Tools from the old world

[Monte]

I discovered recently that there are several potentially useful tools that are not listed in the US Wiha web site

That´s some nice exotic stuff !!!

aha.. Very nice. We are waiting to see how it looks like this year! Did you open any door yet?

i don´t own one

In every Gedore dealer I guess! But hurry If you want to get one!

i will i will

Today I found some new old stock hazet combination and open-end wrenches. The seller told me that they are more than 10 years old. Both of them has the 2 level design.

I also found some facom No 44 made in france.

I didn't ask for the price though because I was afraid that I could not resist.

Sory no photo.

come on ask for the price





Does somebody knows "The Simpsons" ?

 

[Monte]

Sure they do a 20% rebate...but for a made in China or a made in Mexico drill they could even do a 50% rebate
Now i stick only with Fein and Suhner

i doubt they will do it...
The other choices are better too

Talking about letter opener

where can i get one ?

edit:
Do you know if there are "Lemaitre" safety shoes which are made in france ?

 

[american lockpicker]

How much for ammos ? Do you have the rifle ?

$10 a box but you can get 10% off coupons for ammo. If you order the ammo you can get a battle pack which is like 60 rounds IIRC for $36.

No don't have a Ruben and you don't see any for sale now(6 or 7 years ago you could get them from Shotgun News for $125 plus shipping...)

Please, tell me more about this.

Seen it at Walmart yesterday and bought a 4 pack. It seems to be a Christmas thing. I like the style of bottle, its retro cool.

Does somebody knows "The Simpsons" ?

I'm more of a Futurama fan, but that is awesome.

 

[bart1]

I have pictures of Duff beer I took in Stuttgart this year. AFAIK, they don't sell it here.

 

[AutomatiquE]

Does somebody knows "The Simpsons" ?

Huh ! Homer's Duff beer made in Germany, tssss...

i doubt they will do it...
The other choices are better too

I also doubt they'll ever do such a rebate
Concerning the two other brand i've mentioned, Suhner can do a 20% rebate and Fein 0,00% ...but, who care ?! They're the best drills in the world, aren't they ?!

where can i get one ?

At their website. Ask them gently to sell you one

Do you know if there are "Lemaitre" safety shoes which are made in france ?

Sure i know about Lemaitre shoes, i had a pair a looong time ago.

Good price for ammo Schmidt-Rubin is a cool Swiss rifle and not very expensive, at least here in France

Seen it at Walmart yesterday and bought a 4 pack. It seems to be a Christmas thing. I like the style of bottle, its retro cool.

Yup, cool bottle

 

[lok]

My advice : Forget the crisis and buy them all

They were waiting for 10 years on the rack. I think they can waiting a little more.

Thankfully he did not have the box-end.

come on ask for the price

No!

 

[superautobacs]

Plasmatic,

Cool items you got there.




Automatique,

I dig that Athlet letter opener. Excellent shape!

I wonder can you get StG 57 there?

http://www.swissrifles.com/pe57/index.html

I've been hoping to find a used one or a Sig AMT.

The Swiss Sturmgewehr 57 is available from time to time on the French market. A friend of mine owns a SIG AMT (American Match Target) in 308 Win.
Trully the finest AR i've ever seen in my life.


Once again, from my father's tool box. Thank you Papa
Facom Water pump plier, 90's.




Not a very efficient design but fully hardened : head + levers

 

[Monte]

Huh ! Homer's Duff beer made in Germany, tssss...

doh ! Homer knows what´s good

I also doubt they'll ever do such a rebate
Concerning the two other brand i've mentioned, Suhner can do a 20% rebate and Fein 0,00% ...:

Sounds good The 0,00% rebate companies are the ones with the good tools
The costs for a tool appear only once, the happiness while you use the tool lasts forever

but, who care ?! They're the best drills in the world, aren't they ?!

yes
Fein, Duss, Baier...

At their website. Ask them gently to sell you one

ok

Sure i know about Lemaitre shoes, i had a pair a looong time ago.
Try : http://www.lemaitre-securite.com/

so...fabrication française ?

No!

yes

...The costs for a tool appear only once, the happiness while you use the tool lasts forever

Thaaat's right
Btw, your commitment "costs/happiness...lasts forever", is from 70's...but i like it.

ok

Ask for Herr Manuel Pursian

so...fabrication française ?

Yes, i believe it's still 100% made in France, even if i noticed a "South African Joint Venture", somewhere on their website.

Looks good, any COO ?

When I think of my Bosch 1590 EVSK which is the pinnacle of Swiss engineering and manufacturing I have to agree.

 

[PrecisionTools]

My first, and probably last set of SAE spanners.

 

[Krokodil]

Nice Stahlwille wrenches!

I picked up 6 x Hazet 630 double box wrenches for less than $20 equivalent at my local pawn shop! Still need to go look for the missing size. Will post picks then.

[american lockpicker]

I wonder why they used a Dremel(2:40) instead of a Proxxon?

 

[mrtools]

You can find NOS Facom on the French Ebay and other auction French websites. The most common NOS Facom available are adjustable wrenches, extractors, and different wrenches. The screwdriver i've posted is relatively hard to find in new condition.
Nice vintage quality machine My brother owns a similar old Bosch, i'll try to post a pair of pics soon.

Thanks for the info

a Wera set sells for about 33 to 40€, a regular set without the square drive starts at around 26.-€

9mm Gedore Letter Opener...... probably more than 30 years old.

Awesome! You're from Auckland, I'm guessing?


@Monte,
Thanks for those old advertisements, especially that Fein one!
...and also for the Festool give-away link.

Kosoku--never heard of it until now. They were the first to produce angle grinders and offset grinding discs in Japan, in 1955. They seem to be like a national supplier from government to private corporations, both big and small.

yeah their angle grinders look really interesting, when i have some money again in 2012 (hopefully ) i´ll try to get one Don´t own a 4"/100mm grinder But it seems they only make them in 100 Volt and some models in 200 Volt...

ps: Do you know what "angle grinder" or "Power tools" is in japanese ? I try to find power tools from "Toshiba" again, i once found a site but it´s down....



btw. angle grinders:
