Tools from the old world

[PrecisionTools]

It on my wish list T handle but my wallet can't afford at the moment. I have to completed their wrenches first
have you used it, if yes what your opinion?

I only dipped my toe in the water and got the one...my most used fastener - 8mm. The accuracy of the fastener fit is amazing. So much better from the stuff I have been using. I will now be looking for a 10mm and a hex set in this format I think. The handle is comfortable and grippy, the only thing I would of liked is a magnetic insert in the socket to hold the bolt, but I'm still happy with it.

I have been tossing up what German brand to replace my socket range and have been very happy with my recent Stahlwille purchases and would have to find something else pretty good not to go with them.

Thanks to share your detail opinion about Wille T handle, a black part at the handle made from real rubber, it soft?
if yes, it add my confident to buy one
Actually Stahwille is my favorite tools especially their wrenches

The Green part is actually the grippy section. It's still quite hard. The black part is just hard, slick plastic. Feels good in the hand though...

A new baby..wire cut machine arrived from Swiss with a great hand-tools

A couple of tools to open the box Elora screwdriver and no brand claw hammer

I spy Fanuc servo motor + controller and SMC pneumatic equipment from Japan

main control panel equipment mostly from Europe

they used European + Japanese tools to install/setup a machine
mostly Facom in a smart case.

assortment tools Facom, Belzer and some Japanese MTC pliers + cutter in a funny bags

In their new home..hope it fine

to be continue...

Got a few Willi Hahn tools in yesterday from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal:

Neither the cutters nor hammer were marked Made in Germany, that I saw. Plan to give the cutters as a gift, while the big hammer will become my motivator for moving parts that I do not want to mess up.

Comparison of a couple types of Wiha handles:

And my EHD screwdriver set with some Torx added in (the t-handles are freebies!):

Sure, you may say those screwdrivers are too fat and heavy, but they can carry thier own weight (look ma, no magnets!)

The black shaft/red plastic handle is branded as Proturn by Wiha. This is a lower-cost brand of Wiha tools.
As of 2010, none of Wiha pliers, cutters, needle-nose pliers, etc are made in Germany. Instead, they are made in SROV (Soviet Republic of Vietnam). Please see links below:

http://chadstoolbox.com/wiha32608ba...olongnose63and8diaghilevflatnoseandrndns.aspx

Also, look for Wiha pliers on www.chadstoolbox.com, www.amazon.com
they all say "Made in SROV"
Just trying to be helpful

Yep, I had heard that about the pliers, just positing actual findings. The Proturns are marked Made in Germany.

 

[american lockpicker]

Awesome machine Mrtools.

@BigRussian_from_NYC some of Wiha's pliers are made in Switzerland all of mine are.

Thanks for Wera link and address..you have a very good searching skill
I'm already go to their website a minutes ago and found a couples of high quality tools, that very good
and a price looks good too

happy shopping

Yes!! 3 or 4 years ago I used it for my daily jobs at my work place...but a grinder was broken and here it hard to find their parts to repair and my boss send it to scrap yard
according to my Japanese engineer Kosoku power tools famous in Japan, it a good quality power tools for Japanese trade like Bosch in Malaysia.

good to hear somebody knows about this brand
Which scrap yard ? i want a grinder !

already check it for you

ok thanks !

Awesome I have to get one next year
Do you know a price and where it made? PRC??

The Bosch GSB 10,8-2-LI will be available in 2 versions: with 2 batteries, charger, L-Boxx and holster for 179.- € + tax and as solo tool in a cardboard box for 115.-€. So it´s about 20.-€ more than the GSR 10,8-2-LI drill set (RM84 more than the drill in a set). The GSR drill is made in Malaysia, so i guess the GSB will be from Malaysia too!?

A new baby..wire cut machine arrived from Swiss with a great hand-tools

cool machine, don´t know what it is for but looks good
If someone needs one here a link

Got a few Willi Hahn tools in yesterday from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal:

nice haul !

 

[superautobacs]

You´re welcome Maybe you´ll win



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....

Danke! It's probably my only chance of owning anything Festool. I need to win the lottery or I somehow attain some inheritance money from some distant relative that I don't even know.

Unlike the modern stuff, Kosoku stuff looks very orthodox/old school. I take it you really dig that.

A literal translation of "angle grinder" would be アングルグラインダー ; however, they refer to pneumatic angle grinders.
What we call angle grinders in English is instead called "disc grinders" in Japanese: ディスクグラインダー
"グラインダー" is "grinder"

"Power tools" would be "電動工具"

Here's an index to Toshiba's power tools: http://www.nidec-tecnom.com/Products/TOOL_PUMP/power_tools/power_tool_toppage/frame_syouhintop.html


@bart1,
Nice haul. Those prices were pretty good.


@Mrtools,
Thanks for posting that. I have no idea what the machine does, but it's cool to see the candid shots of the installers' tools.

 

[losabio]

Replaced the struts on my VW this weekend, and these Stahlwille offsets were just the ticket. I also used them for regular wrenching tasks that didn't necessarily involve obstructed bolts, and they did great. These wrenches are neat to hold and seem to be a bit longer than a combo wrench in the same size range. Here's a pic from when they first arrived.

Don't now

Thanks for the info, you are the best to ask
looks like it easy to get one here

cool machine, don´t know what it is for but looks good

Precision wire cut machine..this machine cut a steel plate using their very fine wire (0.2mm) with their 5 axis U,V,X,Y and Z perfect for precision cutting small hole and etc.
even our Japanese engineer team admit ArgieCharmilles was the world best precision cutting machines

Unlike the modern stuff, Kosoku stuff looks very orthodox/old school. I take it you really dig that.

