Tools from the old world

[shoturtle]

Monte,

That is why I went to my friends and sister in laws place to order it.

 

[Monte]

if they are really interested in potentially buying a Felo screwdriver set..........
a catalog like the Felo one cost like 10 bucks + the screwdriver + shipping + the manpower........

 

[shoturtle]

They are excellent screwdrivers. I have order the PZ 1 and 3 and the PH 1 and 3 to have 3 full sets. I am going to leave a set in each car and one set for work.

 

[Roverbo]

The 1/2" ratchet from Matador has the best sound i ever heard.

Hi Blöckw@rt,
i have the same ratchet, but with long extension tube. You are right, nice sound, but don´t you fell it´s a bit sloppy? - and only 24 teeth (or is it 18?).
I have used it some times under my car, where limited "handling angle" really is a problem .

 

[Roverbo]

another wrench for the collection:
Elora 13mm stainless steel wrench:

Monte, how much extra do those cost compared to the regular version?

And how much extra would it be for a correct english spelling (the inlay says "why does rust formon", not "form on"
OK, i like Elora, so they are foregiven...

And to all of you with the renamed Raaco-boxes, visit their own web:http://www.raaco.dk
Every electronics workshop, car workshop or parts dealer used Raaco-boxes here in Denmark when I was younger. Very good quality...

 

[sensei_]

usually i use a electric shaver.... i only bought it for ocassional use... a razor is too dangerous

fair enough. if you are worried about safety, you can always try the double edge razor, much safer than a barb's razor, and alot less maintenance.

 

[shoturtle]

yes



Looks good so far, couldn´t open the drawers though so i dunno if they´re sloppy or not etc.

Any photos with the tools organized inside?

 

[Lasu]

i guess the 399.- price tag is not forthe Kemppi machine ? ]

It will cost a few coins more.But it is truly Made in Finland,a circuit board,mig guns,cabels,housing etc are made here.
(in Europe you can put the made in "country" label even when the machine is barely even assembled here) but the Kemppi goes different road.

You know you can buy those containers separately? They cost around €1,- per piece.

And if I'm not mistaken, you have the 330x220mm-version. They have bigger versions available and even one that's double height.

I have the same as you (3 to be exact) and use them for bulbs, fuses and such in the car. Bought them for less then €10,- a piece.

Yep,330x220mm,i bought more of those plastic containers for about 1euro.
Plastic inserts are made in Germany,and the metal box is Made in Poland.Thats why these are reasonable priced.
European made.
I also have 4 of these.

You guys should really stop doing that!
You made me realize I need this kind of storage and should get one of these boxes!

Hi,these are nice metal boxes for small items. Treston,Raaco,Allit etc plastic boxes works also.

For the garage,i wish i had money left..

Unfortunately we have no retailer in your country handling Felo tools.

We appreciate your understanding that we therefore can not send you the ordered sample.

Nice find! Ebay?

That is a bit of a mystery isn't it

 

[Van Steele]

Nice find! Ebay?

Indeed.

That is a bit of a mystery isn't it

I guess they're out of give-away screwdrivers from that last production overrun.

 

[Mr. Tool]

I agree, these are 'beautiful' tools!!!

In fact I'll give you these as well! Bernstein tools were mentioned by somebody right at the beginning of the thread. They do seem to be geared towards the electronic field more than anything else, so most of there tools are a little too small for my requirements - they look great though so decided to buy them. Especially like the amber colored acetate handles.

 

[Mr. Tool]

Well this 'time piece' has definitely got my attention!

Lange & Sohne makes beautiful wrist watches. I like "time-piece's, wrist watches and clocks", which I might add is just another one of my expensive hobbies! Others are "audio equipment" and "flashlights" and now "good quality and colorful handle tools"?

[Mr. Tool]

These are very good looking tools! I'd like to get at set of these!
(Damn, y'all are posting some very good tools!)

here some Belzer combination pliers which i once posted

60k euro for a lange and söhne is allot for hobby. But they are beautiful to look at and the workmanship is outstanding on their skeleton watches.

colorful handle hand tools look into PB Swiss. Very colorful tools.

Hazet, Facom & Wera:

 

[shoturtle]

very nice, I am wanting the wera bit driver when the weather gets warmer. Great little kit for the motorcycles.

