Only 2.99€!? What a steal!
Kamikaze, it's interesting to see that Veritas optical center punch in one of your drawers!
I made a recent visit to my local Canadian Tire store (the Bauhaus / Mr. Bricolage of Canada) and decided to snap a few photos of a typical Fiskars product display:
In photos 2 and 3 everything's made in Finland.
In photo 4, those three items are made in Finland.
In photo 5, everything is made in China.
In photo 6, only the weed pullers are made in Finland.

The sud does not have any tools in the near future. I will have to keep an eye out to see when they will have tool and tool supplies on sale.
sometimes they offer nice bit sets made in germany branded "Targon"
in the past they also sold german made power tools.
you could check out Lidl too, sometimes they sell swiss made jig saw and recip blades.
Monte, finally you're going to the fair in Cologne?
I can not go
sorry ...no...no job...no money....
but here the Flickr Album of the hardware fair:

I'm almost sure that Weicon stripper is made by Thomas & Betts. Very nice!
After that video, I feel embarrassment to say; "I have neve heard Sparky tools before..."

Ok, so take Toptul's dynamic open end and attach a Capstop plate and that gives you the Wera Joker?

very very nice stuff !!!
i think it´s vice versa
me neither a couple of years ago.... but they sometimes test Sparky tools in DIY magazines/Home improvement magazines. I´ve not yet seen these tools "live" only rebadged, they make some tools for Eibenstock and Collomix for example. www.Eibenstock.com www.Collomix.de www.sparkygroup.com

They look pretty interesting. Only wish it is reversing. It would be great for working in tight places on a motorcycle.
i want it !!!Love the Stahlwille sticker! Nice tools + box!new and better quality pics,
i love that snap on sticker
Do want!
We should start a fundraiser to send Monte there! Open a paypal account!sorry ...no...no job...no money....
Cool! We'll have to see the cost though... Can't really motivate getting another set of wrenches...News from Wera The Joker:
Looks good.
The guy using the normal open end wrenches in the video really needs to improve his technique!
Surely won't be German at least...i bet 100 bucks for made in Taiwan

Nice tools
Where ? why ? how ?
Its all wiha stuff inside the box - I also was a bit surprised about the bosch label at the outside of the box. It came together with another l-boxx but I bought that seperatly.

yeah nice factory with a lot of german machines
just found a good job when i watched TV: 200 Euro per day and only one hour work per day......at Fukushima..We should start a fundraiser to send Monte there! Open a paypal account!
Surely won't be German at least...
Those Felo sets looks nice!
...but probably not german either.... (the Felo sets...)...
btw.: Thomas + Betts is a american company
if you browse through the Weicon catalog i think you can see that they are the manufacturer:

Nice tools here as always..
I have a problem: my electric china made beard trimmer/hair cutter is emitting smoke signals every now and then. Since I do not understand Chinese this is of no use to me regarding diagnosing the problem. On top of that it is so dull; using a hammer and anvil to trim my beard would be just as quick and probably less painful.
So I am in the market for heavy duty beard trimmer/hair cutte. Something suitable for horses, barb wire e.t.c would do... I guess.
Suggestions?

l-boxx was 30 euros for the smallest size. The wiha set was surprisingly cheap at 25,-. Shipping for free within germany.

I called this brand new one in on a bidding site.
The price i gave was 9$. They cost like 50-55$ in the stores.

Yep Jens. Great communication though i did end up using ebay messanger to go back and forth as he wasnt getting private message notifications from here. Really like the 1/4" ratchet, Jens mentioned they're making a 3/8" model for release later this year so will definetly pick one of those up as well. I'll try to post some better individual pics tomorrow.
