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
Ahhh Ok, now i understand ! Then a bottle jack should be better than the cheap/unstable/dangerous mechanical stock jack...but still take care
@Moose-LandTran + Monte : Nice axes
@Ratchet : Engineer, Stahlwille, HZ...only quality tools

Automatique, that's a cool tool. I think I remember Monte had one that looked quite similar (I think it was Beta).
I'd like to see a video of it being used in action. Can you post a video? .....or Monte?

Aren't guns considered tools as well?
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 smoothand 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)
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
Nice Hazet and Stahlwille stuff!
Those pliers looks very well made.
Yup, have it and the 12pt 3/8" socket set also
And more on the way...Moose' Tool from the Old World for today:
My new Fiskars axe, made in Finland! It lives in the shop, just in case.
Nice! Fiskars is a reliable brand!
Nice, do you know OEM?
Good looking ratchet!
Those Beta sure have a nice finish!
I don't know how it happened but I just ordered one of these from an Ebay vendor called Jens something.
Yes, pictures here makes you do things. Things that are bad for your wallet.

@Jeff : Nice Beta tool equipment and interesting Hammer, do you believe it's made in Italy ?
Sorry, no video but Monte made one about his Beta. The tool i've posted is a different construction but works the same way than the Beta.
Few more pics.

nice tools !
Any tool come with a COO ?

I need an axe but new guns use up all my tool money.
a gun don´t chop a tree
(ok but only the really big guns
)no, unfortunately not. There is a company called "Freund Victoria" who offers the identical axe www.Freund-victoria.de
But i don´t know if they are the OEM or another company.
The only axe manufacturer in Germany i know who offer axes with fibre glass handles is Helko with their "Tomahawk" axe:

None of my Beta tools have a COO marking.
I've also emailed Beta a few times with no response.

Thanks for the video, Monte!
Very nice set! Have no idea of worth though.
Ok. Fiberglass handled axes are not as nice to look at, but can be practical.
Nice video
Those screwdrivers are crazy.
My latest arrival from Tradesmanschoise: Stahlwille 8-piece 1/2" 12-point set. Again with these sets the sizes are odd, no 13mm! (10-11-12-14-15-16-17-19) And, notice that the 10mm is just a 6-point...

@TjoFrasse : Nice Stahlwille sockets. I can remenber a Hazet set in 3/8 (iirc 2800/18). All sockets are 12 points exepting small sizes (9-10) in 6 points.
Yes, but it doesn't say on the item info, the picture there shows all as 12 points.
http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Stahlwille/50UK_8.html
For me it's not such a big deal, I have 12-point 10mm in the 3/8" set. Just thought it could be good to point out for other potential buyers.

Today as I was travelling to work I noticed the Hilti van in a parking lot near a grocery store. I had my dad pull in and drive up to it and it was empty. So I looked around and there was a shop being redone so I got out and went inside and noticed this really hot girl with a Hilti hard hat. So I went up to her and asked is she was a Hilti dealer and she said yes so I said I was interested in a Sawzall and she said there was some in a catalog and gave me one. Then I was telling her I used to be a big fan of Bosch but since they are outsourcing from USA, Switzerland, and Germany to China, Malaysia, and Mexico I wanted to switch brands. She gave me one of her cards and said call me if you see anything you like in the catalog. As we was walking to her van(which had neat graphics all over it and was a European model ) to get prices she started talking tools to me and she knew more than me. Also the price she quoted was significantly less than Bosley who said $450+tax IIRC.
Also I got a pack of German made Varta batterys in the mail.

Was she wearing anything else beside the hard hat?
A woman who knows about tools?!
Is she single? Does she have a sister? american lockpicker

Unfortunately she had clothes on.
I'll invite her here after I buy some stuff from her. Oh and she was much hotter and younger than Hazet girl.

Latest acquisitions, not sure about the Bessey scissors, no area of manufacturing listed on packaging...I guess that can only mean one thing?

Great new stuff, PrecisionTools!
Stahlwille has very nice, or dare to say, different alloy finnish on tools, those are very nice to hold on your hands.
***NOTICE***
All of you, who has being told that "there is no gold at end of rainbow", can now be awsered; yes there are!
Today I saw gold plated Hazet 600N 13mm wrench, I was told that when you sold enaugh Hazet tools in your shop, they used to send gold plated 13mm wrench to you.

@PrecisionTools : Nice Felo drivers Did you already test them ?
I also would like to know who is the OEM of these Bessey scisors I doubt they're made by Fiskars cause the screw is different.
Maybe Monte knows ?
Received yesterday morning Reilang oiler http://www.reilang.com/
ps : Bought from our good GJ member JensPutzier, a nice guy to deal with

AutomatiquE,
Nice rotband plus hammer. I've always wanted more of those.
What do you think of the MOB hammers though, the Carbon series? Those seem readily available.....at least with all the bricolage type stores I visited in Paris.
Monte,
Thank you for making the video. I appreciate you taking the time to do it.
Same goes to TJ for his video of his garage.

@superautobacs : This MOB carbon hammer is not bad at all
http://bricolage-outillage.fr/index...___manche_carbon___0001320701-selcat-286.html
Now i'd like to know if it's really made from carbon or it's just a commercial label
@Duarte : My brother owns the BT.11, it's the shorter cantilver. As far as i can remenber steel sheets are not very thick, but the box is nicelly finished with many stamps. Made in Italy.
