As you wish:better pic of the small screwie please?
It seems that the 'Connex' labeled screwdrivers are made by Robert or Walter Schröder.
In this case the 'Connex' 0,8x4x25 it is a
Robert Schröder Exagon-Stubby 0.156.0
or a
Walter Schröder Stubby 140403.
Very sad that the Erdi has no coo on them.
But I found no 'Made in Germany' mark on the Knipex high leverage combo pliers either as I checked yesterday.
Maybe Monte, as always, knows best.
You are correct. Two more bits in the handle. The third was in there as well, but they were jammed (I dropped it in a cup of hot water to get them out) so that may have been a fluke, or maybe two is the design limit.

Don't search for the Gedore it's just a handle with a long insert.

btw. it´s the 1961 Chevy Impala of a buddyLooks great, and your Monte Carlo seems like it's coming along great too
very nice finds !!!!
it´s an very old item. I got it from here:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Bithalter-Ge...n_Heimwerker_Handwerkzeug&hash=item1c3d7532f6
made by NWS
lower priced Bessey snips like the 20 - 25 euro models are from Taiwan. I´ve also seen "Assembled in Germany" and "Made in Germany".has the Bessey/Erdi production been outsourced to some far far far away land of crappy toolmaking???
The newer Erdi packages should have a coo on the back. The cheaper ones are from Taiwan....Very sad that the Erdi has no coo on them.

no coo on the inside of the Knipex handles ???

you're right! it's not easy to find nice Facom stuff that you do not already have in one of the numerous drawers of that lovely Lista blue box of yours...
anyway, i couldn't let this small, NOS, AMR in a shop that will be closing soon. happy to see that it has found a good home.
Hello Kitty! stationery being in my experience almost never stolen, lost by the post or opened by customs is thereby the safest way to send small stuff overseas...

thnaks! looks good even if a bit on the bigger side for stubbies...

I’m was going to try to go to the tool show in Cologne next year but it looks like it won’t be until 2016?
http://www.koelnmesse.com/en/messen...rtBy=datum&sortType=ASC&page=1&maxPerPage=100
Anyone by the way, have any suggestions on what would be the best equivalent or superior to the Apex sockets (1/2” drive with a 3/8” hex bit) for assembly or industrial use on an impact gun? I wish I would’ve had time to check it out this year and see all the offerings. The Apex I got are still top notch and presumably made in the USA but I’m always interested in hearing what else is out there.
I guess Cologne’s got a lot of good trade shows and Dusseldorf’s apparently got others.

Why did they essentially copy a stereotypical Taiwanese ratchet head design...like a Titan or Tekton brand? Where's the German-ness to that?....besides the handle.
What does the underside of that ratchet look like? Is the direction lever fastened by a screw or does it look like a sleeved pin securing it?
Also, are the sockets retained only by a single through-hole...or do they actually have detents on the other sides?
ratchet in the locked position both pawls are engaged
yes they have detents on all sides, would be annoying like hell if not.

LOL brilliant as well then! Did you send a lot of Hello Kitty stuff before you realised it though?

eBay is the best location to buy cheap tin snips (Made in Germany):

looks nicely purtier from that side, albeit a bit portly-lookin', mine is on the way.
for 43 euros shipped i wont mind the bigger head since it's about the price of a nice, Taiwan-made, quality 1/4" ratchet set here.

lotsa before and then lotsa more after.LOL brilliant as well then! Did you send a lot of Hello Kitty stuff before you realised it though?
i once sent a complete custom bike with lotsa Hello Kitty! stickers on the box to a friend in Canada and she was astoundingly astonished that the notoriously finicky and ever vigilant canuckian customs didn't charge *any* taxes on it. didn't push my luck a second time though...

thanks for the interesting links Euromerc
So the "The ONLY British Made Tinsnip." no longer applies, it is the old site before going out of business.
It does seem curious that the closure was reported in May 2009, and then in October 2009 the prior owners re-open after "Footprint Tools entered voluntary liquidation back in May"
<<Sheffield-based hand tools brand Footprint has recommenced production at its Sedgley Road site in Owlerton, Sheffield under the name Footprint Sheffield, the former holding company of Footprint Tools>>
Wonder how the workers fared?

