Tools from the old world

[madmoder94]

After searching high and low on the internet for someone that would ship to the US, Jens here on GJ came through with some Reilang Precision Oilers. They are very well made, as would be expected of a Swiss made product. I'm still debating on what I am going to fills these with...so if anyone has suggestions please share.

 

[american lockpicker]

Hmm could I use Ballistol in that?

 

[Olafur]

then you might like this one too

Indeed!
Thanks for the pics.

12" long Truecraft 3/8"-drive extension.

I like Truecraft tools. They're usually simple, but high quality, Japanese tools.

 

[jensputzier]

Hmm could I use Ballistol in that?

Yes, definitely you could. They also make these cans with liquid spraying or micro spraying heads.

Also note that it features two pumps, one on the bottom and one on the top that provide extremely high pressure and overhead oiling. The pumps are good for 500.000 actions.

The bottom part rotates 360 degrees to reach the last drop of oil in the can.

Also if you pull up the lever instead of down you dispense one drop of oil only.

The cans usually come with 200, 300 or 500 ml (6.5, 10 and 15.5 fluid ounces) capacity.

maybe Jens has them in stock....

Monte, the PZ1 is still in stock, the PZ2 is gone forever

@unknow82 : Nice Bahco set, that's the good "back to the day" quality
Are all sockets in 12 points ?

Yes they are; I am not sure if Bahco had 6 point sockets in 1960's (some one from Sweden might know better?). Atleast after Bahco bought Belzer, they had 6 point sockets.

Today when you look "Bahco" products, most of them read "Made In Taiwan". Yes, you could find real Bahco products today and these look compleatly diffrent, from ones you usually see.
Old ones are the best.

Had a bit more of a dig around the farm today...few more pics as requested by Mont.

More to come...

 

[unknow82]

When Bahco was independent comppany, they bought all kind of tool comppanys, here is one;

I wen't to this local very old toolshop. The shopkeeper, an old lady, got these in hidden;
Original C.O Öberg files!

(those are Euro prices)

She told me that this set came to their store in early 1960's and these are best files in world (Nice sell speech), but when I ask my father; he told that hes father bougth these Öberg files that he has and old man used to sharpen tools for carpenters in my area and still those files work.
So maybe old lady at toolshop was right...

These are brand new files from 1960's

C.O Öberg was founded in 1850 and was bought by Bahco in 1975 and after this all Bahco files had "smiling moon" -logo on them.
Only drawback these days is that even "smiling moon" files are made in Taiwan today...

Toptul:

Very nice tools and pictures! Thanks for posting! I have both those punch sets and they are

Hi all, I have being reading this thread and found it so interesting that my little contribution would be in order:

My family got this socket set in middle of 1960's as present.

Bahco Stockholm

It has being seriously used, even today and none of socket have not broken not even worn out.

only thing gone is swivel, but constantly looking to find replacement.
I still have little plastick filler parts that used to fill places not having sockets in this set as Bahco used this same mold to sell other sets. Today I fill rest of these with other sockets.
Speed brace is somewhere, just could not find it for this picture.

Nice stuff! I have not seen any Bahco sockets/ratchets that old before. Some more pics please! Kiitos!

TENG 3/8 ( lifetime guarantee ) :

BAHCO 1/2 ( owned by snap-on and have identical socket grooves - Hell they even look like they came from the same factory ) :

Do you like the Teng ratchet? Special style...

It the Bahco the S240 set?

Wow, those are nice! NOS in boxes also, they're priceless!

My newly bought files are not made in Taiwan, they're made in Portugal. Most Bahco sockets/ratches/wrenches today are made in Taiwan though

The Teng ratchet is good for the price I think. Its light, quick release, very comfortable to use and replacement and repair parts are available.
It is easy to take appart and I have stripped it and used my own grease inside it which made it smoother and quiet ratchet action.
Apparently their lifetime guarantee is the no questions asked variety but I have not tested it yet. Strength wise I`m not sure but after seeing the innards it certainly does not look as tough as the best ratchets available.

It is infact the Bahco S240 metric set but I have since changed the ratchet to a Hazet ratchet and most of the sockets are now Stahlwille and Snap-on. ( Its this ****** forum, it is making me want all the top brands LOL )

Ole hyvä, in english; There you go:

Some facts.
Someone told me that 1960's normal construction workers two days salory did not get even a desent construction hammer let alone one these socket sets, that how expencive real tools where those days.

