I grew up using them all the time, so my fingers can attest to how sharp they are! Will order one along with this, Gransfors Bruks Forest Axe - had my eye on it for awhile thanks to this thread!!

Thats a very nice axe !! I love These Hand forged Tools !! :drool:

very interesting, id love to go to one of these type of exhibition, they aren't widely advertised though (and often you need to be trade from what I have seen)





I Didn't know Wera sold torque wrenches, and interestingly those appear to be rebranded Sykes-Pickavant "Motorque" ones (most Sykes-Pickavant torque wrenches are UK made, not sure if its by themselves though

Wow... sweet pictures Monte!

New Wera stuff! And I see new Hazet screwdrivers... with huge metal caps!

Does anyone know if I can find a butane torch made in Germany? I saw the Rosle torch and Proxxon... Rosle was advertised as for kitchen use and the Proxxon I couldn't find a COO.

I saw Portasol that's made in Ireland as well... and looks to be the supplier to Snap On.

I thought they were made by Norbar all this time? Beta offers the same as well.

Wera just recently started with the torque wrenches.

I think I've seen them in a print catalogue from 2007.

Are those interchangeable heads on the bottom left corner? Do they attach to an end of a torque wrench?
Who makes the impact tools for Hazet? Chinese/Taiwanse? ...or German?

Rothenberger torches - made in Germany - my butane torches for brazing and soldering copper pipes (and making creme brulee...:drool:) are for sure. No-nonsense tools, good prices in Bauhaus too. Their website says "60% in-house production" so cant´t be sure :dunno:.

For that price, I would buy it quickly.
Fein make some of the best grinders in the world.

I do not understand why the speed is so small compared to the Bosch, Makita, Metabo...
Grinder is from year 1999, ist full German made or ?

I have Wurth SWS 230 (fein 25-230), and I know they are very good ! But for 125 mm grinder this speed is low or ???

The speed is better for stainless steel and some flap discs for grinding and polishing works better and last longer if speed is 6000-8000min^-1

Bosch makes 14-125 inox 125mm 2200-7500min^-1

I think Norbar is the OEM

Wera just recently started with the torque wrenches.

they offer torque wrenches since several years. The one pictured below is new though:

yes new Jokers in SAE and metric !

small ones like the Portasol ??? I´m not aware that somebody make them here.... you usually see rebadged Portasols too, like from "Ersa"
http://ersa.com/cat-gas-soldering-irons-und-sets-358-373.html

Larger torches like this: http://www.perkeo-werk.de/cms/website.php?id=/en/productsp1_68.htm might be made here but i´m not sure
www.perkeo-werk.de

The Proxxon tool most likely is made in Taiwan or China.

yes exactly !

The air Tools are most likely made in China/Taiwan.

I have a Wurth torque wrench which look exactly the same as this one but red instead of green.
I will take a pic today ;-)

What do you think about the model FEIN WSG 12-125, provided the images on this link original fein???
http://www.njuskalo.hr/rucni-strojevi-alati/prodajem-malu-brusilicu-fein-wsg-12-125-oglas-1611034
Is this a good model and price of 90 eur??
I ask your opinion my dear forumers !!!

I see 7000 min^-1, bosch, metabo,makita, flex 125 mm have a speed 11000 min^-1 ???

the Price is very good, it also appears to be new ? ..or almost new ??
However i would look for the WSS 12-125 with 10.000 rpm... or buy both :D

I do not understand why the speed is so small compared to the Bosch, Makita, Metabo...
Metabo, Flex, Bosch, Cibo, Eisenblätter and Suhner have similar models for working with stainless steel.

Grinder is from year 1999, ist full German made or ?
most likely yes.

Monte, it's new Fein, how do you think they would behave in cutting ordinary steel ?

honestly i have never tried to cut something with my 7000 rpm grinder....but imagine a normal angle grinder but it´s 30 - 40% slower when cutting....

the typical application for a (adjustable) 7000rpm grinder:

Some Torx ball ends, a magnetic quick release holder and some precision screwdrivers.
Don`t know why they`re all so dirty, the same thing happened to my Felos, even though I bought them from another dealer.

I think it might be cardboard dust on the packaging that gets all over the tools inside (and the plastic handles have an electrostatic charge to attract it).

The Wiha magnetic quick release holder is like this below? I found it on ebay.de cheap, because Gedore's magnetic quick release holder is pricey (25 €).

And I think you`re right

It`s this one and I paid ~19 € for it.

Looks good ! :drool:

:thumbup: i´ve seen some Bahco bow saws "Made in Portugal" too :pimpflash

Bahco made in Portugal have a high quality finish. :)

Nothing wrong with Portugal....
But Bahco made in Portugal ? In my optics: That´s not :lol: - that´s :sad:
Real Bahco is made in Sweden...

Hey, that's rebuildable....and looks like it's sourced from the same company BluePoint/Snap-on gets theirs from. Does it also have a dual-80 mechanism in it?

Hello!
I'm from Peru and I just registered in this forum. Screwdrivers and bought some at the store told me they were Germans, as were some doubts I still decided to investigate on the web and I came across this interesting forum.
I leave a couple of photos are of the brand HKR (if anyone knows more about this brand would appreciate).

This one screwdriver I found after buying the above, I notice he has some different details, I guess because it's old.

Welcome to the forum Luis. I have never seen those screwdrivers before but I'm sure someone will find out something.

The bottom screwdriver is probably from 1990 or older since West (and East) Germany ceased to exist in 1990 and became Germany. Although the stamping could have been used after that.

Anyways, have a seat and enjoy this wonderful forum. :beer:

Hi Luis and welcome among the nerds!
Your screwdrivers are VDE-marked (german approval for working on live electrics). You can find HKR on the web http://www.hkr-werkzeuge.de/indexhigh.htm.
Not much information though, except the "Made in Germany", always a quality mark. From the pictures you can see that they also supplys hammers from Heyco, and the company is situated in Remmscheid, the No. 1 "toolcity" in Germany.
