Tools from the old world

[cosmik binturong]

Cosmik, I think you have done an edit to every single one of your posts lol.

you know what they say:

editing is a rewording activity!

I have no stubbies made in Europe

thx for the link btw

too bad, order some old Facom sweetness while you're at it!

 

[cosmik binturong]

pretty proud of these

and rightly so! they're beautiful...

 

[Monte]

@Monte: I don't know yet but I think it will be handy soon, because in three weeks I am going to repair my new flat generally.. Then I will tell you, I promise

take some pics of the tools you are using !

Nahh, everyone carry a weapon in his/her car, but they are peaceful and nobody wants to be involved in a drive-by shooting

i thought drive-by shooting is their hobby

Woooooow, you must be quite a good long distance swimmer, will I be able to see you at the Swimming World Championship this month?

yes ! i practice every day in my private swimmingpool

@american lockpicker:
found 3 videos of your favourite power tool manufacturer Kress

no, mostly japanese ones!
(along with all the old british, french, german, italian, chinese and whatever i might encounter in a day of work)
but(as if you didn't know)! there's a better fit with the parallel tip.

then you need JIS drivers
...when the screw is new...yes...when the slot is worn it looks more like a "V" ....like the regular screwdriver tips...as if you didn't know

oh! yes! i forgot, i do work on swiss screws too! albeit more slooooowly....

don´t fall asleep while working !!!

yes, unless you're in a tourist group backed-up by a few Panzer divisions or are coming to replace said Germanic tourists a few years later!

no seriously
i read that the french radio must play french songs and next to english words there must be the french word too... ?

gettin' snarky, eh?

naw

better, think about finding me one right around the corner!

ok i´ll try
Stahlwille servante d'atélier ? right ?

waffle iron pliers ?

sorry, i misled you while watching Teletubbies reruns(don't do this at home kids! );

spongebob is cooler

tool content: let's have a stubby fest! show us your stubbies, brand new ones, oldies, whatever!

ok

 

[Trucky]

Is Wiha OEM for Wisent or other way around?

And really, you have too many of those.. you should send me that Hazet, it's beautiful!

 

[servito]

got the same thing in Picasa and it works fine too!

Thanks, that's good to know

hey! put your glasses on again please! or do you want a cookie too?

no, they're not "good", not even "sub-good", they're real crappy and being shot with a **** phone it's a miracle they're not turning worse!

should try to shoot some tools with film and real lighting one day. one day...

Was trying to cheer you up man

It would be like this.

BTW did anyone notice you can buy tools at a tool store in GTA Vice City...

American, that was hilarious

Yes, but why buying tools when they come to you, in the beggining of the game (more or less), when you have to make a jury change his mind, somebody runs over a worker and it leaves his hammer on the street, for you to pick it up. "A bunch of tools" is the name of the tool shop, isn't it?

What a great game!!!!

no, what are all those things?

Those are machines that some sail and the other fly

sorry, i misled you while watching Teletubbies reruns(don't do this at home kids! ); you're right it's not an island, it's a whole continent! like China but with more water and sharks around and more kangaroos too!

And many dangerous... snakes, spiders, jellyfish... and so on.
Btw, I'm so lucky not having seen Teletubbies ever (and hope to continue that way).

Wiha is the OEM. Wisent is like Craftsman, a store brand (of Bauhaus www.bauhaus.info)

i would send you the Hazet but i only have 2 PH1 subbies so in case one break i need the other as a spare...

Don't listen to him Monte, send it to me!

no

you´re a Wright fan anyway

 

[cosmik binturong]

...when the screw is new...yes...when the slot is worn it looks more like a "V" ....like the regular screwdriver tips...as if you didn't know

some of them(brass mostly) even look like an "X" after a while but i tend to try to not "screw" my screw heads like that if possible...

don´t fall asleep while working !!!

difficult when stuffed with swiss chocolate and working at the same time on swiss screws

no seriously
i read that the french radio must play french songs and next to english words there must be the french word too... ?

that was last century...
but it's true radios and musical tv stations have a quota of french musical content to meet...
as for the translation of foreign languages in french, it's true for advertising(print and tv) but i haven't seen it anywhere else...
in all, much hot air from politicos and nothing to make a pecari sweat about for most people!

ok i´ll try
Stahlwille servante d'atelier ? right ?

right, mostly...

