Tools from the old world

[cosmik binturong]

Hey now, I only owe him $140

bought a single small socket, eh?

Well I'm pretty sure they don't make SAE sizes for the 14 series. Lo ng pattern iirc. So it's open box 13A for me

you may be pretty but not sure: *clicky!*

did you miss this one while running after that Snappy truck?

 

[Trucky]

Yep! One socket... 20$. Meh. My payment is only 10 and change.. haha.

And I would love to get my hands on a 14A-3/4 but I doubt I'd find one stateside.

Also considered picking up a FD+ 3/4... But it's 44$ !! Maybe later....

 

[Phobo]

Good price for the 2" must be 'Made in Spain' ?!?

I’am a real fetishist of pipe wrenches and waterpump pliers.

Gruß nach Österreich.

It says nothing on the label but dont think that its made in germany for that price. Surprisingly they had some no name chinese **** as well that was priced higher.

quite a collection of QR rats...

I even have some more (guess 4 1/4 so far) but I think I might sell most of them. Looking for some Armstrong ratchets but they are very hard to find. Only way would be importing from either the UK to avoid customs or US.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice impact wrench !!! how do you like it ????

So far I have loosen up 4 lug nuts and glad it has more than enough power. Originally I wanted to buy the smaller version (180nm I think) but I had concerns about stuck nuts that are very tight so I upgraded to the HT version.

Congrats on your new job.

You know this means pics right?

yes but it might take a while + I first want to ask but dont think its a big deal for them.

My favorite combination wrench! I doesnt mean the new and shiny one The old bahco pu sweden is used well since the late -70! I am not sure about the year, but Bahco Pu Argentina begins in late 1980 as well! So the order are: Stockholm,Sweden,Argentina,pu and the bahco 1952m is the new Pu i thing, (its look like that anyway)! I have only cleaned this old bad boy and its in very good condition, almost like new i should say! <a href="http://www.pictures.se/bilder/Nz3UD.jpg"><img src="http://www.pictures.se/bilder/Nz3UD.th.jpg" border="0" /></a>

 

[Phobo]

yesterday I put the Bosch Impact wrench to the test we salvaged an old 5 series
It really was a breeze to work with and also convinced my friend. Only problem I see its not the lightest but still ok for that amount of power. We were able to get every nut and bolt out of the car except for the screw that is holding the crank.

 

[Mitkoasd]

Hi guys and greetings from Bulgaria! Glad to see you great tools and threads. They are just wonderful. Here is some photos for ''tools in action'' thread- My new flea market find just for 2 E - DOWIDAT 27-25 very useful wrench i think-

Soon i'll try to find a time to photo and upload the photos of other new tools.

Miskin: I'm coming to Athens on sunday. I think my girlfriend would be thrilled if I spent an evening or two just talking and swapping tools with you instead of going to a restaurant or any of those boring activities

Or not...

Welcome to Athens my friend! Unfortunately (fortunately for me and my family!) i'm on vacation!!! Now i'm on my father-in-law's cottage outside Athens, a village called Foxvillage and i'm leaving for Zakynthos in a few days.
Athens is in August. I hope you are scheduled to go to an island or seaside to enjoy the sea!

 

[candikid]

Thank you Miskin

Yes we are indeed going to stay on an island or two, probably the whole stay. Though we have not decided on an island yet. We're thinking Paros, 'cause I remember that as a nice island since I was there as a child.

Anyways, I'm not gonna hijack this thread. Continue to have a nice vacation

Your origin is Greek?

Good suggestion

That would be fantastic too see where all of the best Tools are beeing made.

Are there any guided tours of the factories?

 

[Monte]

hey! that's not funny... she's starting to say "how come you're getting *more* tools by post than you send away?"

same principle like a bank. You give your money to the bank and it multiply
(well not always )

you're welcome...
note though, that yours should have been quite cheaper since i asked you for a *pair* of bit sets. guess for whom the second one would have been for? (hint: that person does have a nice little Festool CXS )

oooops maybe i read "a pair of bits" but i thought 2 bits is too little for you sorry that the person with the CXS has no bits now..... .........oh wait.......thank you !!

yes there's one:
with a screwdriver handle attached!

how big is that handle ? My chuck only goes up to 13mm !

no no no! no red one!

wooden-handled, ********, efficient and old school, all at the same time...

.....and from Gedore

Nice, first bosch brushless drill but max torque 18nm ?

[Monte]

Nice, first bosch brushless drill but max torque 18nm ?

the current model has 30NM max.... i don´t know if there is a mistake somewhere
The new brushless tools will be even shorter with 163mm (instead 169mm) for the drill and 135mm (instead 148mm) for the driver. (hopefully that info is correct )

any coo on the package of the Alko ?

Yes it can be a mistake, the current 10.8 is it's quite strong drill, good torque

"Imported by AL-KO"

East Europe, Taiwan, China.......who knows ?

 

[bastio]

Hi monte
I read your subject and most of the other members comment, I really learned a lot about the tools.
I worked in the air conditioning and central heating, I found the key to tightening wurth strong, but it is heavy and Not comfortable,especially in confined spaces

for a tightening key Wisent, Is it made ​​in Germany?
Because the writing is blurred (germany)

 

[Blöckw@rt]

A Wisent wrench marked with Germany ? /a better pic would be nice/

Where do you buy it, Bauhaus ?

 

[bastio]

Blöckw@rt

A Wisent wrench marked with Germany ?

I know the "wisent" it is Germany, But I do not know is it forged

Where do you buy it, Bauhaus ?

I bought someone brought from Spain, I bought this 5 spanners

 

[Phobo]

"Imported by AL-KO"

East Europe, Taiwan, China.......who knows ?

are you sure? my lawn mower that I just bought was made in Austria and engineered in germany:

Bosch Blue in action. I wish they would make a protective sleeve. The aluminium front is really easy scratched.

 

[Blöckw@rt]

are you sure?

I’m not sure, but it looks suspicious.

 

[Lasu]

@ Phobo
The Snap-on protective vinyl boot fits just fine.

 

[Phobo]

@ Phobo
The Snap-on protective vinyl boot fits just fine,price is good also.

nice - do you have a part number?
getting snap on stuff here in austria is not that easy but lets see.

 

[mr_jack]

@ Phobo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that red vinyl also covering the motor's air outlets? I think it ***** air from behind, through the inlets by the brushes and throws it out at the front right above the trigger, and so it cools down the motor.
If you cover that up ... I think damaging the motor is inevitable.

@ Mr Jack
Hi,the air outlet vent is not there.

+vinyl is easy to cut. But So boot is good for the bosch guns,both models.

So be it.

I looked at the previous picture closely.
Your impact ain't the same as Phobo's. His is with Li-Ion battery and yours Ni-Mh ... I think?

My first guess would be Matador, since I´ve found both Wisent-marked tools on the Matador-hooks in Bauhaus, and the opposite (Matador-marked on the Wisent...you get the idea...). But that was before Matador changed to the more glossy Taiwan-finish. Only german made Matadors left in Bauhaus here are double ring end spanners ("meat-bones").

Hello,
Some tools made in the times of West Germany

pliers VIP-FIT

Here a combination wrench 3/8 no manufacturer's mark, along with a Spanish Acesa

could be....the Matador website claims that they currently produce tools for 28 other brands...