 

[north]

Nice, nice. How many teeth in the ratchet?

 

[unknow82]

And more old stuff.

This 1/2" Bahco 811 torque meter is also from 1960's, please note original plastic box that is very hard plastic that would be instantly broken if you drop it.

I have used this one year ago, but real work it has done with various family cars.
Calibration is done by opening bolt, that holds meter, from saft.
I'll bet not many of these where manufactured and not many would have survived to this day.

I've heard similar things from a locksmith in the UK when talking about buying trade tools long ago. I wonder if it was the opposite here?

 

[unknow82]

Nice, nice. How many teeth in the ratchet?

Even I found it funny when I caculated... 24 theet!

 

[north]

Very cool Bahco 811. Never seen that style before.

 

[unknow82]

I would suspect, Swedish tools where cheaper in Sweden and these tools are got here as gift from Sweden.
Also general salory rate where much better in Sweden in those days.

 

[north]

Ha, I have a King **** ratchet with 16 teeth so I win. Gimme all your Bahco tools!

 

[kissmeimgerman]

Just bought these for work,
Duratool Flush Cutters

Xcelite Re-branded Felo Drivers

 

[Ratchet.]

Here's my latest haul, excluding some Hazet tools a Gedore ratchet and a few other bits I'm waiting for

Nos Knipex pliers, in Draper packaging pre '89 id guess? no writing on the handles as the current ones do, also have w-Germany on them as opposed to just Germany. There is a small amount of surface rust, but curiously when i went to clean it off with wire wool and some wd40 i found that it has some sort of clear lacquer on it, and its under the lacquer i just left it after that.

Bacho 8" adjustable spanner, not sure of the coo sadly, nice all the same

Really nice set of wooden handled Wiha's, were a gift to my father who is more into woodwork, got them off amazon for a good price (£15 ish) really nicely made and well finished, most have through shafts too, though id guess hammering a wooden handle is to be avoided (there also too nice to abuse)

a Record made in Sheffield England vice, to replace the cheap one i broke in the background. Really solid piece, has a little play in the jaw, but i guess that how they all are (not worn, but no adjustment on it), i also got a smaller one which i gave to my dad as well, (i bid on and won two auctions unexpectedly, both were very cheap) no pic of the small one , as its in my dads shed/workshop

metabo air line nozzle, no coo again tho :/ but seem close to the Swedish ones in quality tbh

also got one of these, hardly the most exciting item, but made in the uk
i use them a lot at work (want a digital one, but for now this will do) cost about the same price as any Chinese or Taiwan made one, and its VOSA accredited for mot's (road worthiness test in the uk)

That Bahco comes from Spain.

 

[kissmeimgerman]

beat me to it, it should be Irega OEM

 

[Ratchet.]

A mini shopping spree in Japan....

some nice stuff there, i need more Japanese tools, I have a pair of those engineer neji-saurus screw pliers, very useful, have come in handy at work a few times, on rusted screws, might see if i can get a bigger pair for larger screws where more leverage is needed not sure if you get any though (have noticed a lot of Japanese pliers are smaller then euro or US ones)

Think ill get another set for home too, or similar ones, i'm surprised no european companies have similar type pliers (or the likes of mac and snap on)

Thanks, i need to have a closer look at it, didn't have any packaging when i bought it, and i wasn't sure as i have a Bacho ratcheting screwdriver set which is made in Taiwan (still nicely made all the same ..)

Vessel, Engineer...The tools i've always wanted Do you know how many teeth have the Vessel peta Ratche ?

Some facts.
Someone told me that 1960's normal construction workers two days salory...

Yep, i guess people at that time knew what was quality and kept their hardly earned stuff for a loooong time. Not the cosumption society we have right now

Just bought these for work,
Duratool Flush Cutters...

Smart purchase, i like it

@Ratchet : What to say ?!?! Cold war era Knipex + impresive Record vise...perfect

Old Facom spark wrenches.


Stamped vs Forged



"Breveté SGDG", Breveté Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement. Something like that the claims of the patent itself are not backed in any way by guarantee of the government.

 

[american lockpicker]

Nice French Facom. I need to get some more Facom tools soon...

 

[Bhae]

 

[Ratchet.]

Nice pry/pinchbars , might see if i can track down one as would be handy, and a lot nicer then the really beat up one i have at the moment

 

[PrecisionTools]

Anyone heard of this company?

 

[american lockpicker]

Heres some tools I'm selling in the classifieds.