Doesn't it say Germany right on them?

Oh well. Least they were on the cheap!

what's all this DIN nonsense about?

 

[Olafur]

Yes I cant be bothered to much about COO for them since I already had a few and they have done well. I intend to use them for travel kit and some of them will probably walk away. Price was just right.

DIN is ~ German Institute for Standardization and I presume 3113 is the standard for metric combination spanners.

Not old world but I've seen other Cman in here before.

I have no stubbies made in Europe

Yea me too. But I have some Japanese ones on my wish list...

@american lockpicker:
found 3 videos of your favourite power tool manufacturer Kress

Is Kress selling in USA yet?

American, that was hilarious

Yes, but why buying tools when they come to you, in the beggining of the game (more or less), when you have to make a jury change his mind, somebody runs over a worker and it leaves his hammer on the street, for you to pick it up. "A bunch of tools" is the name of the tool shop, isn't it?

What a great game!!!!

Oh yes I forgot about that. I just remembered going in the mall and buying a screwdriver(although a free katana was in the cafe...) Anyways I only play GTA 3 and the Old World GTA(London 1969) now...

 

[mrtools]

@mrtools :

my old Hazet 900 box(the one that replaced some shiny Facom stuff) that gets to do all the bad, grimy stuff:

Awesome Eropean + Asian tools

Where Insulated 12mm wrench comes from do u used it what a brand?

The following pictures show what I've been up to since......

Awesome tools

seeing that big Hazet 600N 32mm :
it's my go to wrench for misbehavin' old bikes!

Only stubbies I have, the Weras:

Good price for a 12 piece set! What size range?

 

[Monte]

brass screws on bicycles ?? from 1898 ?

difficult when stuffed with swiss chocolate and working at the same time on swiss screws

that was last century...
but it's true radios and musical tv stations have a quota of french musical content to meet...
as for the translation of foreign languages in french, it's true for advertising(print and tv) but i haven't seen it anywhere else...

@cosmic:

[cosmik binturong]

Esso pliers!

[servito]

Yes, but they can only harm humans

Oh yes I forgot about that. I just remembered going in the mall and buying a screwdriver(although a free katana was in the cafe...) Anyways I only play GTA 3 and the Old World GTA(London 1969) now...

I remember clearly where this cafe and katana are, so nice to chop heads off ; I have spent so many hours with GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, and for sure that will play them again, specially GTA 3.

 

[kissmeimgerman]

@Cosmik


The carrout looks alot like kobalt...

 

[servito]

sorry i only had english + spanish in school

Yeah, you made the right choice (or somebody did it for you)

in Grand Theft Auto every day

That's ok, I've got a girlfriend in San Andreas that always wants to do drive-by shooting

yes !! Direct from the german olympic team !!

I think you will go far on swimming with those trainers

ps: nice Wisent pic !!!

Thanks. Have quite a few more pics of tools but have to remember where did I put them.

 

[cosmik binturong]

@Cosmik

The carrout looks alot like kobalt...

sure might... Gillet Outillage makes them for *everybody* but Caillau is the original customer since it was made for their own "Clic" collars!

there was a time when Gillet sold the pliers direct for 15€ + VAT instead of the 80-95€ you found it in the shops/catalogs... didn't last long with the OEM buyers!

anyway, if the "Kobalt" one is marked "Made in France", it comes from Gillet the unsung hero of the collar pliers!

and BTW, Gillet has only AFAIR, *one* level of quality for it's OEM tools, so the cheapest you find is the same as the more expensive one(albeit, finish might differ: blued, chrome, etc.) ask american lockpicker(if my memory doesn't make me look like, erm... the *** that i am) what he thinks of his Craftsman branded one!

edit: oh, sorry, you were talking about the Carrouf' stubby...
it is a PRC-made parking find sold under the Carrefour hypermarket brand, nothing special.

