Tools from the old world

From a quick unpacking, I can say it's the nicest power tool I own.
Feels solid and well made. Case is excellent with well thought out storage compartments for accessories. The molding is heavy duty styrofoam; we'll have to see how that wears and lasts.
Turning it on there is very little kick, not much noise and very little vibration. Comparable to my electric toothbrush... Well maybe a little more but not much.
Certainly a world up from my dads cordless Makita. Which is a pretty nice tool too though I won't miss the vibration which is very present in the Makita in comparison.
All of the above is without load though. I'll be putting the fein through its paces on Saturday cutting out some flooring, drywall, wall, conduit, and sanding the cabinet I made to hide the lab modem in the living room.
If anyone is interested I can add some details when that's done.
Got the same one last week Fein 350Q top. Needed an new one when my Bosch pmf 180e died in the middle of the job not much used at all! When you look on the internet it's a common problem. Decided to buy a real multi-tool
My first impression is good, less vibrations and noise.

Thanks chrissalas1, looks tempting, but that would bring the total price of everything north of $500 including shipping, and no case which I don't really need (cool to have though for safe keeping). I think ordering from the US is still cheaper. Perhaps I should use a Step Up/Down Voltage Transformer which i already have. Thanks again for the input

Tube spanners are never as strong as proper sockets. They're just steel tube that has a die forced into it to make the hexes, not forged like sockets are.
Still, for making a brake bleeder tool they're perfect. I have a VW one that is half a tube spanner with two handles welded on and hollow all the way for a tube to pass through.

I do have Promat tube spanners (didn't know the name) , they are forged but the inside hole is smaller, the hose will never fit, that's why I bought the wgb 7mm one. The promat is hell to grind or cut, I do enjoy making my own tools when I need them .
I'm sure Gedore ones are also forged, probably Monte will tell us more .

You're right, i forgot you can get forged ones. But they look very different from the outside. You can see which are pressed, so it's clear they're not as strong.
Please do! 'Tools at work' pictures are always better, although I'll admit I never take the time to make them. I could spend an entire evening hammering on something, but getting a camera and snapping a picture somehow seems an arduous and insurmountable effort
What is a lab modem?

What is a lab modem?
iPhone autocorrect [emoji39] I meant isp dsl modem.
When the cable Company put in new cables seven years back the previous owner decided it would be easier to have it come through the living room wall rather than the utility closet by the front door where it belongs. I guess he didn't want to do any in house cabling himself.
I am stuck with this as the cable company wont come and dig up and move the cable 8 meters to the right (they would if i paid them which i dont want to).
So I made this
To cover this
Electrician is comming in during the renovation to move all now hanging cables into the wall

You can see the machining marks on the Gedore version. Cold forged at the ends and the bar machined hex. Colossally strong
Wurth version. Also German made, not sure by who ?

Damn, I really never saw the need for that type of wrench, but after seeing those, I find I NEED the Gedore set!
Damn you, GJ! LOL

i don´t know what exactly i wrote
but i guess it was because of the larger anvil why i did prefer RidgidI think they´re not made here anymore, it also depends which material they use and if these are heat treated or not ...

Any other differences/benefits between the 2 vises Monte?
Screw is partially covered on the Heuer and fully covered on the Ridgid. Never had any issues because of that on my Heuer though.
Sideways play on the moving jaw can be adjusted on the Heuer.

What he said
The Ridgid also can be adjusted click. The Heuer vices are available with exchangeable jaws. The Heuer vices are a bit slimmer. Since the spindles of the Ridgid vices are located under a c-channel they´re wider. In case you clamp something vertically it might be a issue.Fein finger sander for the Multimaster

Bahco club hammers (Co-worker already broke the handle protector on one)
Bahco pin spanners (Sent a weird hybrid for the largest one, i think its had the wrong hook head riveted onto it as the code on the handle is correct for a pin spanner, which it obviously isnt. An email to Bahco has got me no where so far and that was a week ago)
And an SKF bearing/seal install kit;

No worries. The newer ones are made with every other item they pawn off now. In China.sacrilege !!!!!
Milwacki-singh. Has a nice ring to it eh ? 5 year warranty too !
Does anyone have any experience with the company "AW-Tools"? They have a 12V Fein drill and multitalent combo for what seems like a reasonable price.

I bought the 350q last week. Putting it's through its paces this morning. Pics to follow tonight.
The short of the long; I am wondering how I ever survived without it. And it's so much better than my dads cordless Makita… about to two hours of use behind me and my hands still feel normal instead of vibrated to death.
That price is pretty good btw. Toolnation.nl has it the set for about 20 more on special.

Hello guys,
Here is the failed Stahlwille socket I was talking some time ago. As other people have noticed, Stahlwille are very good but thin walled and so they are not intended to be abused.
We used this to undo a 19mm wheel bolt with success. After broken a few sockets and extensions we managed to unscrew the wheel with the use of impact socket and a 450 mm extension from Halfords.

I guess it's still a testament to quality that it cracked and tore rather than breaking into separate pieces.
I have yet to break a socket and hope never to. Never say never…
Thanks for the pics. [emoji1303]

Looks like tool misuse to me! Isnt that a coffee spoon not a tea spoon? Wera warranty voided!

It's doing an important job!
It is a quality metal indeed[emoji6]
I will measure the extension used and calculate the torque we applied approximately.
