Tools from the old world

[north]

Well, he IS the Toolminator. Ain't nobody stopping him.

 

[Monte]

@Monte : Great pics and thanks again

no problem ! More pics below

I have been in Sancti Petri (Chiclana) (CADIZ) [SPAIN]

In this beach:

in this HOTEL:

WOW what a nice place !!!!!

But no tools ??

There were many German people in the Hotel

I´m sorry for you

Monte: Thanks for the pictures! No problems running around photographing at the fair? I'm guessing you don't have a press pass.

No i don´t have a pass. I just take photos and then ALWAYS someone comes and say: "i can give you a catalog so you don´t need to take photos". Then i say "Don´t worry i´m not from China" Then i take some more pics and a catalog and sometimes they ask why i take pics so i say for the internet and because it´s my hobby so they then look strange because tool hobbyist is a unknown species it seems

Monte, if you don't mind me asking, what is your job?

You have the most amazing tool collection and an unrivalled knowledge, not to mention the abilty to find anything we ask about, but so far i've never heard what you do for a living.

right now i work in a candy factory

I don't believe he needs any press pass. Everybody knows him

lol that would be nice

Knowing Monte it's probably him that arranges these events!

maybe in the future A event with Montes tools

He arrives with his entourage and the groupies go wild!

tool groupies don´t exist right now but hopefully in the future if not i will become a musician

Well, he IS the Toolminator. Ain't nobody stopping him.

As long as i have better tools than Skynet ....

Not what i had expected! I was thinking you were an engineer, an industrial designer or maybe a secret superhero! (Werkzeugmann, maybe?)

[epiphany]

wow, that's a count of jobs most germans will never reach...


anyway: somebody know how to cut 0,8 - 1,5mm aluminium sheets as clean as possible?
i'm not sure about the best way, because i've no experience. thanks!

[epiphany]

thanks monte. i like oversized methods to do a job, but i guess this would be a little bit over the top. only want to cut some small 5 - 25 cm sheets to extend the case of my personal computer.

 

[PrecisionTools]

Lastly I found these items from Italy and Holland at Walmart.

You might want to have a look at the fine print on the Mentos...over here they are made in China.

 

[Jeff]

right now i work in a candy factory

When can we expect some free samples?

Tin snips or jig saw or maybe a scroll saw ?

too unhealthy. i don´t want to be responsible for your doctors bill

Before i worked for a employment/recruitment agency (like "Manpower") in all kinds of jobs like in a chemical plant, logistics, letter shop, candy factory, cleaning company etc.

I worked for a while for a company called Buyagift, packing envelopes as a temp gob. Everyone i tell that think it must've been a terrible job. It was actually one of the best jobs i've ever had, because there were a lot of us there and it was a great atmosphere. Still one of the best job i've ever had, i loved it!

anyway: somebody know how to cut 0,8 - 1,5mm aluminium sheets as clean as possible?

I'm interested too, as i want to put aluminium sheets in my toolbox drawers to rivet socket rails to.

Tin snips or jig saw or maybe a scroll saw ?

An excellent idea! Danke, Werkzeugmann!

 

[Duarte]

I received a Swiss made tool today..

My MkII Kingston, serial #67, arrived today.

 

[epiphany]

scroll saw would be my favorite, don't trust jig saws. did a research about scroll saws and my result; Hegner, nothing, nothing, nothing, ..., nothing, the others.

maybe this will help me?

You need to work at Mont Blanc soon and get me some of those Meisterstucks.

How interesting. Here in my county in Vienna(how European does that sound ) we have a factory that makes top quality Swiss chocolate.

http://www.holls.com/

Holl's is a master of the fine art of great chocolate. We are an artisan chocolatier, trained in traditional Swiss methods. We import our raw chocolate straight from the land of the Alps, and hand-craft our chocolate truffles and confections in small batches to ensure freshness.

You might want to have a look at the fine print on the Mentos...over here they are made in China.

Nope made in Holland.

 

[american lockpicker]

That watch reminded me of something nice I got the other day.

 

[zuspiel]

$380 (apparently) between me and tool heaven...

Eibenstock electric power tools:
www.eibenstock.com

[PrecisionTools]

Nope made in Holland.

That would be right...they send the Chinese **** to the backwater countries.

Buying Chinese tools is one thing, but who is game for Chinese food? Fonterra found that one out the hard way...

Who is Fonterra? Also I used to eat these noodles walmart sells called Simply Asian and the noodles had a weird plastic or chemical smell to them. I didn't think anything of it until one day I noticed the chinese COO I had assumed it was US made like most ethnic foods here...

can´t imagine... packing envelopes/letters into yellow plastic boxes all day long... at least my experience was terrible robot work....

An excellent idea! Danke, Werkzeugmann!

Who is Fonterra?

http://www.fonterra.com/

Big NZ dairy company that partnered with a Chinese dairy producer (San Lu) that killed Chinese children with a baby formula they mixed Melamine in with. They were killing kids in their own country but didn't want to recall the product...it beggars belief...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonterra

Some idiot at your Iams (owned by Procter & Gamble) company did the same thing...the USA is the second biggest dairy producer in the world and some clown there decided to get cheap milk powder imported from China. Of course it was laced with melamine and killed a heap of family pets in the US.

I could not describe the rampage I would go on if some one ruined the life of a family member or even a pet, just to save a buck.

 

[american lockpicker]

Oh them. I seem to remember someone on this forum lost a pet because of them.

 

[alvafang]

for these tools, I think you are a car technican. Are you?

 

[Monte]

And the Oscar goes to......*drum roll* 'Werkzeugmann' starring Toolminator!

That was ace Monte, thanks. You need NOT worry about your spoken english.

 

[PrecisionTools]

That is so cool...I've just learnt how to correctly pronounce the names of all my German stuff! Thanks Monte...nice work.

I can add that PB Swiss pick set to my list of "to get"...

 

[bcjames]

Monte, great photos as ever I'm sure I have some of those Stanley screwdrivers under another branding, but I can't remember who!

I have to point out my great appreciation to NWS. After I snapped the tip off my pliers pulling an r-clip out I bought another set, but thought I'd drop an email to NWS about it anyway. Customer services in Germany forwarded my email to their UK dealer, who asked for my address, and today this turned up

I'm really impressed with their customer service!

 

[GTVi]

Monte your English is excellent, and I like your pronunciation of the German brand names. I love your tools...thank you for showing us your tools..
