$32.28 shipped with some bonus points I had to use up before they expired.
I know they were cheaper by about $4 last year, but this price was good enough for me.

This year I stayed several days in Freiburg, right in the center of the Black Forest, the most beautiful scenic place in Germany.
Part of the city tour was visiting Museum of Modern Art.

Nice sculpture, isn't it?

And finally the installation that catched my attention:

Whose is this brand?
looks like one of the cheap sub-brands from Heyco... works fine but lacks a bit in the cosmetics department.
It is the "better" version build in 2010 and I like it.
Wera 900, in daily use since a few years.
Welcome to the forum !
Nice old Hazet drivers !
Maybe: http://www.fairtool.hu/fileadmin/user_upload/Katalogusok/Szakmai_katalogusok/Heyco/HEYNEN-2012.pdf
so the new version has the silver "front end". I´ll see if i can find one for a good price
There is also a new Bosch 10,8 volt flash light coming out since the pliers didn´t fit exactly in the Gedore tool trays i used my heat gun
to heat the plastic ...
...and the tool itself to form the plastic:
it fits !
some more heating (200 degree celsius, about 10 seconds)...
...and forming...
and everything fits
New "Knipex" angled head pliers:

Thanks for posting Monte! They look nice, are they going to offer them in a comfort grip version?

I've got some Knipex mini bolt cutters that look very similar to the HKP ones.

Yes, the Orbis Evo line ones. Haven't seen one in real, but sure look good.
Orbis is also part of the Knipex group.
My todays arrivals:
VBW mechanic's snipe nose pliers, long-nose pliers 575 0 15 and
VBW mechanic's snipe nose pliers 574 1 15.
Just wanted to try VBW.
The operating is not as smooth as with the Knipex or NWS ones.
Maybe I have to try Keiba
.I know, the pics are crappy

I really wish Knipex or NWS would make a long nose (11") plier set.
I´m not sure, but over here they offer them with comfort handles: http://www.orbis-werk.de/index.php?id=96&L=1
but it seems americans prefer dipped handles ?

me too
OrbisWill makes them:

seen 'em, branded as "Ironside", but the shop owner wasn't enthusiastic enough to let me fondle them or even take pics inside the shop, that made me way less enthusiastic about buying anything from him...
he might have thought i was casin' the joint for later!
nice ones, will have to see if the joint gets smoother in time...My todays arrivals:

I can vouch that the screwdriver is German made and very high quality (regular FELO tool)
I have the Felo Smart II 29 pieces set and I like it. The sockets are stamped "Stahl", I think they are made by SW-Stahl, a company in Germany. They all have a matt finish, which is typical of tools made in Germany. But I am not sure whether SW-Stahl made them in Germany or outsourced them. The quality of the sockets seems to be on par with the SK and Proto sockets which I own, but I have little chance to test their strength and durability.
PS: My first post in garagejournal in reply of a four-year old post, haha. Just want to give some information.

For those in the US interested in hose Orbis pliers, Matco has been offering them:
Crazy price though: http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/SPA3/3-PIECE-ANGLED-PLIER-SET/
I think you should.

Thanks for the links Monte! I wonder if I can get these through my Knipex distributor? I like the comfort grips personally, but if I worked with heavy gloves on, I can see where the dipped handles may be preferred.

are they serious with those prices?
shouldn't be surprised though, trans-Atlantic crossing is a code word for unleashing wallet-bleeding leeches on unsuspecting tool purchasers... *clicky!*
me too!I think you should.

a couple of days ago added this to the tool set; Festool DF 500 Domino
Cut some mortises on the Domino this afternoon with a couple of mates, fantastic! Soooo quick, snug as and clean. Instant convert.
On part of the casting where it appears to have been linished off, the finish is a bit inconsistent with the rest of the tool, absolutely no impact on the performance, just a aesthetic thing.
A brilliant bit of kit.

Also picked up a Festool Jigsaw, good weight, so much smoother than my Metabo.
A left hand extension for the Kapex arrived today; having just re-organised my tiny workspace, I now need the right hand extension (duly ordered).
The 12 drawer Systainer is a peach. It replaces a Sortimo; no more getting the Sortimo down off the shelf, sliding drawers and configurable drawer dividers, and it stacks.

These arrived courtesy of Ebay this morning:
1970's Britool still in their unopened packets. Not sure if I can bring myself to open them!

node105 Very nice tool collection from Festool that you have there. My girlfriends sister works for Festo in Esslingen and is fortunately able to get somewhat of a discount. Did you buy your Festool products new, and if so where from?

Those are awesome!! I say, keep them NOS!
Node105,
Wow, spendy stuff you have. I'd like to see some things you create using those tools.
i think Ash from http://www.german-hand-tools.com/ once sold some Orbis pliers. I would try to contact him.

I wouldn't open them! You can always open them if you want, but you can never close them once they're open... I really love those old Britool tools
I would have a Keiba but they are more than 50 Euros in Germany.nice ones, will have to see if the joint gets smoother in time...
and 3.peaks and Fujiya and Tsunoda and Marvel and, and... well, you get the point.
For that I can buy nearly three Knipex the same size and I don't think the Keiba is three times better than a Knipex
.Nice one.The tool: Fein Multimaster FMM 350 Q
What is your opinion on it? Is it that better than the predecossor?

get them in Japan then, it's way cheaper.