 

[cosmik binturong]

Awesome Eropean + Asian tools

thank you mrtools, i really appreciate your awesome japanese tools too!

Where Insulated 12mm wrench comes from do u used it what a brand?

it's a Sibille, a french company specializing in heavy duty insulated tools or more exactly,
in insulating heavy duty tools for electrical work since i doubt they have their own forge.
more later, that was only a sneak peek!

looks like oldskool tools I like that

oldskool is the way to go most of the time!


and now one for servito and for mrtools :

hacksaws!

french army one was "kind of lost" by an army truck in the forest: happy me!

and Super-Ego one is, well, spanish


blades are New World though...

that's all folks!

yes, sorry small typo thanks for the info

 

[cosmik binturong]

yes, sorry small typo thanks for the info

no no, it' was not your typo, it was my brain! sorry...

tool content: short comparison between two 24mm combination wrenches Beta 42 and
Stahlwille Open Box 13!

 

[servito]

Thanks for the tip!

I will search for this feature in the software I use. I do not use Photoshop since it does not run (natively) on Linux. Or perhaps ease up on unsharp mask.

If you didn't find it, you could try Picasa, as cosmik binturong said.

Switch over boys!

Perhaps I'll give it a try, but preferably on a virtual machine

@TjoFrasse I keep my fingers crossed for Bauhaus, I think they will open, it is just a matter of time.

It's a matter of time, when things ease off in Iceland and the economy gets better they will sure open the store

@Bart - Impressive and still growing Hazet collection. I sometimes follow auctions for Hazet on ebay.de and droooooooooool.. and curse them for not shipping to Europe, or worldwide.

Have you asked them?
I sometimes ask them in German for shipping to Spain and they usually answer, in English or German.

 

[american lockpicker]

i just imagine german music in radio all day.....ahhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo

sorry i only had english + spanish in school

i prefer to go to a real mall and buy a real screwdriver
i am strange

German music isn't bad.

Kobalt as in whats sold in Lowes??? Remind me what I have again.

hacksaws!

french army one was "kind of lost" by an army truck in the forest: happy me!

OOOOO we need to see more French army stuff. I have a French Army Knife and used to have a MAS-36 and 7.5mm French ammo on strippers...

 

[cosmik binturong]

German music isn't bad.

as long as you're pretty much deaf...

Kobalt as in whats sold in Lowes??? Remind me what I have again.

nah, only that if i remember you bought one of the Gillet-made Craftsman collar pliers with a long flex head from Sears that was the same as the Facom one for much less... or smoething like that!

OOOOO we need to see more French army stuff. I have a French Army Knife and used to have a MAS-36 and 7.5mm French ammo on strippers...

why would you shoot some poor strippers with 7,5x54mm??? not bouncy enough?

anyway, french army stuff is pretty badly made usually(lowest bidder wins! troufions lose ) except the weapons and maintenance equipment... see my test thread with the Snap-On tools that are french navy "surpluses" as in "we replaced all those nice american-made tools that were included in the contract for that weapon system by french ones made by Facom in China and with this we can grease a little bit more the barrel of some of our well healed porcine friends...".

i'll see what i can dig!

 

[lauver]

Euro Gang,

The picture of Super Ego hacksaw caught my eye. It looked very familier. Check out the following photos and see what you think:

The Super Ego...

3M and Lenox models, ca. 1990's...

The frames look 99.9% identical. Only differance is the tension lever/knob. Looks like a case of transatlantic crossbreeding.

I like the name on the Lenox model "HACKMASTER". Now there's a name!

 

[cosmik binturong]

american lockpicker, it was there