 

[willhollin]

I want one of those Wera Tool-Check as well! Going to have to land on an Ebay auction though as £60 GBP is a bit rich for me! Especially when you can sometimes pick up a Facom Nano set for that price.

 

[Monte]

btw. storage boxes etc: www.lockweiler-werke.com

fair enough. if you are worried about safety, you can always try the double edge razor, much safer than a barb's razor, and alot less maintenance.

yeah that would be a idea or maybe combine the classic looks with modern technology ?
Like this shaver from Mühle which accepts Gilette Mach3 blades

but i just got me another Wilkinson for € 1.99 on promotion sale...

Any photos with the tools organized inside?

not yet....it´s locked....

It will cost a few coins more.But it is truly Made in Finland,a circuit board,electrode holders,cabels,housing etc are made here.
(in Europe you can put the made in "country" label even when the machine is barely even assembled here) but the Kemppi goes different road.

hence the price.... a stick welder with about 150 to 160 amps is on my wishlist but there are so many offerings..... Kemppi, Migatronic, Esab, EWM, Lorch, Rehm, Merkle....

Hazet, Facom & Wera:

very nice tools !!!

 

[Mr. Tool]

These also are some really cool torx tools but can anyone tell who exactly is the maker for that T25 that has the screw holder? Where can I buy it at?
ANYONE!?

Robertson 0 driver (square drive)

There wasn't much of a description on Amazon for this screw holding driver. I thought it was slotted, but it's actually a T25. Not something I will ever use but for $1.76 I'll keep it.

I just switched out my Wiha Torx drivers for these PB Swiss drivers.

Could the T15 show PB Swiss' new logo?

 

[Mr. Tool]

Oh yea! An assortment of 'sweet' candy!

@dlfiene

Translucent NOS hard handle collection.

PB Swiss 156/25-175, but I don't see it listed in the 2013 catalog, so it may be tougher to track down. In the US, I'd go directly to ToolLady or the PB Swiss US distributor for the final answer. They might have old stock, too.

 

[shoturtle]

felo makes one as well.

 

[Mr. Tool]

Thanks guys!

I got one of those too. The PB logo is the older one...maybe there handle said PB Baumann as well...i can't remember exactly.

Mr. Tool,

You can also get Wera's Hold-function Torx drivers/bits as well. They hold torx fasteners securely as they are taper ground to wedge itself into the torx head.

 

[Nocturnal-G]

Anyone ever hear of RWJ tools? I saw my first socket set, a friend brought from overseas... The sockets were painted with a blue stripe, all were impact it seemed. Tools were all stamped Germany, came with a metal box. The box itself had a logo that said W. Germany which indicates an older set...

Anyone here know anything about this brand? Wish I took a picture.

Thanks guys!

 

[johnnybentwrench]

Zundapp sounds like soondap

 

[handtools-from-germany]

One of the finest torque wrenches i know ...

I pity you fella. How do you choose which 1/2" ratchet to use?

Do you mind me asking how much the 1/2 foam modules cost?

 

[N.I.]

The postman brought me this today-

Picked it up off eBay for £58 delivered. The title description listed the brand as 'ET'. It must be some new French brand, but it certainly has a German look about it.

Sockets are excellent, only minor gripe is the driver handle is horrible.

Also, the PUR foam insert really is tough stuff and holds everything tight.

 

[Rico.]

@CanUK

Your tools have come on in leaps and bounds since you joined GJ... It's looking really good.
For years I have kept looking at those modules... Lack of space in my toolbox stops me
from getting them. I stil can't believe I've filled up two 27" tripple stacks. I blame this place.

Oh, by the way... That 3/8" drive in the 1/4" body conversion I saw you post up looks
really good. I may just have to do that, could be very handy. All the best Mate.

Ha... "ET" Classic. Hazet is about as German as tools get.... For £58 I think it's worth a
special GJ you **** award for a bargain. Nice one.

LOL yeah it's a bit excessive. It's not been on purpose, but I just seem to accumulate them as parts of various sets or small job lots at bargain prices. I plan to sell off the duplicates when I have time.

The foam modules in general tend to be priced close to the £20 mark including VAT
