Tools from the old world
- Thread starter Monte
- Start date
ps: ...look at your signature.....
seriously you need at least one regular 13mm combination wrench and one ratcheting
Yeah, but it doesn't say duplicates are okay though. But in your case, they are... because I'm not buying them
And I have my one Metric combo wrench set and that's all I need. The ratcheting ones are really expensive!
I just bought some "45 10 170" retaining ring pliers from Knipex. I know I won't use them really, but they looked cool so I got them.. is that bad?

There were some sales in Baumax, so I took this 250mm adjustable wrench for 5Eur. Signed Merox, but sold under O.K.Line brand name. That thing tells me it's heavy duty, and I hope so
And I found these things in my drawer
please correct me if I am wrong - I believe they are "Tools from the old world" too...?

I prefer more modern tools.
I just happened to have these pictures handy as DE razors came up today as a topic on a gun forum I'm on. The Merkur is ok but doesn't come close to any ancient US made Gillette I used to have. Also the German made Wilkinson Sword blades aren't as good as the new old stock English made ones I have now or the US made with Swedish steel blades I first started with. That said the Braun outperforms a Philips Norelco Arcitec I had a few years back.

Bearcats, Mooses, etc. are all fair game. I like em hairy... errrrr.. nevermind.
Not sure where I was going with that. Alrighty then. to get away from that mess, here's a picture of all my Knipex stuff so far.. go easy on me, I'm barely old enough to buy a pack of Lucky Strikes... oh, and don't mind the ULTRA LUBE stick right below them... haha.

I promise I won't be.as long as you're not going near me...
nice Knipex pliers, gotta find the same black ones, might be useful...
they do look like the chrome plated one that Olafur was looking for a few pages back...
Hmm. Maybe I'll get into contact with him.
And which black ones were you talking about?

the black-black ones, not the black & red ones
the black circlipity-ones if you do prefer...r
or so i think they do seem to appear to my eyes and brain on this screen...
he might be very pleased, in a Nordic sense, if you can provide him with the model number.

Yep yep, externally circlipity pliers those would be! 45 10 170 I think. Hell, I don't need them.. but they're cool as all heck!
I sent him a message, hope he gets it.
I think I should just buy one of everything that Knipex makes... maybe THEN i can be happy.

then you'll discover NWS, Orbis and Will pliers
and Felco cutting pliers, Wiha Inomics and all the nice Japanese ones: Keiba, KTC, Top, Hozan, Engineer, Marvel etc.
hope you got a couple of big boxes: you're doomed!
that 45 10 170 is too tempting... damn you Monte! it's all your fault!

I don't have anything Japanese other than calipers and brass punches... time to expand that?
that 45 10 170 is too tempting... damn you Monte! it's all your fault!
The price just about killed me when I saw it, but they're just soooo cool. You'll get some eventually
I also want some of their nippers, and a wire stripper maybe, and a few of the precision ESD pliers... but that's all, I swear.
I noticed Gedore on an old open 12/13 yesterday and was so excited to have my first Gedore (ok I have probably had it a very long time, I found it in my collection) until I saw that it was Made in India
And how does it perform ?
Yeah, but it doesn't say duplicates are okay though. But in your case, they are... because I'm not buying them
i once collected stamps , now 13mm combos..."Gearwrench" prices are ok i think (?)
that´s good !
one day you´ll need them, and then you have the best These ones
nice Matador line wrenches !
yes !
sorry i don´t know
if you have some laying around
then yes I have Britool and King **** ones for you.
finally some British ones need more 13mm combos..
.. don´t have enough.......too many 13mm screws ..... poor Monte... he's gonna be postally drowned in 13mm combination wrenches & spanners from all over the World!
hopefully
good idea

