Where are those Alycotools made?
Got my Kress battery packs back. After cycling and testing they both show 2.3Ah(sold as 3.0Ah) capacity. Good condition, no cells shorted, just a loss of capacity due to several years of storage. I wonder what _real_ capacity have new battery packs from major manufacturers. Unfortunately I don't have any for testing.
China and taiwan, i think.

@Lukas : Thank you for the report. I've read somewhere that some Chinese made cordless drills sold as 18V are after checking, less powerfull.
@Bhae : Nice tools. I like the German/Swiss made HILTI Grinder/box. I also like the Piher clamp, they're strong and there are plenty over here in France.

i ony have one M-Tec driver but it´s a great driver i think, much better than magnetized tips !
by the way: are the Dolex vises cast or forged steel ?
The front part/jaw is forged when i understand it right and the "housing" (/rear jaw) is cast ?
And the Sambre et Meuse vises ? Completely cast ?
No worries ! Luckily HIPA Tools from Canada will offer more "tools from the old world" soon, hammers from Halder + HKR, steel stamps from Heidenpeter, wad punches and tools from Athlet.
yeah !!! Ridiculous !!!
The Husky version is gross too !! I first thought the first pic is a photoshop !

I wonder who uses these monsters.... Children ??? So they can´t swallow them ???
The poor metal transformed into these things......
yeah i guess made by Hi-Five ?
Nice !!!!!!! I like the Hilti grinder and the Piher clamp looks cool too !!!
I think new battery packs only are for example 3 AH when they are brand new and after charging/discharging they have less AH. Panasonic already uses the new AH rating so their batteries are now rated 3.1 AH instead of 3.3 Ah and 1.5 AH instead of 1.65 AH.

I am going to replace my well-worn 3/8” and 1/2”drive sockets and am trying to decide between Stahlwille and Hazet. Stahlwille is easier to get in the USA but are a little higher in price. Following this thread it seems more people like Hazet. My only experience with Hazet is the magnetic spark plug sockets I purchased back in the eighties from the Snap on dealer which are solidly built but not overwhelming. Opinions are appreciated. I was looking at getting this set (HAZET 900/14H 6-POINT SOCKET SET ) from Chads but with the long wait time. I have not had any problems with Chads that some report.
Yes, I have read on polish electronic forum, guy had cheap 18V cordless, and by curiosity he measured voltage of charged pack. It showed 14-something volts, so he asked what could be wrong. They told him to open battery and measure individual cells, but when he opened there were 10 Ni-Cd cells instead of 15.

Japan is excellent. Was c rap in the 60's
Taiwan is not far behind. was c rap in the 70's
China still has a LONG way to go (ie consistency- there are occasionally some high quality products around but hey I'll wait..)... so is c rap in the naughty-tens
Personally, If I am looking for a "cheap" tool to fit an immediate need, I am overjoyed to read "Made in Taiwan" as it has immediately reached the status of a tool that I will use again......and I am already thrilled to buy Japanese tools , don't think twice about Taiwan. Forget India ....

Just caught up on this thread, after a while of other stuff taking time...
I needed a go through ratchet set, and since i'm satisfied with my Bahco S-series set, i went for the S140T.
Taiwan made, same matte finnish on the sockets as the other S-series.
The ratchet itself is different from my other S-series. The direction switch and angle setting works good though. No slop after having set an angle. Sockets are held in place by a "spring" type thing in the ratchet. A similar holder sits in the extension. Not perfect, would prefer some type of quick release. Also would have preferred sockets to be 6 och 12 point and not the spline drive type. But fit seems ok at least. The case is good, latches are better than on most cheap kits. The "go-through" hole is good also. As big as it could be with the 19mm ratchet size.
Oh, and we can't have a post without something europe made:

The dolex vise is cast forged folded and welded, no one is jealous in our union governed society.
Both jaws on the Sambre et Meuse are cast.
folded ?
@johnnybentwrench
Nice wrenches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@treasureseeker
a matter of taste....
there were 10 Ni-Cd cells instead of 15.
LOL
@TjoFrasse
nice ratchet set !!
ps: Did you already see the new regular Bahco combination wrenches (etc.) in the new design ? Satin finish too and different forging.
ps:
i was just informed
that there is a Elora screwdriver set on Ebay.COM for only $ 25.-http://cgi.ebay.com/Elora-6-pc-Germ...ltDomain_0&hash=item3362bb8e23#ht_1014wt_1139

actually very good !!!! Better than many germans
Thank you Monte
19.- sounds good !!! 27.- not
But, how can I know Knipex list price?
Haven't got any catalog with prices, do you know where can I download the price list?
I heard they´re good
They look awesome, but a bit expensive; the cheapest I've seen is around 20€ (plus 9-11€ for shipping), or 26€ in Amazon.de; if I get them, it will be in Amazon, because I have to purchase some more things from them.
nice Bosch drill !
Thanks, I think the same, although haven't used it much, yet.
A Canon EOS400D... with a macro lens (borrowed from my brother)
yeah the Wera bit holder with "Ringmagnet" is nice ! Maybe the "Weihnachtsmann" brings me one ! (If the chimney is not clogged
I think it may be a good Christmas present, but not only this, hope you get something more

I agree with Monte. Stahlwille and Hazet both make excellent tools and is purely a matter of taste. I am very happy with tools from each manufacturer. I would avoid Chadstoolbox (nothing but problems when buying Hazet). I would go with Samstag or the Motoring Shop.

