The beginning of my Cman Pro screwdriver collection. Plan to have a complete set before too long!
ps: i´ll try Lumocolors next time but still have a bunch of Eddings and Schneider pens (made in Germany of course)
I've never heard of the Eddings or Schneiders, I know Staeltler because of their drafting products.
The Lumocolors can be smugged together, for artistic purposes and still dry pretty well, I find if you smuge the Sharpies too much sometimes they don't like to dry that well. Hence my preference.

Bahco Dual 80's! I opened them up to see how similar they are. Almost identical, but you can tell they dont come from the same factory. These are made in Spain, the coverplates are just barely different and they do not have a seal around the edge of the coverplate like a Snap-on. The reverse switch and the square drive have seals though. The I would rate the chrome a 6/10. It is cloudy, compared the mirror chrome of a Snap-on ratchet.

bought the 10pc mac vice grip set plus tote bag today that was in the flyer a few months back for $100. dealer got more sets in and was selling for the sale price. any body know the COO on these? i looked but could not find any "made in..." cast on them
Taiwan (if they're the same as Stanley's). Other than a few German brands and Grip-On (Spain) they're largely produced in Asia now so unless they're really poor quality don't feel too bad. Cant be worse than Irwin Chinese Vice Grips.

The allen keys show signs of camming out.
Exactly what I was thinking first. I've been on the prowl for one for my next project. Can't wait!

I have the older version chrome handle 3/8 and the hard handle 1/4" version. IDK why these style SO aren't more popular. I absolutely love mine. Is the selector plastic or metal?

Monte,
Quick question, how much are those carhartt in your area?

I think people are put off by the looks of the roto-heads. If they're going to spend so much on a SO ratchet it might as well have the traditional SO look. My only concern was the wider head would get in the way but so far it has not. Mine has the plastic selector. Sort of lame but at least it feels like sturdy plastic.

Have two pair of them myself. Best work around the yard pants you can get. As an added bonus they block the wind really well being double front.

I know they are about 40 bucks at the store I get them in NYC. But 70 euro is allot.
I actually prefer the wrangler riggs line for heavy duty work pants. They are double front carpenter pants as well. But are made of cordura. So they last better then the canvas of the carhartt.

i paid (offline) € 69.95
online price is € 64.95, but + shipping
made in....? The only USA made (or actually non asian made ...besides FHB from Germany...) work pants available here are from Carhartt... i just found a store here who sells the Pointer carpenter jeans (on the wish list...) and there are a couple of online stores here who sell the Round House overalls....but overalls are not my style and the FHB pants are too traditional..... so it comes down to Carhartt, Pointer or importing Round House pants or Texas jeans....
