After seeing someone post up a bosch drill recently, i decided to check the coo on the bosch tools that i have. My 2 bigger hammer drills are marked made in germany, both work great and get treated a bit rough. Then, i checked the bosch jigsaw and roto zip, both marked made in the U.S.A and finally the bosch sawzall, marked made in china. Fail, i had no clue.
And in the first shot is my Fein cut off and sander tool. This thing is great, it has seen better days and i think i am due for a new one. Its hard when your employee's do not treat your tools as if they were there own.

McKöttbullar ??
I bought one of the "McNürnburger" but like you already said it don´t look that good... also not enough mustard and they need to install a coal grill for the proper taste and grill them longer , more crispy
i don´t know anything about german food culture (?) except schnitzel and wurst
Here is a pic of german food culture
I'll have to contact McD and suggest that!
Like all McD-food, the real life products looks way worse than the promotional picture... Eww
I bought it and the others for the regular price, about 4€ to 5€ each i think. Just for the collection.... on the other hand...
I'm starting to thing you have never met a driver you didn't like
FWIW, I couldn't find it in the 2009 catalog.
Yes they are sweeeet. I found a guy on ebay that was selling the first pair of Hazet needle nose with the yellow handles that i posted a while back. I had to contact him cause it said he would only ship to germany, and thats when I found out about his other Hazet tools. So I purchased them as you can see.
Lucky B*§$%&d
The one is a "Flange" plier the other a "Punch" plier
here i posted about these pliers: (post 1447 + 1452)
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=756396&highlight=tama#post756396
To make a "step" in sheet metal and with the other plier punch it for welding them together.
yeah , I once saw in the TV how they make the promo pictures ...quite interesting ...

yup ah good to know !!!!! So 2008 it was discontinued ! So hurry up peeps if you want one !!!!!
@blue dog:
nice Bosch tools !!!!!!!!!!
A store had these Wiha bits on clearance sale here (replaced now by "Wolfcraft") so i picked up some packages ( 1.- to 2.- ea. , Bit holder 5.-).
I don´t know if i need these though !?!?!?
There was once the question in this thread or another regarding the origin of this Wiha bit holder since the tool itself don´t say anything:
Bits
"unfortunately" 30 minutes before i went to the Wiha dealer i bought some Wera bits...
....but finally my small bit set for the bit ratchet is ready ! (ok slotted bits are still missing
)

Good choice. I believe that Wiha make the best screwdriver bits. I've had a little set of their Torx bits and after 4 or 5 years they still look like new. They bit better than anything else i have tried and they didn't even cost a lot. I also have a DeWalt branded set which i think is Wera? They're also good, but the finish has some surface corrosion or discolouration.

Ah yes that was me who asked about that.
I ended up returning mine since theres quite a few pics on the internet of one that says Made in Germany. Anyways do you have any suggestions of a EU(preferably Swiss) made one?

Wow! Nice Wiha score... awesome to walk into a store and see stuff like that on "clearance"... you should get the rest of them and pedal the packs on GJ

PB Swiss maybe?

I think Dewalt once (?) (still???) (some of them???) use/used Wiha bits. I think i can remember that they had "torsion" bits which looks like this Wiha one which is a patented design:
EDIT:
here it is: Look at the package, clearly Wiha, bits too, and "Made in Germany"
(The Dewalt "bulk-bits" and regular bits are imported i think??)
ahhh yes i think i can remember now....the large Wiha bit set... !!!
Returned because that´s missing ?? Anyway the Wera is better, the bits don´t have to be locked, they lock automatically ("Rapidaptor")
From Switzerland i only know PB Swiss. I don´t know if their locks automatically ?
@Monte:

i think with the Amazon "70% off" sale prices that won´t pay off to ship them to the US
The funny thing is i use my cordless drill maybe once a month
And not always with screwdriver bits (but with a drill bit or countersink tool)....So i think these bits should last the rest of my life

@ Monte The handle for the Wiha set was also defective. Also where can I get those 2 items you just got?
Bolster

