Tools from the old world

[nowlan]

I have been looking at Deutsch plugs for awhile, and plan to shift to these for next loom builds.

I thought the Deutsch plugs were machined pins. Ive only seen DMC crimpers used.
AFM8
AF8
Deutch also have their own green version.

Have been curious which knipex plier would do the same.
4 pin madrel?

I had a friend asking me about Stahlwille Corona.
Can anyone tell me more? Is it some premium brand?

Corona is the name of the Stahlwille shallow offset box end wrench series.

Edit: And of course, Stalhwille is a premium brand.

My trusted penlight is a Suprabeam. I posted it here before: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3387028&postcount=16946

No complaints with it. I really favour it's ability to change the focus of the beam. I've seen others that have that feature, but often found that they produce unwanted rings and the light is cast unevenly. With the Suprabeam the light is evenly cast, with no rings, whether it's full flood, beam focus or anywhere in between. For a penlight class, I haven't come across another that meets the versatility and light output of this. ....although, I'll admit I'm not a flashlight enthusiast like some are....so, take that into consideration. I'm really happy with mine though, and every co-worker who saw/used mine were really impressed with its performance.

Thanks for this short review ! Sounds good ! What annoys me are dark spots or dark rings but it seems Supralight knows what they do Since more and more flash lights have LED lights i think they have gotten better. Now we need some Li-Ion AA and AAA cells and everything will be good

Hello Everybody,

Most of my tools are Facom bought more than 20 years ago (so Made in France) ,

nice tool collection !

I am also looking for a professional crimp plier for isolated and non-isolated plug type connectors and for end sleeves (ferrules).

Monte, what do you think of this model:

i have the same one but without the RCD plug. It´s good i think. Buy it

...and with my daughter's wrenches. Sorry, she insisted!

it´s a good start !

How good is this Hazet's torque wrench? and how much you would pay for the NOS one? 6121 CT made in W.Germany,NOS and dude is asking 90 Euro

 

[Mr MoAiZo]

German made Wera?

Yes!

Knipex Multicrimp or Preciforce are very nice

Wow, did not know that a system like this exists! Looks pretty slick!

Those Swedish ones look good.

I use the solder type terminals, but similar Knipex, just different dies.

I bought Knipex PreciForce® Crimping Pliers 97 52 35, 18 months ago, and these have been fine. I have been using a pair of Utilux R125-U for the last 30 years or more. The ratchet on the Knipex is a good feature.

The other very worthwhile tool is an insulation stripper, that gives consistent lengths of strip; makes for much neater job. e.g Knipex 12 40 200

I have been looking at Deutsch plugs for awhile, and plan to shift to these for next loom builds.

I already bought the Jokari Super 4 plus.
It doesn't look like much but works like a charm.

Those PreciForce sure look good!

www.wezag.de

Thanks. I will look at them.

Walter Schröder X-GRIPP screwdrivers.

Exellent quality, but rare and hard to find.

Walter Schröder X-GRIPP screwdrivers.

Sears Hardware carries a Schroder ratcheting screwdriver called the Yankee, wish they carried those screwdrivers, those are sweet !

Nice one! Where did you get them?
I am looking for ages for a set of these!

 

[Blöckw@rt]

@Mr MoAiZo

Dont lough !

I found the screwdrivers in the Obi DIY market in Fulda, I would not believe it ........... normally at Obi are only LUX branded tools.

There are also sets with torx, slot and electric (vde)

 

[hugos]

I purchased this plier a week ago, was quite expensive, but worth every cent! Used it a few times now.

Is this a NOS item?

I seem to recall seeing something similar at the store that sells the Connex brand (I forgot what the stores name is, and no, not OBI).
When I saw them, I wasn't really inspired the handle design and ergonomics, as well as the finish on the handle. ....felt sorta cheapy.....but that's subjective matter.

Do you know which shops in Germany sell NWS? In particular one close to the border with the Netherlands

a new one in that torque range cost about 170 euro.

