Makers marks (again, no doubt)

[Tukukino]

I have a "Perfect Handle" screwdriver that I'm beginning a resto-mod on. It's badly pitted and one scale was missing from the handle, so a restoration is out of the question.

I'm into the rabbit hole of identification though and need some help. I have a forge mark under the remaining scale, clearly crossed lineman's pliers within a shield and I've found a few remaining letters on the shaft, presumably the elusive makers mark.

Anybody recognise what's left? I'm thinking the brand is ...REM'S and the line below is the product line but I can't find a match.

Some of the PH type screwdrivers did come from Germany, so don't restrict your search to US makers.

The spacing between the M and S sure looks like it is bigger than the previous spacings, and fit for an apostrophe.
German does not use apostrophes to indicate genitive possession. Unless the name ends with the “s” sound. (And even if the “S” sound isn’t formed by an S, such as maybe X or Ce., but that doesn’t apply here). (And in which case the apostrophe ends the cluster, with no appended final S)

So, let’s invent a fictional firm owned by the Hegrem family. Tool would not say “Hegrem’s”
A fictional firm owned by the Hegrems family might label their tools “Hegrems’”

Oh yes, sir! That does narrow the search, somewhat
My mother was a librarian and I very much appreciate the linguistics lesson.

If you put cross into the details, look at Braunschweig and Pass.

Try Ahrems Goodline

They are German import tools

YMMV

***SUCCESS!***

I posted this is one of the FB groups and got a hit.

It is German! The manufacturer, Ahrem's, from their Good Line range of tools.

Thank you for your considerations to my puzzle.
