A different sort of Old-World tool. My lad with his uncle, on his uncle's beautifully restored Norton Commando 750S. This thing makes an amazing sound:

I just got a package in straight from the old world (by way of Jens): a couple of Schmitz pliers and some Wiha goodies that the US importer doesn't bother with.
After reading PrecisionTool's review of the Schmitz stuff, I decided I had to give it a try. I've got the partial-flush triangular tip side cutters and the serrated-jaw chain nose pliers. I'll post impressions once I've beat on them a bit.
The Wiha stuff consists of 3 obscure sizes of PicoFinish nutdriver (1.8, 3.2 and 7.0), the soft-handled T-handle with a holder in the side (so you can use the main stem to get more torque), some small XZN keys and some super-long slotted, phillips and pozi drivers. The shafts may look bent in the picture, but that's just my cheap camera -- they are all straight as an arrow, even the tiny 3.0x300!
It always bugs me that Wiha doesn't import their entire line to the US.

The calender is getting better and better by the day!
Behind todays door, one of the coolest bottle oppener:
Cool! I got one a while back in the regular green and black. Now, is this one actually stamped to be 1000V rated as the handle coloring implies?
