Thank you.
Yes, its a MOB/Peddinghaus 300g Ultratec Hammer I have them in three sizes and they have a nice grippy and shock absorbing handle. The siccsors are Garant label but made by Betacut, good handling and good cuts

Those old pics really makes me realise how much the world has changed in only a few years.
That´s difficult !!Monte, my friend.
This one is for you:
Guess what's inside ?
a power tool ?
NWS power tools cool pics !! thanks !!
close up pics please
it´s the same. Peddinghaus is more well known in the german speaking countries hence its distributed here under the Peddinghaus brand, in most other countries under the MOB brand.

From long time ago (5years), i am not impress with "Made in Germany" tools... at least at this price, and that why.... In a middle of my work
I have been using the exact same pliers for over 6 years and the long nose for over 9 years and I replace the snips every year to keep a sharp one for stripping cables. I have never had a handle come off. I use my pliers more for pulling than anything else

What are you pulling on so hard that you pulled the grips off your pliers? Maybe there's a correct tool for what you are doing?
FWIW, I once pulled a grip off a pair of Klein linesman pliers (USA made). Not saying it's normal, but yeah sometimes it happens. I stay away from comfort grips.
If you're going to use a plier to pull straight out that will happen to them all eventually. Technically they're suppose to be used in a turning action. That honestly wouldn't even phase me, slap some super glue or epoxy on that plier and slide the handle right back on. It will be ready for 6 more years of use.
If you need to pull on a plier you want to use one with an angled head so you aren't pulling the handles in a direction they'd slide off.

so it just... fell off?
my kids tell me the toilet backs up on it's own also, conspiracies ya know.
honestly my channellocks lose their handles more than any other tool i've owned. its crazy.
like others have said... a little glue goes a long way, clean up the inside of the handles and the outside of the plier, de-grease it, and throw some superglue on it. bam, good to go for a long long time.

Anyone know anything about this brand - Gross?
I see them a lot in stores around the Balkans. If I remember correctly some of their stuff is made in Germany, some in PRC (like the hammers for example).
This hacksaw is pretty good - comparable to Bahco or better:
Screwdrivers are OK quality, inexpensive. The lines on the tips seem to be more of a gimmick (kinda painted on instead of laser etched). Their screwdriver bits marked are marked S2 as well are pretty good actually, especially for the price. It's rare that I see tools marked S2 steel. What's up with that?
Looking at their online catalog (which is in Russian) their pliers are re-branded NWS.

Welcome to the forum! S2 steel means 'shock resisting' steel, usually used in impact/jackhammer bits. Don't know why they'd use it on a regular pozi screwdriver. If it were a flat screwdriver, shock steel would make more sense. You could use it as a chisel as well, with a metal end cap.
Those paint marks are rather goofy

I thought S2 is just a stronger steel in general. The S2 steel bits I have have keep there squareness on the edges of a Phillips head longer than a CR-V bit. I'm not using these in power or impact drivers just normal screwdrivers.

Their driver bits are actually pretty durable for the price. They're a fraction of the price of Bosch bits and they sell packs of 10. I haven't tried them in an impact driver but they do hold the edge through a lot of abuse. Shame I can only find them in Philips and not Pozi.
It would have been great if the screwdrivers had a metal cap on the back.

.Hello
I found a Pastorino 31I 1/2 ratchet. It has welded spinning part with main body, I think because of internal teeth failure. But except of this has broke square part!! and bended body!
The only good think is that the main body teeth are in good condition and the ratchet is servisable.
Can somebody tell me where can I find service parts? Is it possible to swap from Facom?
and some photos

Hazet 2014 catalog in English with Euro prices
Some other guy is selling 2013 and 2014 english Hazet catalogs on Ebay to make money off them. These catalogs are free (actually the guy who sells them on Ebay got them through me for free) and I don't like that attitude. So I put up some 2014 Hazet catalogs with prices on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/201209509135?item=201209509135&viewitem=&vxp=mtr and if you want one as well, let me know. I also have some 2013 copies with and without Euro prices that you can have for the actual shipping costs. As long as supplies last. PM me if you want one. Shipping is 15US$ each worldwide, the catalogs are free.

I like the Wiha microfinish a lot. The standard ones are a lot cheaper than the HD but they are still double the money of the Hazet so they may not be what you want.

They are good for basic home use, so if you just need them to be there whenever you need the right screwdriver, they are absolutely fine.

If you want a better screwdriver from Hazet, look at this set: http://www.jensputzier.com/Hazet/Hand-Tools/Screwdrivers-Bits/Hazet-802-5-HEXAnamic-Screwdriver-Set.html
The advantage is that you can get all the other 802-series screwdrivers separately in addition to the set.

No, they are not, they are made in a European factory. But I couldn't tell any difference to similar priced german products. Many german manufacturers have own factories all over the European Union or cooperate with them. Most of Hazet's tools are MiG but not all of the screwdrivers.

The ergonomics of the Hazet Hexanamic is excellent! Felo Ergonomic would be an alternative, but I don't have those.
For home use the other series of Hazet would be fine too.

I have all three of those styles.
I find myself using the Felo Ergonic most of the time and they are great. However, the handle on the #2 Phillips - which gets the most use - is getting a little soft almost as if the foam inside the grip is giving up a little. Not a problem yet...
never heard or saw that brand!?!?
btw.: www.gross-tools.com
hmm looks like Facom... When were Facom and Pastorino bought by Stanley and from what year is the Pastorino ratchet....?
And does it pays off to repair it ?

IMO the ergonic is way too soft. Even brand new it gave me cramps after only using it for a short time. I thought I would love them. Turns out I like a firm properly sized grip like Wiha has. All personal preference though. Some people love wera drivers, that's not the way I like to hold a driver so it doesn't work for me.
I don't know what year is it. I can not find any information on the internet or Pastorino catalog etc.hmm looks like Facom... When were Facom and Pastorino bought by Stanley and from what year is the Pastorino ratchet....?
But I think it look like Facom S.151 and must be the that era.
When the S.151 started producing?
Interesting question
I think not but the case is I don't have that type of ratchet (pawl head) and I would like to rebuild this one for fun. Also I have some old sockets in bad looking shape and the sockets need a bad looking friend to be a set

I think they've been around since the 70's, IIRC. They were the first in the world to offer a 72-tooth round head. A revolutionary ratchet at the time, although it took many years before people did away with their skepticism of it's durability.
I have a 2009 catalogue and there's a good bunch of French, German, Italian, and a few Taiwanese tools offered....many of those items found under the various brands under the Stanley group.
Here's a snapshot of the roundhead ...similar to a USAG, Bost, Berner, etc.

Pastorino was founded by Pietro Pastorino as a manufacturer of hand tools for arts and crafts in 1945 in Gemonio, in the province of Varese: the very same town of USAG (Utensileria Sociale Amos Gemonio). The business was initially specialized in the production of "pinzetteria" (surgical instruments).

Utensileria Sociale: does that mean something like a comunal / syndicated utensil production? Is it a state owned entity?
Pinzeta: Isn't a pinzetta = tweezers?
