Hello guys,
Could anyone recommend any specific brand and model for bean to cup esspresso/ cappuccino coffee maker.
I am looking for something up to GBP 400 but less would be better.
There are so many with good reviews on coffee taste but not good on reliability.
It is an important tool after all☺[emoji477]

Good luck
I just needed to settle some formalities. But thanks anyway
Speaking of Stiga lawnmowers, they are made in Slovakia. Chainsaws are made in China.
So called "delfino" combination wrench from ABC Tools. Has anyone heard anything of this brand? They want to sign an agency agreement with me, but I have some doubts about their products quality. Their price level is not cheap, some references are more expensive than Beta or even Facom and SAM, but I'm embarrassed by design. I don't know why, but handles coloring reminds me some cheapo Chinese brands. Anyhow, their regional manager assures me that ABC quality can be compared with Facom, USAG and Beta.
Maybe I should ask them for test samples?

The following excerpt is from their site. See what their statement says which they just probably import and do not produce tools which means no direct control over quality.
Maybe ask where each of the tool series are made in, that will give you an indication of the quality variation!
"The company was established in 1913 by initiative of my grandfather Hermann Amos, entrepreneur and forward-looking man, that had the capacity and intuition to seize the opportunities shown by the productive and cultural “former” context at that time. He identified a precise and well defined commercial philosophy: select and distribute high quality tools in Italy, a country ******* with a decisive industrial growing and expanding economy. Investing in that field showed up to be the right choice."

That's what their manager wrote to me: "ABC products are sourced all around the world, EU Countries and non EU Countries". Exhaustive answer, isn't it?
They also distribute some other brands, such as Knipex, Hazet, Mitutoyo, Lukas, Tohnichi, BMI, etc., but I can sell it much cheaper than ABC does.

Never heard of the brand, but those "Dolphin" wrenches have been around for a couple years now from an unknown (to me) Taiwanese OEM. They have been re-branded to several names and sold in North America and Japan.

Cool looking handles.
Does Tome Feteira make the files for them ?

What do you think about the Facom 1/2 impact driver, any feedback?

The Hazet one is also made by Koken in Japan but the more expensive model. The Stahlwille one is made in Germany and has a price to match...

We have to wait until April to see the price level. In the ideal world, prices will be like those of AEG/Ridgid power tools... But I think that Beta will cost like Milwaukee or even more expensive

Looking at that SNA video the Bahco file and bowsaw plant is in Portugal, bandsaws England, hacksaw blades and handsaws Sweden, secateurs France and lots of forging bring done in Spain.
I'm surprised they have a hole saw plant Belarus. It's a one party state ruled by a violent dictator

Cool coincidence. I recently got the 11mm. Wish I had this a long time ago as it speeds up doing brake bleeding on these rear calipers.

Decided I should get some decent 1/2 chrome sockets, only ever had cheap Draper expert ones till now, got this whole Facom set for £80. Dont see the point in 6pt in chrome when I already have impact sockets and 6pt 3/8 drive for the smaller sizes.

Now you can fill your tool pouch with just one plier!!! Perhaps this is from Facoms new geriatric tool line.

Would be good in a production environment if you were cutting a lot of wires at the bench in an assembly job, bet they would be awful at wire stripping. Merry (Japanese pliers) does an electronics cutter with similar operation.
