Another arrival today. Complete sets (6-32mm) of flat and offset metric ring spanners by Format. Really pleased with these; the quality seems very good and the pricing is outstanding. The only issue seems to be that one of the two flat spanners I ordered (the 25x28) to make the 10pc set a 12pc set seems to be older stock with a different design as you can see in the photos below. I'll contact the distributor and try to arrange for a replacement:

This pic doesn't show it very well but the beams are nice and thick, with a rectangular profile.

Who produce this format wrenches? Thanks...

They're generally rebranded German brands. I think most of these might be Elora (or Elora pattern) and the odd 25x28mm a Gedore(?).

I have Format hammers that are Gedore/Habero, offset screwdrivers that are Wiha etc...

Casals cordless screwdriver. Casals is a brand well known in my country (Spain). Don't look bad... we will see.

A couple more deliveries today. Apologies for the poor photo quality; my phone takes horrible pictures. I'll try to get some better images.

I'm working on getting some more organisation, but here's my screwdriver drawer after a quick tidy up (I'm not sure if I should admit it, but I actually have a set of Wiha on my pegboard and a few stashed in a box still - future-proofed :lol: :dunno:)

Here we have a tray of Wiha slots, Pz0-4, Ph0-4, stubbies, Torx set, the Magic ring hex set, loads of spares, a Facom set, Facom stubbies, Halfords set, Wera VDE set, a couple of PicQuic drivers and packs of spare hex and torx blades, my free Felo, some Format (Wiha) offset drivers and some cheap precision (haha) drivers.

And my pliers drawer -poor things without even a proper drawer liner to rest on:

Nice car! They don't sell Alfas here (USA) :dunno:, except for their $200,000 super car. I have been waiting for their return for years.

A few more pics.

It works! 8mm and 6mm drivers. No tricks; I'm not applying any leverage to try and force any more grip. I can actually give it a pretty good shake and it still holds. They make a nice little "click" when inserted into the screw.

And for fun a Ph2. Again no leverage -it just grips (although it won't tolerate the same shaking the magic ring hex does).

Monte, what do you think about Saltus tools? Are they German made? I'm interested in socket sets... Thanks...
