Tools from the old world

[cosmik binturong]

That's a nice price.

if he gets others, i'll offer them here if people are interested in japanese-made "Stanley" tools at a fairer price...

Hrmm. I'm confused. USA is clearly stamped on this one.:tard:

maybe it's just the patent that is indicated by that "USA" stamping?
or they're made in the infamous city of Usa!

Sounds like a nice little project.

still trying to find a suitable neodymium magnet locally... still no luck.

I know the spec isn't the same, and they're not visually identical, but the simlarity is fairly striking (at least to my eye).

Anyhow the Lidl version is on for £30:

Oee, I want it! Anyone traveling to the Netherlands that want to pick it up for me

Looks identical. No coo on mine.

We have one like yours in work for a few years and works just fine.

Anyone in the UK that likes to pick the cordless drill up for me? PM me please!!

 

[Blöckw@rt]

Does anybody know where the Bahco 111M are made and coincidentally has information about the brand Seneca ?

For what it's worth; I went and had a look - they're probably OK for the price, but wasn't nice enough for me to bother taking one home.

Bahco 111M are made in Spain.

That Gedore looks nothing like Germay's Gedore. But then again, India looks nothing like Germany.

There were so many. Period - the end of the 70s and 80s year

Thanx and muchas gracias CanUK & Bhae

So was it just bad materials, bad manufacturing process or both that made India's output to look like this?

It is difficult to answer your question. Appearance at the wrenches bad. But strong. In the USSR, they were valued

Nice looking tube spanner and welcome to the forum!

Is it pressed or forged, it's difficult to tell from the photo?

Gedore circlip pliers? Are they made in Germany? EU? India? How do they compare to Knipex?

I have a couple of pairs. I think they are brilliant - quality is top notch and they are very strong. Couldn't be happier with them.

I think they are made in Austria.

Haven't got any Knipex to compare them to.

 

[haklamas]

something different

[cosmik binturong]

and now for something totally different and almost unheard of...

a *real* hand tool made in Belgium!

and a quick question for the specialists, is there a manufacturer of this kind of honing brushes as good as this one on this side of the Atlantic:

shipping is killing me everytime and it's what i've found to work best for steel bicycle seat tubes internal finishing...

 

[Norcal]

With all the grinders posted (I was looking at the last 30 pages) maybe we need a grinder thread????

Thanks. I'll be picking them up then.

1980s Gedore spanner, from a Daf Truck



Some over old Gedore tools

 

[node105]

these arrived Friday

 

[Laro13]

What's that tool on the right?

 

[cosmik binturong]

What's that tool on the right?

*click!*

 

[mr_jack]

What's that tool on the right?

A dismantling tool. But I'm not sure those terminal crimpers are "Made in Germany" ...

 

[cosmik binturong]

speaking of "Knipex dismantling tools":

some old japanese stuff i'm trying to get kind of organized while doing other things at the same time...

Shimano TL-CN31 for bicycle chain rivets(yes it's wood, real japanese cherry wood if i'm not mistaken):

almost of legal age this side of the Chunnel, the 2.4V Panasonic screwie that refuses to die and keeps on turning screws:

original bits that were tucked in a small compartment on the side of the charger:

and made in Japan everything:

thnak you very much for producing such a long lasting screwie y'all @ MEW!

we'll buy another one -or two- if it dies!

 

[cosmik binturong]

oops! i forgot to post pics of what the nice postwoman brought us today:

a new vice, a sweet swiss vice!

of course it's a nice Gressel with too much red lipstickery on!

more pics when we'll get time to restore her in her swissed beauty of twenty kilograms...

edit: the wooden structure is what the seller made to protect the vice while journeying through our postal service: wow! <thnaks mister GW!

 

[Laro13]

*click!*

Thanks, Now I get it.

 

[Tomassino]

Bahco 3149-OR toolbox. 56cm. Not sure on COO? Quite nicely built.

Old Japanese ratchet my father used in the '60s/'70s. Only marks are: "Cr-Mo Steel Japan F" Any ideas of manufacturer?

Wiha SoftFinish T25x100 Torx Tamperproof screwdriver

Elora 1/2" Breaker Bar (very impressed with how well made this is)

Gordon 14mm/15mm Ring Spanner

King **** 8mm/9mm Ring Spanner

Finally, I had to pick up an Opinel No. 9

 

[node105]

'dismantling tool' ; cat5/6... cable insulation stripper; very easy . Cable goes in longitudinally, slight twist just to score the outer insulation, easy pull (finger tab) to remove

Also has wire strippers on side

 

[node105]

Hmmm. The Crimping Pliers for Western plugs are not stamped with made in germany, the box is marked 'Knipex Quality'.

My others are: Preciforce Crimping pliers 'Made in Germany', and Self-Adjusting Insulation Strippers 'Germany'

Only the packing of the Dismantling Tool for data cables is labelled 'made in germany.
My collection of Knipex cir clip pliers are all stamped 'Made in Germany'

I note the implication of being stamped 'Knipex Germany' and Made in Germany' too. The difference has to suggest they are trying to fudge it.

So one has to assume that by omission of either 'Knipex Germany' or Made in Germany', the 97 51 10 is NOT made in Germany.

So Knipex I can no longer trust. Sad.