Nice Gedore E-torx!
Oh Monte, you are right, as always.
I was back at Obi to look for something and the Knipex has on the inside the 'MADE IN GERMANY' sign.
But in my defence it was very poorly embossed on the model I saw last time.

The problem at the time was land here, even in inner cities went from being worth nothing to a fortune as the property bubble inflated (the whole UK economy is built around property - we don't really make anything or do much), so loads of smaller firms, but with bigish factories gave up.
When I heard that Footprint were no more I invested a few of their tools.
Some are just branded, the Footprint hammers are made in Leeds by someone else.
I like Mercedes...

that's sad in some sense seing all the good stuff made out of steel that got out of Sheffield in the past centuries.
not much greatness left in Great Britain now...
at least there's still some really great -and good- people there!

Yesterday I walked around the flea market where I usually go with some frequency and found a screwdriver Rubicon tip star No 3 of an older model 
, I remember my father had one of these in your woodworking shop, you are in the eighties so quize have mine and I took it home
Here I put together with the other Star Rubicon I have, the length of the rod in both is 6 inches, but the cream is bigger by the length of the handle
Next to the brand is just made in Japan

Some new and some old,
KTC AS403A and AS403B snap ring pliers, Ko-ken 169HR hose remover and Hazet 779-18 ball joint puller
It pays to have a look at what's in the scrap bin,
Facom NK1000 3/4" drive impact. Works flawlessly.

The Apex/Geta tools seems to be used over here too. Maybe Koken would be an option. They make impact sockets with exchangeable bits in different sizes. Not only for 1/4" bits but also 5/16", 11mm and 16mm.
The Automechanika fair http://automechanika.messefrankfurt.com in Frankfurt might be interesting too. Car parts, tools and shop equipment...
ok@Monte
If it should work, I'll go the next time to the Eisenwarenmesse in cologne.
We should just meet there !?……a "little bit" tool **** and a few beers.
Seriously !!
Where is that scrap bin ??

@Monte, what do you think about this Metabo hammer http://www.ebay.de/itm/Metabo-Kombi...maschinen_Schraubendreher&hash=item565f519e89 ? Is this Made in Germany? In comparation with other producers of 800W hammers?
Do you know where is made this Boschhammer http://www.ebay.de/itm/Bosch-PBH-30...maschinen_Schraubendreher&hash=item3a8d854a5f ? Thanks

Some people of a german tool forum visited the Metabo factory a while ago and could test their tools against competitors and the visitors were surprised how powerful the Metabo rotary hammers were compared to other brands.
yes i own this Dewalt http://www.dewalt.fi/powertools/productdetails/catno/D28886/info/specifications/
(it´s an Metabo GE700 https://www.google.de/search?q=ge70...eHtAbcioGABg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=612)
The Dewalt/Metabo models have a spindle lock. They also have "constant speed electronics" as well as the Bosch GGS 28 LCE, Suhner USG 33-R + USC 25-R, Hitachi GP 3V and Makita GD0800C. The Flex H 1127 VE, Milwaukee DGL 30 E and Rupes AR 38EN don´t have that feature so they will be weaker. Suhner USG 33-R will be the most powerful i guess (1050 Watt input). Unfortunately not all manufacturers disclose the output power. Fein will come out with new models in 2015 i heard. Bosch, Suhner, Flex and Metabo are made in Germany. The spindle lock make the Dewalt + Metabo models interesting. Because of the features, the price/performance ratio (at least in english shops
) and power in the upper end range i think i nowadays would choose the Metabo GE 710.(btw. my Dewalt is for sale...)
