JBS Tools

[katotter]

Good day chaps,

So I am hitting another brick wall in this lovely third world country of ours. I am having great difficulty getting tool suppliers that keep everything I need in stock, whether it is Gedore, Sykes, Stahlwille etc... and some suppliers do not keep/import the whole range.

One of my tool suppliers have JBS tools and I need to look into it. Anyone familiar with them maybe?

IIRC someone said Australia does not manufacture hand tools anymore, but they say on their webpage they distribute it there.

Thanks.

You should ask around on a dedicated forum (probably vehicle specific). On here there aren't too many aussies let alone south africans.

I will ask around on our local motoring forums too.

Hmmmm ... I'm certainly no authority, but I don't recall seeing JBS tools anywhere in the US. But I would expect an Aussie-made tool to be of reasonably good quality.

You and me both, but someone said they do not manufacture hand tools anymore in Aussie land, so now I am pondering.

I did however order some of the stuff to see the quality.
