Tools from the old world

[Monte]

Hi there guy's. To introduce my self I'm from Greece and i have no tools. Nothing at all. Someone stole my little collection and for now i have only one screwdriver and an old orbis plier.

welcome to the forum !
Sad to hear !!
But a screwdriver and a pair of pliers is a good start for a new collection

Yeah, I try to act stupid around people with the same illness only. The tool fever! It's enough that the GF already thinks I'm an idiot for photographing tools for the internet.

You take photos of tools for the internet ???? You´re strange dude !!

HAZET 600N 10 - 22 metric :
KING **** 3/8 - 7/8 AF :

nice wrenches !!!

Also does anybody knows the COO of the Bulle pneumatic tools?

China or Taiwan it seems. Price is too low....

Let's just keep this thread about tools, I'll post pictures from my carage in some other section in this forum.

Or, I could take pictures from tools and have really odd backround in photo.

I like seeing pics of anything really.

I love Edding markers, they're the best. They make great paint pents too! Or timing tools..

 

[american lockpicker]

I wish we had them here.

Format/Bessey. Cuts easier it seems. It´s ergonomic enough, comfortable to use. My preferred tin snips. Also available from Würth with red handles. Quality ? I don´t know if there is a difference. Probably made by the same manufacturer anyway...

btw. my tin snips collection

Marvel cable cutter

I knew you gonna ask me that. Bought from http://www.leboncoin.fr/ It's like the French Ebay. Our good GJ menber "cosmik binturong" told me about this cable cutter a month ago.
A special thanks to him

btw. my tin snips collection

Impressive !

btw, do you know my marker collection

 

[american lockpicker]

Where is Cosmik?

 

[AutomatiquE]

Probably still on vacation... those lazy Frenchies

nice !!! Those Pica markers are really good !!!

 

[lok]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Nop, no insurance. It was only a litle toolbox. It had two full range of 1/4 and 1/2 socket. A full set of open box wrenches along with some open end, all my pliers and screwdrivers (not too much like monte ), one c spaner and some other staff that i needed for my car and my motorcycle. I hadn't a collection like yours guys but all was very good tools. Most of them was from the old range of facom, some other from beta, gedore, nws etc.

I realy not need so good tools but i can't without the perfect fitment of a professional wrench.

It's ok.. Never mind. Like you say it's a great chance to start over again.


This beta 13-17 was under the seat of my motorcycle.

 

[american lockpicker]

Nice Italian Beta.

 

[AutomatiquE]

Already found something for you

Thanks Buddy, but i already knew for this auction. Unfortunatly some sockets are missing and i'm mainly looking for NOS stuffs.
Leboncoin.fr is interresting for Facom NOS

@ loc

welcome! You came to the right place for tool studies

 

[dave26]

German version of the "Sharpie": Edding

Dozens of refills for the price of three Sharpies, amazing value.

 

[gathanas1970]

@AutomatiquE

nice to meet you again!

Any suggestions:

a. for high quality air tools?

b. for a bottle jack? (i heard that nike hydraulics manufactures top notch products)

 

[gathanas1970]

let me rephrase air tools = impact wrenches

 

[AutomatiquE]

Why do you want a bottle jack ? They don't have any good reputation, using them under a car could be dangerous. If you work on cars, Jack floors are way safer.

Anyway, many people consider the German "Weber" to be the best company for bottle jacks. http://www.weber.de/hydraulik/en/html/wagenheber-standardmodelle.php

ps : It seems many products from the Swedish Nike are now made in China.

 

[jensputzier]

my speciality is carburators and multible carburator (four or six carburator cars) adjustments. I just love old Weber carburated cars!
So I really, really use my tools and they are not just for keep in toolbox.

No offense intended, but that reminds me of a quote I used in a German auto forum when discussing the quality of my new 5 series BMW adjustable suspension and it's drawback (I assume that you know what you're doing, luckily for me all my car's only have single carburetors):

"Make the suspension adjustable and they will adjust it wrong – look what they can do to a Weber carburetor in just a few moments of stupidity with a screwdriver. (Colin Chapman)"

 

[gathanas1970]

@AutomatiquE

just to use it to change a blown tyre while travelling on the motorway! My car is a 1997 opel vectra b. The supplied mechanical jack is user hostile and at the same moment looks feeble

BTW I also saw AC Hydraulic on page 1

You are absolutely right, I see so many cars that has been adjusted by "expert" and most cases some parts in carburator system has being broken...
When you get carburators right, and do get them and all carburated cars will keep in tune for years, carburated cars are so mutch fun to drive and fast too as carburator do not understan enviromental issues.

 

[Ratchet.]

some of the stuff i bought from evilbay arrived today

wera #6torx micro screwdriver, very nice to use.. sadly turns out its a #7 i needed

Hazet Din spanner, amazed how much nicer this is then the multitude of similar ones i have from car toolkits (mostly made by heyco) feels really solid and well made in comparison.

Hazet 1/2" speedbrace, been after a decent one for a while, shame its not a 3/8 but it will be handy all the same

Stahlwille 1/4 drive extension

stahlwille '50' 32mm 1/2" socket, not seen these in the black finish in the catalog, possibly the nicest finished socket I've seen, the outside is silky smooth and inside is better finished than a lot of sockets are on the outside

and finally, not really a tool but good all the same, and made in Germany

pr88 barrier cream, best stuff ive ever used, works really well, even if your working with diesel cars (sump oil out of them seems to be the worst to get off)

also @zuspiel

I took some close up pics of the jaws of my engineer screw pliers

as you can see very well made + finished, as seems to be common in Japanese tools

 

[zuspiel]

Awesome. Thank you! I need some pliers like that now...

 

[Ratchet.]

Awesome. Thank you! I need some pliers like that now...

[zuspiel]

Thanks for feeding my addiction, guys...

And they ship worldwide... I think I'll be having a package from the UK on the way...

 

[zuspiel]

Ahm, did you guys see this:

http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Stahlwille/47S_5.html

Or the 6pc set for a couple of quid more...

 

[bart1]

Ahm, did you guys see this:

As a matter of fact...

And did you see these?

 

[north]

http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Engineer/PZ-58.html

Just pulled the trigger.

 

[zuspiel]

@bart1



I was just shocked by the price... I have a full set of Toptools that I almost never use...

@north

So, what else did you order?...

 

[dkroth]

Awesome. Thank you! I need some pliers like that now...

Or thru Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002L6HJAA/?tag=atomicindus08-20

 

[north]

zuzpiel,

just the pliers for now. It's either a small order to sneak under the norwegian VAT limit or a big order to save on shipping and customs fees. Wallet says small order for now.

Must give those flex sockets some thoughts though...

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Moose' Tool from the Old World for today:

My new Fiskars axe, made in Finland! It lives in the shop, just in case.

Thanks! Ended up going with this since it turned out to be cheaper...

damn thats a bargain, might have to fork out for those

and another pair of engineer pliers, for home of course (other ones are in my workplace)

the Top, short adjustable looks well priced too....

@monte, are all Torq tools made in Germany? seen a few cheap ratchets etc by them lately but didnt recognize the name (other then the fact there is a chain of fuel stations named Torq here) so never paid much attention

The only "Torq" tools i know are the garden tools sold through the "Hornbach" big box stores over here. It´s a mix of german + import, but mostly import.