Monte, is that Hazet 15mm so tight that it fits nicely over 13mm bolts?
I would pay $150 for this set without hesitation if I found it at local hardware store. Even more.
It is easy to find perfectly useful spanners and sockets today at low price, but I have yet to find cheap circlip pliers that last. When it comes to strength it is hard to beat Hazet. Nice find!
Thanks!
RM 80 = $ 26.50
Talking about circlip pliers, I can recommend BETA.
Paitent, ZF16S151 - MAN truck 16 speed gearbox:
My new Padre (made in Germany
Nice big Beta for a big truck
Thanks, I did not know Shell was quality brand in Japan. This price is way to low for quality so these cable cutters make a nice addition to my Chinese tool collection. As such perhaps they are "tools from the older world"
And yes, Sandvik is (was?) excellent maker of quality tools. The files are incredible good.
Yeahh! Shell is my favorite cable cutters
Yeah very nice collectuion huh ?
I don´t plan to use chinese wrenches
Thanks again to cosmik binturong !
wow very nice Hazet pliers !!!! nice !!! Congratulation !!!
price was very very good too
Wurth spot weld drill bit from the flea market for 3 bucks:
Thanks bro
Awesome bit for 3 bucks
@mrtools : ~ Eur 19.00 for 8 oldschool Hazet circlip pliers ??? Time for me to seriously think about moving to Malaysia
ps : Do you have a better photo of the plier's heads ?
Actually a price write with marker pen so 10 years a number was disappear, A sales girl cannot guess a actual price..plus she haved to clear old stock item
tomorrow I try to take some pics of a pliers heads
Nice Swiss made
Wow! very nice all in one tools from Wera, haved u test it, can u give ur opinion?
Awesome I like a blasted tips
A preliminary result of my 13mm combination wrench collection
Congratulation!! Awesome master Monte
First time I see a large collection of a wrenches
are u tools crazy??
Btw:Thanks a lot to share your unbeatable wrenches collections
First update about using 7mm Wera "flex" nut spinner for auto- hose clamps. Quite nice but not as strong as I had hoped. The flex leg takes on S-shape under torque - too low torque for my taste. Wont last many old rusted clamps - too soft.
---
Any idea who makes these:
I want more of them - - and some pin punches from same manufacturer, and some chisels too!
I think I found a close relative, not sure but it was on sale 50% off at local hardware store. $4,5 still. Well it has "made in germany" forged into it so how bad can it be?
Finally, one for Monte.
Currently my only Stahlwille spanner.

Nice Bahco, if they made more stuff in Stockholm I would get more of their products...
Agreed, one of my favorite spanners.

Posted in this in another thread, but thought I'd try here:
anyone make a tool like this:
It's got replaceable plastic/urethane jaws.
Also, I know Knipex makes a cutter for air or fuel hose (looks like a cigar cutter -- and it makes clean cuts for hose), but it's pretty expensive even discounted on-line. Anyone other German firms make one comparable?
Here's a link to one though this model is a few years old. The newer ones are a bit different, from what I've seen.

In 2007 I bought a Hazet 5122-1 torque wrench. It's the budget version of the regular 1/2" type, which is limited to a +/- 10 Nm scale. That time it met my requirements, but today I would not buy it again, since I would prefer something more precise.
Anyway, I will live with this limitation, but what I did observe right from the beginning is the fact that it skips a tooth from time to time under heavy (but within spec) torquing. Today I opened the gear to see what's wrong and found something interesting. Obviously the gear is missing some teeth in a certain are. Thus in some positions only one lever can engage I don't think that's the reason why it skips a tooth from time to time (it's really only one not 10), but I'm questioning the design regarding its robustness. Especially because I think this design is used also in the CT version (fine scale type) of this wrench.
Well, I lubed it with some Molycote and am hoping that the skipping is gone, but still leaving me
Has anyone seen a similar design before?

already threaded about here.
got a few of the Bluepoint ones from a girl working in a french navy maintenance facility along with some Snap-On goodies that i use for delicate Al or C parts on bikes like external BB cups, they're good and don't leave marks but those ips are really in another league...

Some manufacturers say the flexible tools are only good for 5 to 12 newtonmeters (depends on manufacturer) and clockwise use.
Any idea who makes these:

i dunno...maybe Tirem or WBC ? www.tirem.de www.wbc-online.de
Tirem:
http://www.ceder.de/cms/projektpadre/media/pdf/WG11.pdf
not that bad
I´m pretty sure the black/yellow one is "Benscheidt" brand

ahhh the missing Stahlwille wrench for my collection
Nice 13mm collection Monte!
I did some digging and found several 14mm spanners, one I borrowed from a garage neighbor (stahlwille). Yes I cheat!
.. Perhaps I should start collecting?
that already count as a collection
btw: nice 14mm collection Olafur
http://www.knipex.com/index.php?id=1216&L=1&page=group_detail&parentID=1368&groupID=1493
Knipex 8113230
I think the new Knipex ones are just red instead of black
This or similar versions appear here and there from KS-Tools for example or Bahco
from Japan:

these from Spain might work too:

Hello,
My name is Cliceu, I live in Brazil, I am an electronics technician and work in telecommunication area.
I found this forum during my search to buy new tools, many inspired this post. I will show my new tools in the sequence.
Thank you Monte for creating this topic, some answers for you.
Pictures of some places where I work.
Gedore Brazil.
Close to Monte.
Brazil stamped on almost everything produced here.
Our professional line Bosch are blue:
Made in Brazil, high quality, works for hours without stopping, and most importantly does not fail
@Cliceu,
Nice tools, I see more and more "Made in Brazil" tools in USA, brands like Irwin, Nicholson. One day I'll pay this beautiful country a visit.
