Tools from the old world

[american lockpicker]

Semi auto but it can always be bumpfired. Also your wrench could be Brasilian.

 

[t.ruckus.rex]

Interesting, Brasil huh?

I got a pile of Stahlwille wrenches and sockets for sale going into the classifieds shortly.

I'll post a comparison between the Stahlwille wrenches, Armstrong, Snap on and some Spanish stuff I got.

do you plan to open a tools museum

Thanks.
Yes it's highly functional.
As for the quality, I am not an expert but I think it is very good. Νot as good as on my old nws, but nothing to the functionality.
The edges are not smooth.
I love the industrial appearance.

Good
I think it a normal edges/surface for a tools made over 20 years rough built. But I'm sure a material is awesome

8250 vs. 8245

Very nice Gedore Pliers collection + awesome comparison PICS

throw it on the ground and drive with your car over the case

Cimco electronic sidecutters

Been working in a Volvo main dealer this week, they have some nice brand new Volvo special tools. Interesting countries of origin, many from Sweden (as you'd expect) but many from other countries, mostly EU.

Wow! that a lot of very nice special tools
Thanks for the PICS

Heyco tyre lever

I already saw it at my local tool shop
what your opinion about that? can I buy it and
How much you bought it?

The #0 is actually stamped "Made in Germany," though the others are all marked Czech Republic. (Except the #00 has no COO marked.)

Made in Germany
soo lucky
Btw:nice "tools in action" PICS

Anyone ever seen a Belzers wrench? I'm thinking its German but no COO on it?
I got one sitting in my toolbox right now, I think I feels a little better then most of the other stuff in my box. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

Upload PICS..
and wait for monte, he know everything about Belzer

Going to get some TLC pretty soon.

Schaaawing.....

 

[mrtools]

Received a second package from Jens with a piece of souvenir - Hazet badge a few days ago

And another "tools in action"

Special thanks to our member Jens for souvenir and did not charge additional weight for this time

 

[Vinko]

The finish on those Hazets are just super nice.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Ok There is a Volvo dealer(heavy trucks) in my community do you think they could/would get me those items? Or should I order online?

According to my parts guy, no, as the car and truck dealers are totally separate and can only supply parts for their own division. Can try though.

What the hell do you want it for?

 

[Rusik]

Exotic measuring instrument
do you plan to open a tools museum

Thank you. We've got a lot of such tools. And a new one.

 

[greesha]

Sorry if this has been covered.
Been lurking on these forums for a while.

How do you guys, the ones overseas, get tools.
Do you have tool trucks like we do in the states?
Or do you have to order everything and wait for it to be shipped to you.

 

[north]

We have tool trucks over here (Europe) too.

Edit: Welcome to the forum.

 

[AutomatiquE]

@greesha : Welcome on board In France we don't have tool trucks in big cities. Sometimes in smaller villages you can meet the Facom truck coming every month. Formyself, i mostly buy my tools online or in some local shops.

I already saw it at my local tool shop
what your opinion about that? can I buy it and
How much you bought it?

The flat tyre wrenche is a must have in every tool box, it could be very usefull in many situations. This 500mm Heyco is a good one, not too light (~645 Gr) and very stiff due to its "H" construction. I bought it 2 years ago and I paid Eur 16,- if i remenber correctly. If you're looking for something stronger, try the tyre wrenche with a "S" profile.
Stahlwille make some very good.

By "S" profile, i mean this :


Not chromed, not shiny but a strong hardening process


Made in France in 60's (i think).

Received a second package from Jens with a piece of souvenir - Hazet badge a few days ago

Nice I don't have any Hazet drivers, but i always considered them
Also, cool badge Jens is a nice guy to deal with

 

[aag14V]

My GEDORE wrenches , i love the GEDORE tools !

 

[Monte]

I've been running into a bit of Robertson lately,

colorful collection
Do you have the green one too ?

Anyone ever seen a Belzers wrench? I'm thinking its German but no COO on it?

Could be from Argentina

OK..but if I get another one free from you or Hazet

i think you have warranty

it´s not my car, but the oil change should have be done 1000 KM before, i think (iirc) thats what the on-board computer said.
No continental car ? try Audi

cool find !! Where can you find something like that ?

good tools - good pics - good post mrtools !

How do you guys, the ones overseas, get tools.

we have snap-on trucks too, but usually you simply go to a tool store or order it.

Made in France in 60's (i think).

thats a cool looking lever !!

My GEDORE wrenches , i love the GEDORE tools !

sweeet the no. 7 wrenches are my favourite Gedore wrenches !

Do you have the green one too ?

The #1 is in fact a very dark green, but showed up as very nearly black in my pictures.

 

[american lockpicker]

What the hell do you want it for?

My collection...

