Think that creeper is actually made in Asia, not the us
Cool files!
Hello everybody! Greetings from Bulgaria! I need Your opinion for 1 case.
How do you think? It is good brand and tools or no?????
It always depends on how much you need them, but for that price I wouldn't hesitate.
the ratchet dont look german
Studying the pic closer I think you're right. Really looks like a older Taiwanese ratchet. Too bad for a otherwise nice set.
That was perhaps a bit harsh. It's mostly the needle nose that I think is bad. The nose is just too big. But there was none of those in the set you posted so. The combination and the side cutter is good, just not good enough to make me change my old habits
Some more comparison shots:
Gedore pliers also look better than their wrenches
"Bling Bling" is also not wanted by everybody, over here often the customer thinks the more "bling bling" a product has the worse the quality.
Yeah, Gedore pliers looks good too. I think you're right about the difference between the two markets. . A little cultural difference between the status of shiny chrome stuff in general (US cars generally has more chrome also).
Lets hope there is here. I got some pliers for cheap when they changed supplier for those. You should try to find the liquidator, perhaps there is some place like the Bahco outlet for those
so we can expect a lot of new tools from the Bahco store ?
It's not like I got much money for it. But yeah, I'm going back to the store some more
Electrolysis, vinegar bath or which cleaning method did you use?
bought some at flea market few moments ago
what # 37 stands for? (next to "made in germany") open end will be cleaned with steel wire wheel,dont know if i'm gonna clean box one or i will keep it like that... someone know how old is box wrench?

Most likely they come form the same plant in taiwan the bgs and the wisent. The BGS torx set I have is pretty well made and does the job.

good job !
frame is homemade?
yeah by snap-on employees at home
Naa.. This is not from old world.

but the new world was founded by people from the old world so it makes sense .... ? i actually have 3 snap-on ratchets....want pics ???
i dunno, i think it´s part number JC26C.
The newer version seems to be JCW65AR . All Snap-On labeled creepers show "USA" as origin.
...the headrest is not adjustable anymore:
and some wheels/bearings are pretty much f... up/gone, no lifetime warranty, no spare parts....
maybe you can find a nice old Gedore ratchet on the flea market or ebay ?
maybe bigger = stronger = heavy duty typeThat was perhaps a bit harsh. It's mostly the needle nose that I think is bad. The nose is just too big. But there was none of those in the set you posted so. The combination and the side cutter is good, just not good enough to make me change my old habits
nice pics ! I like the pliers ! Design reminds me on Bahco, but flashier
that´s where the chrome belongs
Cars + motorcycles

nice tool haul !!! I like the pullers
The BGS oil pans almost look like the Blitz pans http://www.blitzusa.com/oilchange.htm

I suspect Argentina, but perhaps Germany?

I have to give the BGS one thing, it is very complete, it covers everything someone in Europe or asia would need. Not much need for SAE, so you get all the metric sizes plus etorx, torx, hex and ph and slotted bit sockets.

I also believe that those Palmera pliers are chrome-finished and rebadged Bahco pliers.

Nice Felos!
Delivered today:
This set (Wiha) was purchased for £33.90 (incl shipping), which I think is a pretty good price. Very nice and marked Made in Germany:
View media item 20744
I also took delivery of a 6-piece set of Kind **** all-metal T-handle nut drivers, but I'm a bit disappointed with the quality, so I haven't bothered to take a photo. It may be that they're fine functionally, but they look like they were slapped together pretty quickly/cheaply. There's paint missing from inside the sockets, the welded joints don't look tidy/even, and they haven't even done a very god job of stamping their name on them.
There's no COO marking, so perhaps they've been made in China? It's my first King **** purchase (and now probably last aside from a set of offset ring spanners from ebay that are in the mail) and I was expecting a bit better based on the reputation. Oh well...

Where did the Wiha nut spinners come from mate?
PM sent. Not that it's a secret, just that they dont pay me to advertise for them
Anyone else that's curious is welcome to the info as well of course.
1) Because I can.
2) With tools, more options is always better.
Sometimes a screwdriver handled nut spinner is just right for the task (and will definitely fit into a smaller spot in the smaller sizes). Sometimes a fixed t-handled one is easier to grab than a ratchet (or t-handle), extension and socket (especialy if those items might already be in use for the job). Zero chance of a socket falling off and disappearing into some inaccessable hole as well.
It might be better to ask Monte why he has so many 13mm spanners when he only has 2 hands
And wouldn't this forum be dull if we all had only the minimum tools required to complete the job?

The big advantage of nut spinners lies with those that have hollow shafts.
That is a very nice result for that method! Good work!
You did not get the 7750?
Another look-a-like:

Seems like a common kit for rebranding. Like shoturtle says probably a good kit for a hobbyist.
Not my kit, and the owner does not care. But it is a shame.
maybe bigger = stronger = heavy duty type
Perhaps, but if I can get those needle nose in somewhere, I might as well use combination pliers...
Biggest reason for getting Palmera tools: Nice green handles
that´s where the chrome belongs
Cal-look de-chroming is the way to go
ohhh that would be nice: Bahco-Belzer-Palmera-Hazet-Gedore-Knipex-NWS-Stahlwille outlet store
Yeah, and then I woke up
very good !
Going tomorrow
Last time they said there should be some new deliveries for today. Let's hope! 
All of that design that I have seen has been Argentina. If there is no Germany marking, I'd say Argentina for sure.
Or Acesa with different color handle. Don't think the combination plier design is made by Bahco, but is a Acesa design. Have seen the combination plier in chome/orange as Bahco also though.
No socket wobble at all. More direct feel in tool. And of course, for the sake of having all kind of tools.
Three?
Yes pics please.
ok here
50/50 chance
i would ask the seller but i guess not germany
nice electronic screwdriver collection !!!satisfied my felo fetish a bit yesterday.
thats a steal at 3.39 per piece !!!

It might be better to ask Monte why he has so many 13mm spanners when he only has 2 hands
in case one breaks....
...no because i collect 13mm wrenches
sadok thats right

My very basic electric set. Narex screwdriver has no VDE mark, but sure is 1000V resistant and I hope so

The stanley looks like the old style wiha. If I did not see the stanley, I would have mistaken them for wiha.
The Stanley pliers looks german......Orbis brand....

No COO on it, but maybe rebadged Wiha? Stanley is very suspicious company, as I can see in the shops - one half of their product seems to be decent, but the second half is the worst kind of garbage...

This screwdriver set is the worst set of tools I have ever used for a work:
http://www.flonartech.cz/flonartech/eshop/0/0/5/43-sada-sroubovaku-Stanley
the small flat one looks like hard abused and bent a little after 10 screws, PH2 was unusable after cca 5 screws. I can't imagine bigger sh*t in my hands

They sell that set in the US as well it is super cheap, not worth the 10 dollars price.
It's not mine! It's a tool from work.
common it's just a pics
That is great collections
congratulation!!!!
Knipex + Palmera
Thanks for the comparison pics
Nice to have Knipex for everyday tasks in the workshop and great to owned green handle Palmera for collection
The tools fans have more than one answers for your question
one of them is just for spare tools and collection, example? monte!
or they don't have any reason to purchase new tools.
and the most important reason is to use the right or better tools for the jobs
Anyone have experience deal with TBS Acchen Werkzeughandel maybe I need to purchase something from them. That no English version for the website,they ship worldwide? tried to browse...but I don't understand Dutch
Don't forget to take some picsGoing tomorrow
finish...
