-Why not
-Because they can !?
-Because hipsters now want one ?
I don´t know !
from the Bosch press release:
"These are the world’s first angle grinders to have a connectivity function: Thanks to an integrable Bluetooth module and the ”MyTools” function in the Bosch Toolbox app, users can connect the new cordless angle grinders to their smartphone. This enables professionals to personalize their tool, configure it individually, and to call up all of the available tool information, such as the serial number and production date. Users also receive information regarding the status of their tools as well as tips for troubleshooting, for instance if one of their tools shuts down due to overheating, directly on their smartphone"

Wera - made in CZ
I finally joined the forum. Somehow I found this thread back in 2010/2011. It inspired me to buy some easily acquired brands available in the USA such as Bahco(Thanks Snap-On?)Knipex,Wera(The Wera Koloss is ridiculously strong, I don't own a 1/2" breaker bar any more) P.B. Swiss and Felo.
A week ago I ran across two old Gedore socket sets and bought them for $20. Then looking I find out that they might be lower quality India produced stuff. It re kindled my fire anyway.
Now a couple sets of Ko-Ken socket sets on the way. Thanks guys...

Bosch Multiconstruction bits. Ibfind them very versatile and yoy can use them on any material. You only need to be careful if you are looking forbvary accurate drilling holes as the tolerances might not be as food as a dedicated bit for steel.
Some old HSS Drills I found in a cupboard of my father in law. I have used them a few times and they are decent for the price - free[emoji1]
Made in W-Germany, so they must be quite old and possible better than todays avearge bits.

The tools themselves are nice, but jeez, this plastic case is utter garbage! Hard to believe that these cases were the norm, even from a brand like Hazet.

Did you buy this set time ago?
As far as I know the latest plastic blue/ black Hazet are kind of OK and will last a bit of time but not really strong/ durable.
On another note, the latest black ones from Stahlwille are garbage as well.

I've never gotten a single plastic case with tools that wasn't tossed out at my earliest convenience.
I figure that's what tool boxes and roll cabs are for

I have those too but only for my last year of work... they're great! ! It's so handy to have all the tools in one when you're a maintenance tech.. I do wish ghe had a 3rd position or second ' notch ' so that you could lock them closed for shoving in a tool belt/pocket/toolbag/box... I'm sure a little deemed or slitting disk in the right place will do the job perfectly but I need to be certain before attacking what is otherwise a cracking g tool [emoji14]Didn't get the chance to use them yet but yes, they are very thin and feel uncomfortable.
I also got these Knipex electrician pliers:
They have a spring which keeps them slightly open and this makes it very easy to hold the pliers with just one hand to crimp or strip wires. Plus they are insulated, don't rust and don't bend like that cheapo thing

I've seen German made gedore that looked great. I've seen Indian made gedore that makes chinesium look like hazet.
I've heard the South African stuff is good, but haven't seen any here.
Can't be much more help than that

Hi everyone, is there a German manufacturer that makes a cordless threaded rod cutter similar to the Kamekura in the link below?
http://www.kamekura.co.jp/dw-408b.pdf
I am asking because my company is going to be correcting some cable tray work in a new building as the original contractor did not tidy up the ends of threaded rod, now causing a bump hazard, which is of concern to customer. The Kamekura is nice, but since we are going to be working in Germany, I was wondering if there was a local source in Germany to purchase the tool. Dewalt does make a cordless threaded rod cutter, but it lacks the required metric dies. Any leads would be appreciated!
Quick note: we want to avoid corded cutters as our work will be on 16 foot ladders so we want to avoid the cord hazard, and similarly manual cutters could throw a worker off balance. We are hoping the cordless cutter alleviates those concerns.

I know someone who will be visiting family in Germany this summer, they'll be staying near Ebermannstadt, which is near Forchheim. Are there any places to buy tools nearby? I'm mostly looking for Knipex.

This person will also be visiting Ulm, maybe there is some retail Knipex nearby?
Would be easier if you search by google. There is Horbach and Bauhaus in every town in Germany, however they do not have a lot of the high spec tools.
Local hardware shops is more difficult to find and the prices of high end tools are normally high. Saying that I have found quite a few offers throughout the years.
Monte or Blockwart would know more about it.
Otherwise order online where you can get good prices in general

I would like to buy a tap and die threading set, and I'm torn between Volkel and Ruko, they both seem good and at a comparable price. Anyone here have positive experience with either or both?

Yes, Google would be great, if I understood German.
I would love to order online, but the $30 in shipping to USA is somewhat of a deal breaker. I may order online and have the items shipped to the address in Germany where my friend will be staying. Then, she can bring them back with her. But shipping to Germany means paying VAT, so with less expensive items, I win. To get away from both VAT and shipping, I need a retail location that she can visit. But if the vendor would ship the item to a German address and include the form to refund the VAT, that would be ideal.
Hopefully, Monte will weigh in.

Personally I'd never buy a set of taps. Your best bet if you're actually going to be tapping hole is to buy individuals in the sizes you need from a machinist supplier.
If you want German taps, I've had good luck with guhring. Most of mine are British and American though, bit of Japanese yamawa too

Thanks vintage nut for your input, I agree, buying individual taps as needed is a better idea, however, I am buying these as a set because where I am at there are only Taiwanese and Chinese junk available, and when I need a tap I can't wait two to three weeks to have it shipped to me from Europe or the US.

I'm not sure where you're located, but surely there must be some sort of local industrial supplier? I'd be surprised if you couldn't find somewhere to buy them off the shelf with a bit of looking around.