 

[ECP]

cool find !! Where can you find something like that ?

The body shop I work at was built in 1967 and the owner had(has) a hard time throwing away anything. Found a few gems, mostly body hammers. Yesterday I actually found a toolbox with a leading kit in it, buried under literally 1" of body shop dust

 

[t.ruckus.rex]

Some 32mm Wrenches from a recent haul with a well used Snap on for comparison in size.

The Stahlwille is by far the thinnest at about 1/4" thick (0.245 on my calipers).

The Wright is the thickest at a whopping 0.421, almost double the Germans.

The Belzer is a little thicker but feels better then the Wright to me.

Series 13 and a Series 14 hanging together

 

[PrecisionTools]

Cimco electronic sidecutters

Here's one I prepared earlier...

I'm afraid it didn't perform to well. Edges dulled quite quick. Make sure you keep your cutting to below 1mm copper if you want it to last.

Stick to German stuff Monte! Or try a bit of USA

 

[american lockpicker]

Or Swiss or Swedish.

 

[PrecisionTools]

A lot of Lindstrom stuff (Sweden) is made in Spain now isn't it?

yeah i noticed mine has 1,30mm cutting capacity so i will stay below that

ok
The drop forged Knipex cutters from ball bearing steel are on my wish list
I also would like to try the Knipex "super Knips" pliers.
The Tronex pliers look purdy but like other american brands it´s difficult to impossible to find over here (except Stanley + Irwin...)








Picked up these NOS NWS 205mm long combi pliers:

 

[magnusk750]

I shouldn't swear on it but I suppose nothing Lindstrom is made in Sweden anymore, thus made at the SNA plant in Spain. I m no expert on Lindstrom though, but I've got some focus on Bacho.

A lot of Lindstrom stuff (Sweden) is made in Spain now isn't it?

Hi, and welcom to forum.
Same thing here; We have tool stores/shops, only Snap-on is sold from van, (and that is why I saw first Snap-on tool few months ago, you can't sell any if customers have to play hide-and-seek with mobile shop.)

Generally good tools are rare in here, for example you can't find used tools, because tools where so expensive earlier and now when tools can be found cars are so complex that normal people can not do anything to repair them.
Biltema sells tools, it is basicly like Harbour Fright, many people are happy with those tools and if one rarely use tools, they work just fine.

 

[unknow82]

Folks here are talking Lindströms? I understan Lindström make today tools for jewelry industry.
I took group photo from NOS Gedore pliers (I spend compleat 8€ for those...), compare to new ones and my mighty Lindströms.

What photo does not show, Lindstöms are machine very well and have mirror finish on them, but no chrome plated.

This set of screwdrivers is made not in Germany?

Bought in Croatia ?

Makita recip saw from one of the garage buddies

Cool Electric saw and made in Japan Kudos to your buddy

Stick to German stuff Monte! Or try a bit of USA

Tronex looks good is it really made in USA ?

Picked up these NOS NWS 205mm long combi pliers

Nice pliers Monte I also prefer this old handles than the new 3K.

I took group photo from NOS Gedore pliers...

Wow the old Gedore in the middle with translucide handles looks excellent When did you buy it ?

As promised earlier, the difference between Stahlwille 50-series sockets

Thanks for the little review

Cimco...

Nice tool equipment and nice Heyco Maxline All bought in Russia ?


Open end wrenches. Facom "Serie 44" and Stahlwille "Motor".

 

[unknow82]

Wow the old Gedore in the middle with translucide handles looks excellent When did you buy it ?

Few months ago, I source through old tool shops, that old one, was behind five or so new ones.

[PrecisionTools]

Yep...No box joint though. Euro stuff may still have it over them in the long term I'd say. Only time will tell.

 

[PrecisionTools]

yeah i noticed mine has 1,30mm cutting capacity so i will stay below that

Yes, mine has 1.3mm on it as well. Higher current devices like power diodes or power FETs/Transistors seem to have a bit stronger materials in their legs than a plain old resistor or copper wire. Even at this rated diameter, they get damaged on these devices.

mhhh the new one looks better (imho) nice industrial "machined" look...

.

nice !!!! Where did you find these tools ? They look a bit older ? Nice quality collection !!! Like the russian Heyco package !

Nice pliers Monte I also prefer this old handles than the new 3K.

me too

Open end wrenches. Facom "Serie 44"

best Facom wrench design so far

Yes, mine has 1.3mm on it as well. Higher current devices like power diodes or power FETs/Transistors seem to have a bit stronger materials in their legs than a plain old resistor or copper wire. Even at this rated diameter, they get damaged on these devices.

Then i will only use them with copper wire ! Thanks for the hint !
They would be quite useful to cut of transistors etc. because of the flush cutting edge....but..... well....
