Nice "Jörg" chisel

In the year I went to school Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space, so go figure.

Wow

[SMKS]

I just picked this up on ebay for a whopping $10.50 shipped. It arrived today. Brand new, as advertised.

Made in Taiwan, but they are a line of pliers made by NWS (Germany), and have a line of tools boxes made in Switzerland by Lista. http://www.lista.com

 

[american lockpicker]

I thought Lista no longer makes boxes in CH?

Monte, i tried to do a search about "Jörg" but with no success. Is this firma still alive ?

Couldn´t find anything either....
the only thing i found is that Jorg once seemed to supply the Porsche 356 tool kits with screwdrivers.

At a local hardware-shop

never heard of that brand thats why i was asking

What a mean of 12000V?
a model no or

i guess yes - or 12.000 Volt

Nice "Jörg" chisel

Look up Led Lenser X21 or WiseLED.

 

[ultgar]

New toys for R410a and R22...separate analyzers and hoses for each refrigerant to prevent cross contamination. Not the best but good enough for me to get some readings and call someone smarter than me to come fix my AC units.

 

[williaty]

Hell, I wish I knew how to use testers like that, let alone owned them

 

[Jure]

My girlfriend gave me vintage "Tang" screwdriver,it was made in Yugoslavia,its made in 60's and its in pretty good condition.

Tang Logo with "Made in Yugoslavia"

also there's "Chr Van" logo on the metal part,but cant take a pic with phone...

Thanks for the hints. First I thought the spline sockets may complete my socket collection and combined with the the go-through feature it might be even better. But now I will consider the Proxxon set. The Hazet would be perfect of course but it's to expensive and rare to get. Also the Armstrong Eliminator 1/2" set does not seem to be available anywhere, neither as NOS nor used.

Do you have a pic like that below of your Bahco sockets ?

Well, after a quick test in the garage it seems that i have to accept that it's mostly in my head... The fit of the spline drive sockets don't seem to be worse than the regular 6-point. Then there is pressure points and all that to take into account also.

(BILTEMA 6-point 3/8", Bacho 6-point 1/2", Bacho spline 19mm hollow)

A 22mm socket test. After the photo i took one of the nuts and tried it with a feeler gauge in the sockets. In the spline i got 0.50mm gap as most, and the same in the Bahco 6-point. The BILTEMA 6-point surprised though with only 0.25mm. Perhaps not the best indicator of quality of a socket, but still interesting.

(Kwb 6-point 1/4", BILTEMA 6-point 3/8", Bahco 6-point 1/2", Bahco spline 19mm hollow)

Took a picture of the 13mm sockets also. Here i didn't test with a feeler gauge but the BILTEMA and Bahco 6-point seems to have the best fit. The fit of the spline drive seemed worse here.

@Jure, very interesting driver. Never heard before about "Tang". What do you know about this brand ? In which republic it was made ?

Looks like the Bahco S140T isn't that bad. Might be my choice if I can't find one of those fancy Armstrong Eliminators or a Hazet at a reasonable price within the next weeks. Always wanted to have the Spline thing to get my socket collection completed.

Do you know any tool companies from eastern europe besides "Tang" and Unior ?

@Jure, very interesting driver. Never heard before about "Tang". What do you know about this brand ? In which republic it was made ?

this one is made in 60's they were made in Yugoslavia (since we were yugoslavia then) but actually they are made in Croatia, TANG mean "Tvornica alata Nova Gradiška" also the factory was destroyed during the war,and as far as i know they came back in 1999 they were a small factory even back in 70's and earlier,but now they are zero lol,also before their production was mostly based on tools now they are based on flanges,gears,cardan joins,hubs etc etc... also here you can see their site and its pretty poor

http://www.tang.hr/

also this screwdriver was NOS (New old stock),my girlfriends grandpa stole 5-6 screvdrivers on his job back in 80's... and he never used em. Also they are coming in yellow color and i will get a yellow one and they are all in the same size (as far as i know) and they are all flathead.

 

[Jure]

nope,but i will try to find out so i will let you know when i get some info.

 

[AutomatiquE]

Thank you Jure for THANG informations, that's good to know
Even if they're a small factory , i'm happy to know that someone overthere still work for industry and not only for "turizam"

 

[Jure]

found another sdriver made by TANG but the head is pretty bad...

@Jure: I have one 14/15cm Tang Yugoslavia open-end spanner in my car toolbox, and that thing is indestructible....

@Bhae: Seems like Tona Expert sells these ratchet screwdrivers under their brand:

and Bahco too:

 

[dykmore]
