New additions

What model number is this set?

Stronger than any bolt

Hopefully it won’t take another year or two to get a response.
I have some Stahlwille tools and will post up some shots later.

Right now I am looking at the low torque wrench 730/5. This is newer with a black and green handle. I also saw an older one that was just 730 with a black handle. There is another new version that is 730 N(?) I believe.

My question to you more experienced with these; what is the difference between the older and newer and the /5 verses the N?
Are these split beam torque wrenches? I have a 1/2” and 3/8” old, boxy Snap-on split beams and like them. You know, the ones with the metal handles and a rolling dial for the torque setting. They seem much easier to use than the “click” type I’ve heard about. Not really sure what is the difference between those types either or why one would pick one over the other?

However I am interested in the Stahlwille 730/5 with a range of 6-50 Nm.
Thanks for any help or guidance.

I bought my first Stahwille wrenches after researching the thickness of the open end.I have a Jet brand spindle sander.To change the spindles,you need two open ends.They were absolutely the answer to the question.I since bought some for big nuts on my lawnmower deck.Their light but strong,one in each hand is a joy to use.Great tools

I bought the 12 piece double deep offset metric set over the holidays from Amazon when it was on sale - my first anything Stahlwille and I am very happy with it. Put it to use already on some suspension/engine maintenance, and it filled a hole I had in my tool chest as all I had before was a leftover Draper set with only 4 or 5 pieces, India casting I think so not super quality.

 

[Zewnten]

Just bought these and like them. Case survived shipping from the UK in a layer of cardboard no problem.

Hello again all! I thought I'd add a fresh post to liven up this old thread from 2016. How about this 1970's Snap-On F71G with a Stahlwille 435, 30 tooth repair kit installed. Actually, this one didn't need a whole lot of modifications to make it happen. Really, the big one was boring out the inlet receptical bore for the pawl on the selector side, from 1/4" to 5/16" in order for the Stahlwille pawl to fit into the F71G's pawl cradle. Also, the F71G bushing was swapped out for a F723 bushing. The plate and screws are from the S-O F71G. But the gearwheel, pawl, selector, spring and ball are from the 435 kit. It's essentially the same action and feel of the Stahlwille 435, but the sound is more of a deepened tone from the steel that the F71G provides. All in all, a successful hybridized combination of two top quality tool companies, USA and Germany working together. Looks cool too imo. Thanks and have a great evening!-JS

didn't know there was a specific thread - I have 13 series spanners and a few other bits

 

[cherrybomb]

I first answered this post in Jan.22,I've since bought more selection of mostly wrenches.They are a great brand of tool,the finish you will soon learn to love.The wrenches are light,because they can be,the German steel is amazingly strong.I hadn't heard much about the brand,as in my earlier post I needed two thin open ends for a Jet sander.Researching the head thickness,they were very thin,they solved my problem.I was convinced, and that's why I bought more Stahwille.Buy a wrench or two from Jens,it might convince you also of another great brand of tools.

 

[thewbee]

I have a fair amount of Stahlwille as we used to have a independent mobile dealer in Austin that has since retired.

 

[silkman]

I have very few stahlwille tools and many Hazets. Both are excellent, the Stahlwille however dont have the tightness of the Hazet eg when you put a socket on a ratchet.

Stahlwille open box 14 is the best wrench I've laid my hands on. I got the set from Amazon de (you can find them on good price there), TBS is very expensive (I reckon they sell internationally for much more than MSRP), and paid an arm and a leg on the local dealer to get me 16 and 18,mm that were missing from the set.

I also got a stahlwille 3/8 long flexhead which is fantastic. For you in the U|S of A there are probably better flexhead options, but not many options for us in Europe. Backdrag is HALF that of the Hazet hiper ratchet.



Also got some locking 1/4" extensions which are great, but again not that tight as the Hazets. Again from Amazon de at a good price. Couldn't find locking extensions in any other brand. Stahlwille has whole socket sets where everything locks with each other, they call them QR. Quite expensive



The Stahlwille torque wrenches are regarded as better than Hazet in some circles.

Unfortunately not my tool boards

The Stahlwille factory in Wuppertal:

Now you are just plain ******* me off!

I have used Stahlwille combination wrenches since I bought my first set 53 years ago - and they are still in fantastic condition in spite having been used commercially and by employees for decades. IMHO best hand tools I have ever had in my hands. We have a Canadian distributor but no where near full range in stock

 

[Achilleus]

Got this a few days ago and love it - 3/4 drive metric - $300 on ebay. I was reading about them and they don't use Cr-V, it's just chrome steel.



When I compare to the snapon equivalents, the swivel is a bit more substantial in the Stahlwille, and there is zero gap on the join, unlike snapon. But snapon's extensions are thicker at the female side. For the ratchet, the Stahlwille has a tighter hold on the handle, and the switch is more substantial. The handle for Stahlwille is just a bar with zero knurling, and I'm not sure if it's extendable in any way since it has a bearing on both ends - am I missing something here?

They are both beautiful works of art.

 

[Nobody-named-Olli]

The handle (558) is not extendable with Stahlwille/factory parts. All you can do, if needed, is put a cheater pipe on it. Don’t exceed approx. 1m/ 39”.

The detent balls on both ends are to ensure that when the handle (558) is used with the ‘sliding head’ (556) that doesn’t slide off unintentionally.

Kind regards,
Olli

 

[CHI_Tool&Die]

I’ll have to post some photos from work when I get back to the shop. I have a bunch of Stahlwille tools. Fantastic stuff!

 

[Nobody-named-Olli]

Did some spring cleaning/ maintenance on our bicycles. Before putting the toolbox back I took a picture of the Stahlwille stuff I solely use within the bicycle kit. (The rail itself is not Stahlwille, I think it’s from the GedoreRed line. IIRC when I bough it, the Stahlwille ones were not available, not that it really matters anyway …)

got this little guy today



next to my good old 3/8" 30 tooth 435SG

 

[YesIHaveAHammer]

Quoting these from the arrivals thread a while back, to contribute to the thread.

How it started

Stahlwille last bits arrived today.

Stahlwille 4686 5 Piece Slotted And Pozidriv Screwdriver Set
Not a brand I had in mind when looking for screwdrivers, but this caught my eye at a very good price.

Stahlwille 4640 DRALL+ Pozi Screwdriver PZ0 x 60mm
To complement the above set. The handle and shaft printing are of an older design.


Stahlwille '400 Drall' 1/4" Drive Spinner Handle 150mm Long
I wanted one with a drive hole and initially got a Bahco 6956, but I didn't like the handle (too round and small diameter).

Wera 003529 1/4" Drive 8784 A1 Zyklop Bit Adaptor
There's a fair bit of longitudinal play at the square drive end; the groove that receives the ball is too wide.



Stahlwille 405 1/4" Drive Extension Bar 2" (54mm) & 4" (100mm)
I'd got some Beta ones at first, but upon arrival the amount of play in them was unsatisfactory. The male ends of these looked very sharp, and unsurprisingly there's little play.

Facom R.209S 1/4″ Drive Wobble Extension Bar 55mm
The Stahlwille equivalent (405W) trades off strength in favour of a wider wobble angle (15deg each way), which was not to my preference.

Facom R.240A 1/4″ Drive Universal Joint
Just because it was a fair bit cheaper than the Stahlwille equivalent (407).

Stahlwille 427 3/8" Drive Extension Bar 1.5" / 38mm & 3" / 76mm
Being impressed with the fit of their 1/4" extensions, I also chose them for some extra 3/8" lengths I wanted. The lack of play is excellent, and the ball spring is quite strong (better on both these matters than Facom extensions, and Stahlwille's own spinner handle above).

Picks, made in China (unusual for Stahlwille)

Pointy and sharp things that arrived this week.

Stahlwille Hook & Pick Set 13000-13003/4 155mm
Pleased with these, proportions are just right. Not too bulky or dainty, 3.5mm shafts. The hook angle is good - it looked a little too open in photos. The case is sturdy but doesn't roll up, and this latest version doesn't have clear pockets for visibility although the ends of the handles are somewhat faintly marked. They also do a 250mm set. I did like the compound/complex shape some others do, but on balance went for these. I thought the Tektons were a bit too long, handles a bit cheap feeling (I have their mini pry bars) for the price compared to these, and no clear warranty worldwide. PB Swiss was also a contender but many reports here of them being a bit brittle and fragile.

Screwdrivers for a pouch tool kit

Stahlwille 4630 DRALL+ Phillips Screwdriver PH0 x 60mm

Stahlwille 4628 DRALL+ Electricians Slotted Screwdriver 3.5 x 75mm
To go in a small pouch tool kit. Not excessively long like most parallel tip ones are.

Scraper

Stahlwille Gasket scraper 12718
This thing is sturdy, but well proportioned and weighted. The blade is 25mm wide, 1.6mm thick before the edge bevel, sharp but not excessively so that it digs. Shaft is 10mm hex. Unlikely that it'll see see any gaskets.

Drive adapters

Stahlwille square drive adaptors 1/4" to 3/8", 3/8" to 1/4", 3/8" to 1/2" (409, 431, 432)
These have a good fit just like the extensions. The step-down one is marked with a max torque of 62 Nm. The 1/4" female has a hole for a locking pin.

I found that Wera adapter to have a lot of play as well.

Great quality, reasonable prices,you've got it figured out!Congrats and thanks for posting the pictures

Perhaps slightly non-ideal is that the 19mm is quite a lot longer than the 18mm despite being for the same thread size.

They get longer each size up and including to 18mm, but multiple sizes share a length above that.

Here are a few from over the years

 

[Itinerant]

I don’t have much but the Drall+ screwdrivers have been my go-tos for a long time. I got the Stabil deep offset DBE’s quite some time ago but I’ve never used them.