These I LIKE! Can you tell me, do you turn the ratchet select collar the same direction as you want the nut to turn, as on a Snap On ratcheting drivers? Or is it reversed, as on the GearWrench ratcheting driver?
Maybe that's obvious from the LR markings if L = left and R = right...in which case, it's reversed like the GearWrench.
If it's like the SnapOn, (turn it the direction you want it to go) then I'm hell-bent to get myself one of those.

re: bits. Have the Wiha and the PB Swiss and some German-made Hilti, but I've never found any to be the quality of the US-made Apex.
ah ok ! handle mold defect ?
Rohrlux + Vikan ??? For Rohrlux click here and scroll down. Vikan click here (US master distributor)
aha !!! So Itma was produced by Belzer in license and in Brazil !!??! Interesting connection !
I think it´s like the Gearwrench one.... I don´t know when the new Wera drivers will hit the stores but i will try one out when they arrive !
Try Wera, Felo, Witte, USH and Wekador
some abrasives i picked up:
100mm "Osborn" wire wheel (made in germany), 125mm polishing flap disc from "Dronco" (Made in germany), 115mm cleaning disc from "Norton" (Made in EU), 75mm flap disc from "Norton" (Made in E.C.)
and a air regulator for my paint gun from EWO www.ewo-stuttgart.de

@ Monte:
Wow! those are some nice flapper/wire wheels! the Osborn looks nasty!
- Kinda off topic:
Anybody have experience w/ the Stahlwille pear-head ratchets? I'm in the market for a new 3/8" and am debating between waiting for the NEW Hazet finetooth, a Stahl, Gedore, or going w/ the long handle Wright... price wise, the Wright is cheap and does what I want, but would like some input on the Stahl's or Gedores.

I seen some questionable screwdriers yesterday. They were labeled "Panzer Germany" on the handles the package was red, yellow and, black with german writing on it and no sign of a COO other than the handles saying Germany on them. It was $4 for 8 or 10 new screwdrivers and they seemed crudely made.

Nice Sata paint gun! I've never done paint in my life but now i want a paint gun!
Monte, do you know somewhere online that sells Stahlwille? I want to find some prices on Stahlwille tools but am not having much luck finding a good seller. Need more German tools!
Painting is fun ! I would look into "Spot repair", i think you could earn a few bucks....
Here a online shop from germany http://werkzeuggigant.com/
They have the complete Wille program (at least it seems so). Minimum order is 50.-€ though

You're not wrong!
I wonder why it didn't come up when i searched..
(Operator failure, most likely..)
They sell them at eBay, too.
And other strange screwdrivers at eBay:
Sora look-a-like
Felo look-a-like
No idea about this one...
Saw some cheap copies from this one, too. Didn't know they were from Witte :O.
i know !

Yep thats them.
so did you buy a set ???
Added a 12x13 mm "SW-Stahl" open end wrench to the 12x13mm open end wrench collection
Visited the store again where i bought the Wiha bits on sale. They replaced them with Witte. Picked up 1 set
Bought this 1/4" sq. dr. T-handle from "Lux". Looks almost like Felo. Available in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". (But not from Felo)

@ Monte No the quality is too low. I am looking to get some screwdrivers but they will probably be PB Swiss or Garant.
I have heard that Garant sockets are made by Stahlwille. Is this true? What about their screwdrivers?
Better choice !!!!
Yes the sockets are made by Stahlwille (except the "surface drive" sockets i think). Knurling is missing though. Screwdrivers are from PB Swiss Tools
(sorry don´t have a regular "swiss grip" screwdriver yet)

Don't rule out the Felo Ergonomics yellow/black drivers... cheaper than alot of competition. They all have hex shanks, bolsters and decent grip. The tips are no-thrills but do the job.
I have been very happy w/ mine over the last 6months or so. Bondhaus is/was (don't know) giving away a free #2 phillips w/ a twinpack of sae/metric hex... if you need some hex keys, pick-em up and get the free driver and see if you like the handle - that's how I found the felos by accident.

They came off eBay here, one seller has a few of these sets. They don't get bids and the seller has a lot of auctions, i got these for the starting price:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stahlwille-3p...t=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item255dda8ed3
I really like Elora, Stahlwille and Hazet. They're the main German brands i look at buying tools from.
Esgen is another German brand i want more from, they make excellent tools.
