That 1/2 set looks like a blue point

I bet it isn't half the quality of blue point. Time will tell I only picked it up today as I need it for my new job maintenance in a tortilla producer. Working on Lawrence bread making machinery. Until now iv never owned any sae tools but these machines are American. I tend to keep all my tools at home king Tony.

Unfortunate about the COO.
Looks cool.
Is that button on the handle a lock for the flexhead ?

yes,it's a button for head lock,but i have no idea how good it holds,how deep are the locking dents,will the head wobble etc etc,ill visit the local bauhaus tomorrow so i can see it in person.

and seems like this type of matador roto is same as KS roto,who makes them in taiwan?

Probably company X that ended up winning the bid for a manufacturing contract. Cost per volume is more than likely a crucial factor for the buyers (KS Tools / Matador / Heytec / SW Stahl / BGS / Carolus / KraftWerk / Force / Teng / etc.)



That KS Tools Roto Ratchet bears a strong resemblance to the Wera Zyclops.

A strong resemblance? :headscrat

The only resemblance is that it's a swivel head ratchet. :) ....which has been around for over half a century. ;)

Not exactly old world but I like them already. Master set from 6 to 32mm (skipping 31).
USAG 285 is identical to Facom 440 but in a satin finish (Facom 440 seems to be all shinny) except for the open ended jaws which are polished.

Thinking of putting my Made in France Facom open end spanner set up for sale, got too many spanners right now :)

They appear to be short are they? Are they 44 or 440 can't quite tell from the photo but possibly N=44.

44 is the double open ended spanner type from Facom, 440 is the combination spanner type. Length wise, the 30x32mm spanner is about 30cm long.
