[american lockpicker]

[Theloniousmonk]

Now, THAT bike is cool! Nice pic Monte!

Note on Belzer -

I was browsing the Apex Tool Group website today, saw "Mayle" and was curious, went to the site and saw "Belzer" listed under affiliated brands along w/ Lufkin, Weller, Nicholson and a few other Cooper companies - sooooooooo, it seems Belzer is owned by Apex these days, but I could be wrong.

 

[american lockpicker]

I thought Belzer was owned by Bahco or SNA.

 

[Monte]

That bike is awesome wheres it made?

Sorry I don´t know

Also I see some Abus locks at the bottom. Those where my favourite to open back when I did lockpicking.

hmmm 5 seconds to open ??? not that safe
Luckily most thieves come with a bolt cutter and then it can be more complicated to open that lock



Re: Belzer:
There is a brazilian Belzer owned by Cooper and the former german Belzer owned now by Bahco/Snap-on. I don´t know about the connection of these two companies ?

[Rorschach]

Hello. Sorry to bump & hope i posted wright here.

2 Things.

I found these at my grandparents.
With sockets from 10 to 24 and then 27, 30, 32.The ratchet still works.
Does anyone recognize the symbol ?
It's like a triangle but without the lower side on the sockets and on the ratchet a full triangle with something in it but very vizible.
Doesn't say anything on the them and no box.

And the second thing.
If i may ask , what good/ best brands do you recommand that if i buy them brand new they will last a lot ?

For the past 2 days i've read 125 pg on this topic and will finish it and from what i saw my wish list for now is something like this (no particular order):
German - Hazet , Gedore
Swedish - Bahco
French - Facom
Italian - Beta
Etc


I'm interested in something like this (link) or (link) ....and want to know that the ratchet is of verry good quality.

I want to use them on my first ever car (BMW E34), i like to mend it ...it's a hobby. And i discovered that you also need good tools to do a good job.

Any imput is of great help.

[Bhae]

Thank you very much everyone for the comments on the cabinets Stahlwille.

Today I cleaned one of the cabinets, and have had more things Toptul...

Pics:

100% Made in Germany hahaha

And the wrenche for Monte

 

[bart1]

Love that Stahlwille cabinet, I tell ya!

 

[Krokodil]

Nice crowbar Monte! I love the Rennsteig stuff. Specially the crimping tools. I think the company is owned by Knipex?

 

[dede2897234]

Was over in Ohio today and couldn't leave without buying a tool.

There was a pricing error when I tried to buy it so the cashier gave me a discount. It was $12 plus tax.

Also I visited the John Deere shop(Bosch dealer) and seen a Swiss belt sander I want. They had a few other interesting things like Cooper handsaw thats made in Denmark(might get it next week) and some dodgy Irwin drill bits. The package is marked made in Denmark but the bits are finished different than the ones I have, the markings are different and there wasn't a COO.

american lockpicker,

Which industrial tool suppliers (name, website, and/or address) you visited locally in West Virginia and in Ohio are your favorites for their stock and competitive prices for European made hand and power tools?


Thanks,

Dave

Well I get most of my powertools at Lowes(Parkersburg or Vienna.) Also I shop at Fastenal(Parkersburg or Ravenswood), Granger(Parkersburg) and the Bosch dealer Bridgeport Equipment and Tool (15 Acme street Marietta, OH 45750).

For handtools I mostly buy on line but occasionally I'll find new old stock at any normal hardware store like True Value, Do It Best, Home Depot, Oesterle, etc.

Also theres Woodcraft. They carry a full line of Festool some Proxxon and all kinds of Euro woodworking tools.

http://www.woodcraft.com/

 

[catfish]

Also I got this in the ethnic foods section at Giant Eagle.

.

I am pretty sure that Milka uses milk powder as opposed to real milk in their chocolate.

 

[Monte]

I like that crowbar. Can it be found in North America?

a quick search only showed sites from the UK + Australia etc. but I´m pretty sure Rennsteig USA can help you: www.rennsteig.us

Hello folks;
milka!! ethnic food??? now I have heard it all, I can go sleep naked in the woods without feeling weird for a year!

lol

Concerning the makita bike; I should really buy a tv to watch the news, I didn't notice that germany came back to DM!!

Where´s the DM ? Or do you mean because of the high price ?
(the bicycle comes without charger + batteries )

I am currently piling some facom stuff, I hope to finish my concrete soon so I can get back to taking photographs of my collectors.

yeah pics !

im waiting..

