Surplus German Military Toolboxes

Looks like the German military had some nice cantilever toolboxes. This guy on Youtube is selling some old surplus boxes along with some (East/West?) German adjustable wrenches. There's some stickers/patches thrown in as well.

The Youtube channel is The Post Apocalyptic Inventor. He does a lot of scrap yard rescue and restoration. Not sure about the price for shipping to America. Let us know what the going rate is if you end up buying one.

Although I really like the cantilever tool boxes, already have enough toolboxes right now. I'd really like an Eastern German adjustable wrench, if only to see how much slop there is in the jaw. How much wiggle was tolerable in the workers' dystopia of East Germany? It looks like a 10" Western Forge but knowing the Germans, the fit might be a lot tighter.

You might be surprised at the DDR made tools, as I have some other things made in East Germany or Czechoslovakia and they are still quite good.
