Very very nice tools especially your Stahwille and Hazet wrenchesToday I found my camera.
Arrived a few things yesterday.
Hazet, Stahlwille, Knipex e Petzl:
I'm not a mechanic, but I always do something in the car, and these items could not miss in my tool bag.
When I opened the box had a pen and a keyring.
Two Knipex:
End of my problems with the holes in my belt.
Always miss these, now no longer ...
As it lacked space in my Veto, I bought these with support.
Congratulation bro

I a had the opportunity to play with this model, iirc the wired headband is patented by Petlz. It's also more stronger than it looks on pics
@mrtools : Nice Merry pliers, typical Japanese yellow colored handles.

I have several petzl headlamps; I would stick with the conventional elastic headband. The string is to save a few grams on the weight- this doesn't matter unless you're an ultralight backpacking nut that wants to brag how much their backpack weighs.

@Bhae: Those KS tools are ****!
He has a tool store in Spain if I remember correctly. And yes, it seems the order from KS-tools to Rotar Group did include: extra chrome plating. But I could be wrong.Did you buy the whole catalogue with that?
Looks very nice!
The e-torx sockets looks great good. All of it does actually.
@Monte:
- Thanks.
@johnnybentwrench:
- Thanks.
@AutomatiquE:
- Nice grinder and tape.
@american lockpicker:
- Lights fine, extremely sharp movements make it out of position at the head, but nothing harmful in normal use.
@cosmik binturong:

The regular elastic band is probably more confortable, but the steel string is an interresting feature too, not only because of the light weight but rather more for the unusual system itself.
That isToday I found my camera.

Well I went to Aldi today and no German tools were to be found but I did find these items from France, Switzerland and Denmark.
I swear all that place is good for is food. 
Also I found these on sale at a crafts store.
Lastly I visited Lowes after going to Aldi and noticed that they had a NOS Bosch hammer drill(Bulldog Extreme) on sale for $220 should I get it or a HD19-2 and a SDS chuch for around $200?

Stabila. It has a ergonomic rubber coated housing, it feels good in my hands and the switch works easy. The Facom looks similar but no rubber coating and i have a yellow Stanley too which looks like the Stabila, but the Stabila switch works easier. So i take mostly the Stabila, sometimes (for inside measurements) i take the red BMI tape. The blue tape is at home , the big one is too big and the brown Stanley one i only own because i wanted to own a french made tape too

ok i have to think about that again
uh oh.. with your amount of tools it will be a high tools bill
Hopefully your company don´t go out of business because of your tool bills Sola =
@Lockpicker:
good Aldi stuff
2 different tools for different purposes....
Don´t you have a regular 2 speed drill from Bosch already ? With "Multi Construction" drill bits you can drill into stone even without hammer mode. SDS-Plus drill for concrete etc. So if you want to drill into concrete or chisel some tiles away get the SDS Plus drill, if you only drill into metal, wood, stone then the 19-2 or none at all if you already have a regular drill.
Another one for the collection:

@americanlockpicker: I've got the same Kum sharpener, excepting that mine is made of Magnesium. Truly the best sharpener i ever had
It's interesting how some little things can make you happy sometimes

You need to know hindi to work for them so I am guessing made in india for the coo other than that I don't know.I fell in love with transparent handles

Monte I really want you to count up your 13mm wrenches and tell us how many you have, in total. Combination only please
Is that your most used wrench?
13mm combi wrenches ? 29 ...
if i borrow my fathers then 31 But i only use 3 of them (Hazet combi, Gedore ratcheting combi + Facom speed wrench combi), the rest is just for the collection
But don´t worry - more to come
The most used wrenches are probably the 13, 15, 17 and 19mm sizes.sweeeet !!
nice Felo screwdrivers !

I saw this on ebay; Beta tools.
Am I the only one smelling Taiwan?
I've never seen a COO on any Beta tool and my emails to Beta have gone unanswered. The quality is excellent and haven't had any issues.
Thanks Jeff and Monte, I have never seen this before from BETA. The ratchets, the blow mold case, selection of tools, the black 1/4" handle - is just soooooooo similar to what has been coming from Taiwan in the last several years it is hard to miss the resemblance.
I am not sure what is the right thing to do, but I am inclined to stop buying BETA from now on. It is a shame, they make some excellent tools - i.e. circlip pliers. If I want decent Taiwan tools there is a shop in my town that sells Toptul. And the price is fine.
PS: I am guessing this is Taiwan but this could be from the mainland as well. With no transparency - who knows.

Hi guys! Today was my lucky day. It did't seem so at the beginning - the first thing I did this morning was that I scratched my glasses when they hit the ground. So I went to Bauhaus for some material and I saw there and bought this Sora set too. It was in sale because of one missing screwdriver, and it cost 159kč (about 6Eur).
After Bauhaus bauhausing, I had some free time, so I took a look of our city flea market. I bought there set of LSR Tools micro-screwdrivers, VDE stamped, for 4Eur...
http://www.lsr-tools.de/produkte/produkte.aspx?key=l_4
and I decided to go home, but suddenly I saw...
(MOMENT OF SURPRISE)
This thing for 1,50Eur (One Euro and Fifty Cents)
So I bought it I did some net search about it I am scared of using it not to damage it in any way, because it's totally new-in-box
Example link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Faber-Castell-TK-matic-push-button-pencil-0-5mm-/160595626262

Nice pencil!!!
Same for me. I had to go all over 2 states to get parts for the John Deere but managed to find some interesting items and there was a cute girl who called me hun and helped me get parts at Bridgeport(Bosch dealer).
As the blades weren't in stock I needed to go 2 counties over to the other shop and noticed an out of the way Ace hardware where I found the Gardena nozzle and Fiskars sharpener. Also found the other items at Walmart(better for tools than Aldi...) 
Interesting to see that in 2010 Stanley was pointing out one of their products is made in England(I hope thats a trend.) Also I seen some new old stock Makita powertools that were USA assembled at that Ace how old is too old(colour was the older teal)? I really like this Gardena nozzle compares to my old USA one(my sister threw it away accidently) its lighter and better designed.