Very nice Makita electric bicylce

very nice !

Hello.

welcome !

I found these at my grandparents.

I don´t know, but it looks european with the "12,5" stamped everywhere ( = 1/2" drive) Could be asian too ? ....

If i may ask , what good/ best brands do you recommand that if i buy them brand new they will last a lot ?
German - Hazet , Gedore
Swedish - Bahco
French - Facom
Italian - Beta
Etc

With the brands you´ve mentioned you can´t go wrong i think. It´s mostly a matter of taste what to get i think.
ps: where are you from ? Italy ?

I'm interested in something like this (link) or (link) ....and want to know that the ratchet is of verry good quality.

The Hazet ratchet yes The Bahco set has a great price though and you get a lot more tools and even wrenches...... mmmmhhh

Nice crowbar Monte! I love the Rennsteig stuff. Specially the crimping tools. I think the company is owned by Knipex?

Yes Rennsteig is a subsidiary of Knipex.

Mora made it and the brand was Cocraft which I assume is a Norwegian brand as it came from Oslo.

U have a nice Swiss Army Knives too

Thank for the info.. very nice stuff bro

 

[Rorschach]

Thankyou Monte !

I'm from Romania.

Yes indeed the Bahco set offers more. For starters i think it will do.
I only need E-Torxs to that bahco set.

Can you recomand a Hazet set witch has E-Torx also ? (I mean something like that hazet 900 set (1/2") + E-Torx)

Thankyou.

PS. Also a fan of Victorinox

 

[Repairman]

A few more additions to my tools. Really pleased with the all of the items, top quality stuff.

Facom/SK stud remover

Beta lamp - nice and bright

Beta torx/hex set

Beta pressure/depressure tester

 

[Repairman]

Quick comparison of my Facom and Beta sockets. The Facom is metric and the Beta is imperial/standard size. Both are very nicely finished and of comparable quality. The Beta has a combination of highly polished and matt surface while the Facom is all polished.

The bit sockets use a different mechanism. The Facom has an internal clip and the Beta has an external one. Both work very well and I don't see any particular advantage to either one.

 

[TjoFrasse]

Mora made it and the brand was Cocraft which I assume is a Norwegian brand as it came from Oslo.

I got quite surprised when i saw your first post. How did you get it? CoCraft is the hand tool brand for the swedish ClasOhlsson (http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Product/Product.aspx?id=157750981) hobby stores. ClasOhlson is a swedish company, founded 1918. They have (usualy Bahco) quality tools, but also their CoCraft brand. Those a mostly cheap ****, but as usual with knifes in sweden they're rebranded Moras, so those are good.

Well a few years back I did a trade with a friend in Oslo, Norway. I sent him a Leatherman PST II and he sent me 4 Mora knives and 2 cans of snus(General and Göteborgs ****.)

 

[north]

Göteborgs ****

Or rather Göteborgs Rapé.

 

[aag14V]

Sorry for my bad English. I'm from the Croatian. I am interested in the quality of this MEROX set. Has anyone experienced with this?

 

[johnnybentwrench]

@ Repairman where can I buy just the Facom bit holder? JBW

 

[bart1]

Got an old Hazet wrench off a member here. Nothing special, but it was cheap and I didn't have one like this.

Give a redneck and old gym mat, some tools, an Assistent and a camera, and look what happens. Not ideal, but will do for now. I'll throw a couple extra pics in there just because.

 

[expatriated]

That trolley is so AWESOME, Bart! What year did they start making the plastic top piece? Or have they always been plastic?

I like how you have your sockets standing up with the mat. I need to do something like that in my 190. Got any pics of yours open and organized?

 

[Monte]

nice !!

Knipex ? NWS ?

SWISS weapon..VICTORINOX SWISSTOOL

nice swiss tools !

Mora made it and the brand was Cocraft which I assume is a Norwegian brand as it came from Oslo.

So the Bahco model is made by Mora too it seems

this Mora chisel-knife looks interesting. Bahco has one too but imported.

Thankyou Monte !

I'm from Romania.

I only need E-Torxs to that bahco set.

PS. Also a fan of Victorinox

I couldn´t find anything from Hazet with regular 6 or 12 point sockets + E-Torx. There is a special Torx set but it doesn´t contain normal sockets:

Thanks, my brother!

I move things around between a few small toolboxes, but here is what I had in it at one point.

Also did some blue foam tomfoolery there later:

Oh, I don't know if I posted here, but did in another thread. Here's a great recent addition to my Assistent:
