New "Kraftmann" Entry Level Tools

[Pumpman1968]

Stumbled across this tonight on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kraftmann-1...t=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item43b76b022a

From the listing:

"Kraftmann is a new entry-level brand to the high quality BGS Technic brand. Kraftmann carries all DIY and Automotive Tools, Items and Offers, all at a high quality and good value."

I kind of like their 12pt sockets in satin knurled 1/4" drive. Sizes: 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8",
7/16", 15/32", 1/2", 9/16"

Doesn't look like April Fools Day joke.

Looks to me like BGS wants a part of the lower end Euro tool market. With active advertising and good distribution they might get a chunk of it too. The ratchet seems to be one of the better lower end designs.

Maybe not innovative but it is showing ambition.

Some guys go nuts for Duralast and Carlisle offerings, I see little difference with this brand.
