Tools from the old world

Great color!! Not in Greece this color!

I love the SV motors, I like it so much that I have a SV650S and a SV1000S. It is such a easy motor to work one. Wish suzuki would put it into another bike line besides the V-Strome.

I've had a couple of TLR's as well. Fantastic bike with a little tweaking. Knee on the deck at >100mph and you could about take your hands off the bars and eat a sandwich it was so stable

The original pads are the best but here in Greece are very expensive, 160 € for 3 sets. Do you have any suggestions?

Man, that is cheap! You could try sending out a message with a request for international shipping, maybe you'll get lucky or make an online pick-up request with an international carrier to pick the items from this guy and deliver them to you but that would be more expensive than the spanners themselves i fear.

Regarding V-Strom brake pads, OEM is pricey as hell and not that good. After the OEMs I tried some EBC HH pads which do a better job but also eat into the rotor and now I will be trying some Carbone Lorraine A3+ pads which are advertised as being best of both worlds in terms of braking power and rotor wear.
So: OEM - pricey and not that effective, would not sped money on them
EBC HH - better braking power and feel but they eat up the disk prety fast, not my next choice
Carbone Lorraine A3+ - my next try

Hmm, have you done a valve job on the 650 ABS model? That rear chain tensioner had me learning new curse words before I got it out.

Hello everybody from cold Bulgaria. Greetings to you and your wonderful tools. That is some of my new winter tools, of course from flea market: Knipex, Wurth Zebra and Rahsol. All cost me 7 euro.

Yes and it is a pain if you do not have the right tools.

 

[marcone]

Yes and it is a pain if you do not have the right tools.

Definitely, that's why I got myself a 40mm 1/4'' extension for next time.

 

[JayL]

that gauge looks good !
i think i could use one.......this one right ?

....but remember...the Proxxon tool is not a replacement for a air die grinder

The bevel edge on square tubes give me some trouble when scribing accurate 45 deg miters and this tool solved the problem for me.

That one from amazon looks the same but I got mine from ebay and a bit cheaper.

I need your help. I won an auction on ebay. Some E-Top pliers. Are these rebranded NWS or am i wrong?

[Thunderbisciut]

Everybody loves medical tools, right? Here are some of my German hemostats. The 2 gold plated handle ones are straights, and the bare handle and blue rubber coated handle ones are curved. A german ruler, and my personal favorite, a titanium set of tweezers with extremely fine curved tips. The tweezers are from England, the stainless ones under it are USA and complete **** compared to the others. Last but not least an assortment of NWS pliers.

I use the medical gear for electronics work.

Wera Kraftform Kompakt 27RA ratcheting screwdriver

Just got it from the post office and it's a great piece of tool
It was 6 bits hidden very nicely in the handle.

I must have bought the last one. Give the guy a message, he told me he gets all the tools he sells from a Bauhaus in Germany. Maybe he bring some more.

[Phobo]

yes NWS


do they make a 13mm combination wrench ?

I havn´t measured it says 17mm on it but I am not quite sure if thats actually correct - possible that the labeling is wrong

So we have E-top, lux, ....? that also sell the nws pliers under their label. do you know any more?

In front of me I have the Engelbert-Strauss catalog and they also have nws rebranded stuff in there (+ so much other nice stuff)

Hallo Monte !

Weißt du noch wo du deinen Wagenheber DK20 herhast ? Und wie viel der gekostet hat ? Gibt es da unterschiedliche Versionen ?
Ein Bekannter bietet mir so einen für 219€ an. Allerdings weiß er die Hubhöhe nicht. Nur das er von ihn wohl von Europart beziehen würde.