I have a printed Knipex price list with prices, the PDF catalog on the Knipex site doesn´t contain prices. The best is to ask you local dealer if he can give you a catalog or order one for you.... Or contact Knipex http://www.knipex.es/index.php?id=25&L=4&staat=56&change= maybe they can send you one. Or use Amazon.de or Ebay.de for the price check. 20€ for the Knipex VDE pliers sounds ok, but shipping *****
Unfortunately my brother has a even shittier camera than i have so borrowing don´t make sense in my case
btw: the Bosch blue percussion drills are from switzerland (some, not all)
@Automatique:
heeyyyyy nice !!!! Your first pics here !!!!
btw: "Go through" socket sets... Proxxon offers 2 nice sets in 1/4" and 1/2"
from 5,5 to 14mm and 13 - 27mm
Hazet once had a set too (# 536/15)

Monte:
I like the two tone on the Hazet with seeing both sockets. I have a Browning HI Power done in hard chrome like that. The flats are polished as welll as the front of the trigger.
Hazet:
I haven't purchased from Chads in like five years. I use to sell on eBay ending on Sunday then order with Papal from Chads on Monday and had the item on Saturday or sooner. I don’t know what changed. They would change the price on their items if I found it cheaper elsewhere and were very helpful.

Don´t you have the Wisent set ?
i dunno ? The ratchet looks like the regular "Komposit" ratchet and the text in the catalog say "DBGM, EP" so it seems they have a patent in germany and EU for this ? Never saw them live though, if you see it somewhere take a look if the sockets say "Germany" somewhere...
nice stuff !!!!!!!!!! The Gedore 4mm bit set is cool !!! Do want too
but after a while of using Hazet sockets both sockets look almost the same

That same Gedore 471 bit ratchet is the one I'm waiting this week to arrive (two of them), but only the ratchet, not the bits (I already have some 4mm bits).
epiphany, what's your opinion for the ratchet, do you know how many teeth has it got?
Thanks.

Thanks Monte, I'll contact them in new year, perhaps they'll have a new catalog and new price list.
I like tools very much, but one of my strongest "passions" is photography, so I can say I have more money invested on photography apparel than in tools.
By the way, my 10.8V cordless drill... from Bosch again.
And some chinese bits.
@Bhae:
nice Stahlwille tools !!!!! I wish i would be a tool dealer too
@Servito:
You also could contact Bhae and ask about prices
(Sorry Bhae didn´t know that you sell Knipex )

and nice pictures ! The pic with the spinning/turning chuck is cool !!!!

For the spinning chuck, I used a tripod and my brother's steady hand; I also think it is cool
Yes Monte, I know this new one cordless drill for about a couple of weeks, but it wasn't on the market when I purchased mine (last summer). But if I hadn't purchased mine, I would surely go for that: http://www.amazon.de/Bosch-0601868100-8-2-Li-Li-Ion-Bohrschrauber/dp/B002L431QS/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IKS6G4VWY0WFB&colid=3EZIM3GV9GKXO

Siberia, wow, welcome, can you post any pictures of Russian made tools? I do not recall ever seeing tools from Russia. Are there any quality russian tool manufacturers? Hand tools, mechanics, construction type stuff.
How did you come about finding the Garagejournal?

With the end of the USSR, creation of the good tool has been stopped. I know a few Russian manufacturers, but I don't know about how good they are. In all cases quality level of our "brands" is higher than chinese, but it is not comparable with known brands, and also is more expensive at cost than chinese. That's why shops here is filled with "chinermany" production.
Maybe i miss something, but i did'n aware about hi-quality russian hand tools. However later I will make a photos for you.
And here not bad power tolls from Russia named Interskol. *click*

If you're going to make an electric demolition hammer for ripping through concrete , limestone , cement etc it should at least have a heavy duty cable that is more resistant to breakage , scratches , cuts etc than say a toaster cable that sits in the one place all day.
Welcome! Have you found any of these wonderful Russian made tools used in the aerospace industry (circa USSR days)? I read (possibly on this thread) about tools being manufactured out of exotic materials from time to time.