I'am agree with you! orthodox/old school and very classic looks

@Mrtools,
Thanks for posting that. I have no idea what the machine does, but it's cool to see the candid shots of the installers' tools.

You are welcome!
actually in my factory the machine used to produce a precision cut for die parts and their base plate.

Awesome!! congratulation for a great choice
20/9 set 6mm -24mm right?, how much do you pay for a set? $$$
I'm order 20/7 a set last month..hope it reach to me this week

I see a lot of Schneider stuff in that cabinet...

Very good eyes and great knowledge are you in electrical, automation and instrument field?
Yes! a lot of Schneider stuff in this Swiss machine especially magnetic contactor, solid state relays, MCBs, miniature fuses and inverter motor etc.

 

[mrtools]

Another PICS..machine vs tools..free gift PB Swiss Hex set

machine name plate

Installer's used Japanese precision spirit level to make sure our baby stand right

West Germany Elora + Belzer Germany combination wrench

Anybody know where can I get this awesome Germany Belzer wrenches?

 

[bart1]

Replaced the struts on my VW this weekend, and these Stahlwille offsets were just the ticket. ...

Love those! I need to get at least a 21 and 22 mm version of these for my cars. Hazet makes a 21/22, where Stahl doesn't.

I have a few of the shallow offset SAE ones with the good marking And they are long!

...Nice shopping hah!!
close up PIC for Wiha cutters head please
btw: good Wiha driver review i mean "in action"

...

I'll try to snap a pic sometime. They seemed pretty decent. Chrome didn't seem quite as nice as my Hazet. Still prefer NWS to them all.

A few gratuitous pics for you guys (most I have probably posted on GJ before).

@american lockpicker
I have some Wiha pliers that were made in Germany, but they are about 4 years old. Please see page 330 of this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28952&page=330
All new Wiha pliers are made in SROV, very, very sad

 

[american lockpicker]

Heres mine bought this time last year.

Also I took a Bosch survey on tool storage earlier today and noticed this pic.

I'll probably stick with my original case as its very well made but its nice to know they are making the storage compatable with older tools.

 

[american lockpicker]

machine name plate

Awesome pics.

 

[Jure]

How about an old tool from the Old World?

nice!

 

[TjoFrasse]

Well, for my birthday I got a tool box. Nothing fancy at all, but a upgrade for me. I haven't got it up yet, so no real pics, just some from the store.

It's Cocraft, the house brand of the "Clas Ohlson" hobbyist store chain. Generic cheap stuff.

When I get it up there will hopefully be some pics.

I have bought some tools also. My 2mm Gedore punch had this happen:

So I bought a new one at Bauhaus. And a long, small chisel.

I also got the 16mm Matador straight box wrench. I had skipped that size previously when buying them. But now it appears that Matador "Made in Germany" is disappearing so I thought i should get it. So the 14 and 17mm line wrench had to be bought also.

I looked at other Matador stuff when I was there, and there was new wrenches and sockets with no COO marking on them...

Also some Knipex pliers. Small cutter and wire stripper.

Danke! It's probably my only chance of owning anything Festool. I need to win the lottery or I somehow attain some inheritance money from some distant relative that I don't even know.

lol hopefully one of the both plans work out

yeah the tools look nice, not that fancy rubber coated Toys R´Us stuff from nowadays

The link is exactly what i was looking for !!! Danke !!!
thanks for the translation too !!
I wonder why tools from Toshiba and Kosoku as well as the japanese Ryobi are only available in asian countries but not worldwide like Makita or Hitachi ?

should be ! Direct from the factory

even our Japanese engineer team admit ArgieCharmilles was the world best precision cutting machines

so it´s a "EDM" machine/wire eroding machine ?
Japanese engineers saying a swiss machine is the best and not Mitsubishi or equal ? They must do hara-kiri !

It´s better to invest in good hand + power tools anyway

I looked at other Matador stuff when I was there, and there was new wrenches and sockets with no COO marking on them...

i wonder if only the "Bauhaus-Matador" tools are imported now or the non Bauhaus stuff too ? We have some Matador wrench sets in rectangular plastic boxes, upon closer inspection wrenches in one box were marked "HR" which is a brand from India ...

Also some Knipex pliers. Small cutter and wire stripper.

cute cutter

Danke Monte
ps : Looks like the guy is working on the Eiffel tower

some old ads...

Always funny to see old ads, i particulary like the "Männer Haben Metabo" (men have Metabo). Nowadays, such commitment would be probably forbiden by any feminist party

hello everyone...Sorry for my english ...

Welcome/Bienvenue
ps : Your English is better than mine and don't worry, we all speak the Tool language on this forum

Did you ever saw/hear of Kosoku power tools from Japan ?

Nice find Monte

It was a 20/8 set up to 22mm with a 21mm/23mm added on as a single. I used the Advance Auto Parts VISA code to make the 8-pc something like $100 or so.

Love those! I need to get at least a 21 and 22 mm version of these for my cars. Hazet makes a 21/22, where Stahl doesn't.

Built in battery (can be powered with a tool battery too), cast metal/plastic housing, the light housing is asymmetrical so if you put it on a table or ground it always lights in a different angle depending how you lay the light ! 2 light modes. It has a hook too. Pretty nice + bright ! 139.-€ + tax

Yup, "tools from the old world" is the right place for those quality tools

It´s the brand new Festool "SYSLITE" LED flash light "MADE IN GERMANY" by Festool !

Mann, mann, mann this the real flashlight The only lil' problem is the price : Eur 172,- (for the French market). I can ask Santa to bring me this nice present for Xmas but i don't believe my wish will come true