That's a beauty.

it´s some kind of hammered reseda green paint

the weight is 12,3 kilogram

I don't recall them looking like that, but I'm going by memory here, and what do I know, I'm in Canada.

maybe they had others ? Possible. In our stores they don´t have the Schröder screwdrivers for example. Some OBI stores sell LUX branded tools others have "Connex" tools ....? Maybe different franchise owners or so ..?

That's a beauty.

yeah huh i love those cast dovetail type vises

Was there only one set of them at your Obi or several sets?
I went to my Obi store and found a yellow torx set. I think I am going to buy it .

Nice!

I got mine from Ebay as the sellers round here do not offer the chrome versions.
I think Monte bowdown provided you with the best links.

Today I bought Unior 1/2 (10-32 mm) socket set. It is new set, but in old version. For 55 Euro. It is very well made and finished, I like it. All parts in this Unior socket set are made from high quality chrome vanadium molbydenum steel from slovenian steel manufacture SIJ http://www.sij.si/en

 

[hsnedigar]

we've got a set of the Rennsteig screw extractors at the shop I tried to use them to pull out a snapped exhaust bolt and all it did was ream out the hole I drilled I don't know if I used them wrong or what. but I wasn't over impressed but they make one hell of a reamer

These sure look good.
I have a 1/2" 10mm and a 1/2" 32mm socket from them.
They are well made. In my opinion Unior is as good as Gedore.

Keep in mind that todays maintenance free pear head ratchets RL.161, JL.161 and SL.161 are made in Taiwan and are only inspected in France.
I asked a seller and he told me.


I found these videos (and do not know if they were already posted here) as I was searching for my next roller cabinet - it will be a Chrono.7XL from Facom .

To Monte: What web stores do carry Connex scewdrivers?

 

[Blöckw@rt]

I will keep my eyes open!
Was there only one set of them at your Obi or several sets?
I went to my Obi store and found a yellow torx set. I think I am going to buy it .

There were several sets of PH/PZ, slot and torx.

Next weekend i will buy a set of torx !

 

[Blöckw@rt]

@chikongio

Connex screwdrivers only be sold in DIY stores here in Germany (i think so)

 

[Matt_C]

I've a few "old world" brands; mainly Facom, with a couple Würth bits.

Nifty little Facom puller - had to modify this by cutting off the sliding T-handle, in order to get the drivers side wiper off Audi A4's

Three of the four Facom screwdrivers I had - stubby flat tip, long Phillips #1, extra long Phillips #2 (the one I lost was the stubby Phillips #2)

This is a great little set; Facom handle with double ended 1/4" shanks. 6x Torx (10,15,20,25,30,40), tamper Torx (20,25), 4x Phillips (0,1,2,3) and 4x flat ends, plus a 1/4 bit holder (I've a second bit holder shank that I use in my drill). Great for getting reluctant screws out, as I can put real pressure on the handle, and turn the shank with a 1/4 ratcheting spanner.

Facom pliers;

Facom adjustable wrench;

Facom 40 series metric wrenches; 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16,17,19 (would like a 15 and 18mm to complete)

Würth "Zebra" 1/4 nut driver, with locking 1/4" bit adapter;

Würth "Zebra" 1/4 ratchet. Don't really use this, just lives in my rivet drawer with a socket on it, so I can change the rivet gun ends quickly;

I've also a set of Würth 1/4" drive metric sockets (4,5,5.5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14) too, that came with the ratchet

i believe they´re imported. It seems they´re just a dealer/distributor.
I think there is no german made standard caliper anymore.
I would take this one for 45.-€

Monte, i will take some more pics tomorrow and post them. I work for Siemens in South Africa and visit Germany once or twice every year, during July or August. This year i will spend my spare time visiting some toolshops. I need to get some of the "nice" stuff like the NWS pliers.

My recent purchase was a set of the Gedore 7R ratchet wrenches, they are imported to our country, and therefore quite expensive. I still short a few sizes to complete the set. I normally travel to Erlangen and Munich, so if you know of some Toolshops i can visist in those areas, i will greatly appreciate if you can advise some names.

Regards from an "always" sunny South Africa.
