Tools from the old world

[sljeme345]

Happy new year 2016 !!!

price/performance is great ! Can´t go wrong with Rennsteig punches + chisels ! The cutting edge of the PB chisels might be a bit harder but for the price of the Rennsteigs they can´t be beat.

Hazet 916 LG
1/2" extendable ratchet

extendable from 410 to 590mm.

Very nice Monte, and Happy New Year

 

[sljeme345]

Some new stuff in garage, with New Year

Bahco screwdriver set BE-9870 and NOS Belzer No. 8076, 8078VDE-2, No. 1997 MB 6, No.1997 MB 5 and No. 1997 MB 4




Wurth 3K screwdriver set and 3m meter




Some promo stuff from Fein and Unior

 

[garfieldzzz]

Any recommendations on some good quality old world C clamps? Preferably without breaking the bank, but no chinese pot metal!

From a german view Bessey is the way to go. In my opinion fully worth the money.

That is rennsteigs company

Hi Ash,

Quick question: What do you mean with "Rennsteigs company"? Does it mean the two are related? What I find on the Internet is that Tauron is apparently a retailer/wholesaler and happens to sell some Rennsteig products, and that's all. Please accept my apologies if I got something wrong here. Their webpage is severely underdeveloped (http://www.mytauron.com/index.html). Their facebook page provides some information, but when you go to "Shop", they only have one product listed (https://www.facebook.com/Tauron.Get.connected/shop?ref=page_internal&rid=337342886304202&rt=9). They seem to rely quite a bit on Amazon. I have bought from them one time (two Rennsteig Grip pliers at a very good price), and no problems. But I have to say that I prefer to buy from sellers like yourself and some others who offer much more choice and customer service.

The interesting thing is indeed who is the OEM for the Tauron pliers on Amazon in the original link above? My first guess for rebranded pliers is always Orbis because they are the "prostitures" of pliers (what I mean here is that they are very open to rebranding and even advertise that in the first pages of their catalog), but based on their shape I don't think these are Orbis.

Cheers

[Mark Garrett]

I'm not sure if these Wolf 4" & 9" grinders are of interest to anyone. I have been collecting a few Wolf/Kango tools to use and admire over the past few years here are two that I think belong on the same shelf in the workshop!

I could not find any COO on their german website but all clamps I saw in the shops around are marked Germany. But so far I only saw their i beam type c clamps. All F style ones They I own are marked made in Germany or Germany.

The website says that their main production is in Germany (BW)

[ash95608]

Mytauron is rennsteig USA, its there set up to sell tools directly themselves. The pliers are made either by knipex, rennsteig, or orbis and branded for tauron. All those companies are basically the same company also including witte.

[Qualitytools]

Some recent tool purchases.

Picked up yesterday from Ash at German-Hand-Tools

No wonder Santa didn't deliver my tool wish list as he was too busy per-delivering your5 order Very nice indeed!

 

[Qualitytools]

Santa visited last night to ensure I accurately torque my fasteners.

1/2" with 60-340Nm range:






3/8" with 8-60Nm range:




What did Santa bring you, GJ people?

I Love Norbar, recently discovered them about a year or so as I searched and purchased a couple of their torque wrenches. Very Nice

built this bench grinder stand:

 

[Mike.ASC]

That's a very nicely made grinder stand. What is the name of the color?

 

[rice rocket]

I believe it's known as Blue.

 

[Monte]

That's a very nicely made grinder stand. What is the name of the color?

it´s called "green blue". RAL color code is 5001. It doesn´t match the Bosch blue though...
btw. thanks

 

[Monte]

I believe it's known as Blue.

lol
the RAL list knows several blue colors and there are like 1 million more blue shades

 

[SantaAna12]

It does not match???

Well.....where does one get Bosch Blue?

(I really might need to know this....I own several....and need cases).

 

[hautpot]

impressive stand there!

 

[Mike.ASC]

I believe it's known as Blue.

Wow your really sharp. I'm glad you could figure out what I was asking you.

 

[dede2897234]

Monte,

Wow! You have mad tool knowledge and mad fabrication skills!

If you were a U.S. citizen, I bet you could beat Trump and Clinton for the presidency on the independent card based on those 2 qualifications!

Excellent job, Monte
Interested Bliz leveling feet, they have good vibration absorption properties at a stronger jobs on bench grinder?

(I really might need to know this....I own several....and need cases).

The Bosch color is a special mixture. It seems the L-Boxxes also have a different color than the tools for example. The best maybe would be to go to a car parts store who sells paint, the good ones should have a scan tool which can scan the paint of your car (or tool...) so they can mix the paint.

impressive stand there!

thanks

Thanks I don´t think it is neccessary to use these feet for a simple bench grinder because it runs smooth (with good discs) but the surface of my garage is uneven so i can level it and so the stand don´t wobble. I also wanted a professional and different look/design Usually you see these feet on larger drill presses, lathes, milling machines etc. so the vibration of the machine don´t transfer into other machines and vice versa.

 

[pozidriv]

Love the slightly overengineered grinder stand!

Anyone knows who makes the powertools for Wurth, or do they source them from different manufacturers?
Like this one:

 

[Snakevz]

They source from different manufacturers
This drill is Bosch if I'm not mistaken

 

[Monte]

Like this one:

yeah that one is from Bosch. But they also buy from Metabo, Milwaukee, Suhner, Dewalt, Fein, Kress, Flex and Collomix.
The 10,8 and 18 volt tools are from Bosch and the 28 volt tools from Milwaukee for example.

Very nice, thanks for sharing the pics. This got me to the following question: Does someone by coincidence know where (preferably in the US) to get Wiha pliers made in Switzerland (I think this was their last European COO before moving production to Vietnam)? Sadly, these should be all NOS by now...
