Tools from the old world

[Vidar Wulff]

What's that 'goldish' color on all of these tools?

Well they are "silver" in real life.I didnt notice the gold color myself.I live in the arctic so the light of the midnightsun maybe played a role,and next to where i made the photos i have a signal orange porsche 914, so sometimes my workshop glows.

 

[Vidar Wulff]

Got some Nos stuff today,a bunch of norwegian Geilo,a Hazet and a Palmera screwdriver.Bought in two different shops.All these tools was kind of hidden,and just collecting dust,on display rows of cheap chinese tools.Strange world,got the tools cheaper then the chinese tools.....go figure

IIRC they had this set on display at the hardware fair and the lady said they only have this set right now to see if the customers like it and because the other companies have such stainless steel tools too.












some Dremel accessoires for my new Bosch: sanding bands, EZ Drum™/SpeedClic mandrel and collet set

(coo USA + Mexico)

the collets fits the Bosch tool too, so you also can use all Dremel and Proxxon accessoires: (Proxxon mostly use 2.4mm (2.35mm) shafts) The 3.2mm collet also works with the 3mm Proxxon shafts.

as the Official Hand Tools Minister of Germany you should only have to send them an Official Production Order of one complete Edelstahl Torx set. with my address for delivery, of course.

even Madame Angela knows that it's good to export tools to broke countries like France, just have a look at all those german tools in the tool boxes of our greek members!

it´s garden season !!

missing some japanese gardening tools me says.

but that neighbour of yours has good taste.

...i dunno if it´s good...because they get our tools and we worthless paper money ...if they would pay with gold on the other hand....

missing some japanese gardening tools me says.

Do they make gardening tools ?
i think we have many nice manufacturers over here like Felco, Berger, Löwe, Burgon + Ball, Sneeboer, Krumpholz, Ideal, Baack, Gränsfors, Bahco, Tina, Haws ...just to mention a few...

but that neighbour of yours has good taste.

That´s right

the Marvel ME-22 is the best partner of the stripper, first one cuts the second strips.

...better than the Jokari type automatic strippers ?

for what i use it for, yes even better than the Weidmüller, Knipex, e-Robur, Jokari, Facom and a few other i have too...

but the little green Snabbing is gaining more use for hard cable.

looks like a small butcher saw...



ps. Monte, is your address still the same?

 

[kris ltc]

they are, i almost got an identical Hazet branded version with yellow translucent handles a few years back but the seller was a bit unresponsive...

here another new toy the KNIPEX RAPTER

DOG are not included!!!

why not included? too big for a big flat rate box?

seems to be thinking "oh noes! there he goes again, how many times should i tell him that i'm not a tool modeling goggie!"

Awesome strippers, I recently bought a pair of similar vbw strippers back from the grave. They looked bad and were frozen solid, but all they needed was some TLC. Does anyone know if you can buy the handles like the ones on the elora strippers above?

Anyway ive been overhauling a few electric motors recently so I bought a thor nylon faced hammer and a few rennsteig punches:



Also cleaned my tools and decided to take a photo of the old world gear in my toolbag. Knipex and wiha (swiss made?) Pliers, felo screwdrivers with wiha terminal driver, hazet 1/4" socket set, a gedore 13x10 open ender and a lonely boker 2ba nut driver (I'm a instrumentation tech/electrician btw):

 

[kris ltc]

you might need this

i get the elora with my friend(as a gift) ,so... can't give you any info for that sorry pal!

some manufacturers are nice enough to send you, free of charge or not, the handles if you do ask nicely(Bost did as well as Beta), but if you cannot get them from a manufacturer, best thing is buying cheap flea market pliers with nice handles and do a transplant.

you do have good taste.

and clean tools too!

Is there some kind of an EU regulation that all pliers must have those huge clunky plastic handle covers? I can see very thin ones, but the big ones make using the pliers clumsy. They also take up too much room in a belt pouch.

Knipex and most European manufacturers (at least German ones) produce handles similar to the channellock style as well. Such as:

It's possible to find some without handles at all and just the bare metal from the 80s/90s and older but I'm not aware of any company that makes them presently.

Personally I like the bulkier handles, thinner ones tend to hurt my hand if I'm using them often.

ok i´ll try to source some

nope my new adress:

in the meantime you can use my old adress because i dunno if the new one already works

Is there some kind of an EU regulation that all pliers must have those huge clunky plastic handle covers?

quite possible

but I'm not aware of any company that makes them presently

Knipex used to offer a pair of diagonal cutters until 1 or 2 years ago with bare handles: part# 70 04 140

I notice that the connector looks like a hose connector, and not a quick connect. Is it intended for permanent installation or just that you make your own short whip and put a quick connector at the end?

Thor hammers look really good. They have succeeded in having a unique design!

Nice tool set!

^ what he said.

It seems that comfort handles are more of a European thing. Here comfort handles on pliers and ratchets are the standard. Bahco has even made it sort of a brand identity to produce ergonomic tools, and for all brands ergonomics are usually presented as a selling point for professional use items.. The dipped handles are usually the "budget choice".

That being said, here are my new Knipex 180mm pliers wrenches with dipped handles

Not the first time the pliers wrenches are in this thread, but they are good enough to be posted many times I think!

Bought from the one and only Cosmic Binturong. And that means bonus items:

KWB drill depth stops.
SAM 5mm combination wrench (Made in France)
3 Bosch reciprocating saw blades
4 Whia long torx bits (2 x T25 and 2 x T30)
Duck bill pliers, Peugeot (Made in France). Restored
