Very cool. Several years ago I found one at an auto swap, minus the box. Found the picture, turns out it's a combo. I was thrilled because a forum member had gifted me the Snap-On version in the Secret Santa. I like that odd wrench related stuff.11mm Stahlwille open end Letter Opener

Does anyone know much about vintage Muralt grease guns? This one was inside our 1961 Unimog 404.1 and is of excellent quality. It has a chain-pull plunger like the old Wanner guns, I couldn’t find much about the company in English or German. There’s no country marking but I’m guessing Swiss origin.

Square drive sizes are the same dimensions internationally regardless of the unit of measure.

ebay probably your best bet. Set up an alert and be patient...
Gedore didn’t waste saleable 10mm wrenches for their effort.Very cool. Several years ago I found one at an auto swap, minus the box. Found the picture, turns out it's a combo.

Who makes the T handle Allens at exactly 4 minutes into this video.
I think that are these:
Pb swiss tools PB 1204.SET 6 = 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 mm
PB 1204.SET 10 = 3,4,5,6,8,10 mm

USAG and Facom are two other possibilities.
The Facom wrenches are the 84 series.
USAG seems to have two different designs for their 280 series wrenches, so Facom might as well.
One seems to have a TK suffix, and the other a TT suffix.
Beta manufactures something similar as their 951 series.

USAG and Facom are both owned by SBD, and they seem to apply both brands to otherwise identical tools. USAG is Italian, and Facom is French, but for example I've got some USAG screwdrivers and L-keys that were made in France and appear identical to Facom-branded versions. This seems to apply to T-handles, screwdrivers, P-handles, L-keys, and some fold-up sets. All these have USAG numbers starting with "280"; I'm wondering if "280" indicates the product was made in the French factory.
I think the Lego keys in the video are from Beta, but it is hard to be sure. Note that the biggest key in the set is different; it has a round bar and the two handle ends are clocked differently, which is a very cool feature.
Both Usag and Facom are made in italy
Can you provide your source for that? My set of Facom 84TCD were most definitely made in France. But they are a few years old and things may have changed.
Edited to add: Here's a video showing Facom torque wrenches, spanners, and ratchets being manufactured in the USAG Gemonio plant:
And here's what Ultimate Garage says: "USAG Sliding T-Handle Metric Hex Key - 4mm (84TCD.4) - suited for use in auto and motorcycle repair shops and for industrial maintenance. USAG manufactures these keys in their Gemonio (Italy) factory and they are marketed under both the USAG (280TK series) and Facom (84TCD series) names. I prefer to stock the USAG branded tools because of the cheaper price and US warranty (the Facom keys have to be sent back to France for warranty consideration)."
So maybe "280" just indicates a product that was originally a Facom product and has nothing to do with COO?

Facom owned USAG.
After Stanley purchased USAG, I think they the terminology they used for the Italian section or Italian manufacturing plants.
Facom used to and likely still does, produce tools for USAG, and USAG makes tools for Facom.
Some other items are also likely purchased from other manufacturers to fill out the product lineup.

Just wanted to say thanks to this group for introducing me to Knipex. I fell way down the rabbit home! Cobras from 100mm to 400mm.
Doubled up on a few sizes in order to have spares - certainly don't "need" every size, but they sure are purdy to look at! Fantastic quality to boot, and you can bet I sure did try the stand on the pliers trick. Simply amazing!
