Man, I have no clue about the knife. But that's funny as heck lol.
All I could find was some wiki article and their website. Looks like they're going for the "useful and not too expensive" thing with their knives.

Mora makes some very good knives that are very reasonably priced. Check Harry Epsteins site for some very good deals on Mora knives.
nice huh !
I don´t have the ratchet at hand right now but the predecessor pictured below has 20 teeth
it´s not mine
our garage looks like this. There are 8 other renters inside so a couple of tools are always laying around there...what do you want to do with the empty cans ?
they start about 10 bucks.....for that price they´re good i think

NWS steel series ? So finally, NWS decided to list a side cutter made from a Vanadium steel. That sounds good

Its a decent knife for the money. I think the Swedish army uses that model, I like them and have a Mora 2000(thinking of buying another one to put in my survival kit.)

Made in Japan?
You did fine, it's a good idea to not go cheap on measuring tools. A good caliper or especially a mic will last you a few decades if maintained. Etalon, Tesa, and B&S all make very nice stuff from there. Pricey, but all the good stuff is.

My IXO III was Malaysia made too... I don't care, it looks like a phaser and I like it! lol
I wonder what the COO is on these NWS scissors? They are nice enough, but no markings at all. Monte do you know anything about these?

Hello gentlemen!
Fantastic thread, and very informative. If you dont mind I have a question about the brand -Padre. My local hardware store has few Padre tools, it looks like some of them have been there for quite some time judging by price and worn boxes.. Looks like the rest of an "old" stock. (few years)
It seems Padre does not make all there tools ( i.e. some pliers look like NWS), but what about there screwdrivers, 1/2" braker bars, sockets, spanners?
Have they gone the Taiwan - China route yet?
-thanks.

@Olafur : Padre is a nice medium size company, it looks like most of their tools are made in the house or are from other German OEM. They acquired other companies as Tirem, Benscheidt (striking tools), Ceder, zangenmann (cutting pliers, boltcutters...). Obviously NWS is the OEM for their pliers, i don't know for their drivers but if you scroll their Pdf catalog you'll see a a picture of a driver branded Padre on their production line, so maybe their drivers are also made in the house or just assembled "from global composants". Afaik, all their ratchet/sockets/wrenches are made in their factory.
ps : as for Hazet, Gedore, Stahlwille you'll probably find one or two items coming from Taiwan/china.

Hazet and Gedore have some rebranded Taiwan/China things, but i think everything from Stahlwille is made in Germany. (I think a few things are outsourced, but very little.)
@AutomatiquE
Thank you.
So Padre is still primarily using German OEM's. Thats good. Not that i have anything against i.e many tools from Taiwan - I just see no reason to pay "German price" for them when I can get them cheaper.
I have used several Padre tools through the years and have found them to be very strong and durable.

nice set !!!
nice video too
China
Sweet !!!!
i dunno....could be from everywhere.....China, Germany.....? scissors somehow look all the same no matter where they are from..... the importer should know....
if from Germany maybe from Kretzer, like these ones but with dipped handles:
Padre filed insolvency in march so there will be probably no new stock
...Look on the tool if it says "Germany"...
Thanks, sad to hear about Padre, hope there production will continue...Padre filed insolvency in march so there will be probably no new stock
...Look on the tool if it says "Germany"...
Few weeks ago I stumbled across this thread and saw someone mention this.. look for "Germany" or "made in Germany" on the tool. Since then I have been checking out old toolboxes with misc. tools that have survived plenty of use and abuse. To me the result is somewhat a surprise. From now on I will look for COO on all tools I buy. Perhaps I will post some pics later to illustrate..
