FIXMAN - Australia

[katotter]

Good day guys,

I have a hardware store and need to put in a new range of tools, a interchangeable system. My one supplier got the sole import rights to FIXMAN, I did some searching on the web and found they are an Australian brand. Any of you have any experience with them, longevity, workability, rugged etc...

I would put a few sets in, for different application and craftsmen, like plumbers, carpenters, electricians, builders, mechanics etc...

Any advice is welcome.

Wouter

Never heard of fixman tool here in Australia

There are no hand tools that are made in Australia anymore. Never heard of Fixman, most likely its Chinese ****.

Ah, I am mistaken then.

Sorry if I offended you guys.

That's a new one for me as well, my guess is that it would be made in PRC.
I will drop in to the local Mitre 10 today and check them out.
Cheers

since you are from south africa take a look at Gedore tools.

I don't think anyone is offended, there just hasn't been anyone with the answer.

And just because one guy said he's never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist. They may well be an importer or re-seller themselves though, because all manufacturing is seeing the strain from ChiCom competition, which is why I avoid that COO like the plague...

I sell it, great tools and awesome quality, but all imported makes it very expensive. We pay more than double you pay for it.
