Ridiculous comparison. That's when you need a ratcheting wrench.I think the picture is Monte's.
The head is bulky so I will choose Bahco/Snap-On over the Hazet for work in very confined areas like motorcycles. On cars I have never encountered a problem with them.
The head ist also a bit wobbly. But nonetheless, the Hazet finetooth ratchet are good quality, especially if you use the 1/2" with a cheater pipe.
Keep in mind that the left/right selector switch on the Hazet is recessed.
I have a Hazet 3/8" finetooth ratchet which ist very slim from pre-1990 (Made in W.-Germany) that has 60 teeth I think and a slim head in comparison with the new one. The style is like 60 teeth Stahlwille or Facom.
I will post pictures next week.
I would love to try a 90 teeth Nepros but they are very rare in Germany - I don't know someone who owns KTC or Nepros tools.
I have worked with a 144 teeth, 2.5° swing arc ratchet from taiwanese company Triangle Tools. The ratchet is called 'Nano' an was sold under KS Tools ('Turbo' ratchet) in Germany. The pair of 1/4" and 3/8" was very cheap on Sears (it was ~30$) but for more than a month now it is no longer offered. The website from the manufacturer is down, too...
I was very impressed how good they perform and how effortless the ratchet mechanism works.
Those might be worth a try.
And if someone can help me out and has a set of these Nano ratchets in new or mint condition he no longer needs/wants, send me a PM.

NOS William Whitehouse signature series 3/4 lb. ball peen hammer and a size 1 rawhide hammer.
Wow! Those really are old stock - don't think I'd like to guess quite how old, but superb quality!
Where on earth did you find Them?

Is Komet related to Wera ?

Based purely off the handle design, I'd say yes

Which isn't a great design by the way. Might look good. But not good for either high torque or high speed.
When turning a lot of screws when there's a lot of friction, the handle design being good or not becomes abundantly clear.
My vote goes for the Wiha SoftFinish as the most comfortable. Although there are many other modern designs which are excellent, too.
Old hard handle designs like Craftsman are the worst.

That felo most be for the Friday afternoon
The feel great in your hand by the way.
The (weird) looking grips are from Belzer and it has a pattent, on the picture the same one but then from BMC MFG. Corp USA also patented.
I dont know from who the original patent was.
The second on is a very handy and complicated looking Dowidat. Still in production by Bahco today.

Just picked up this Stahlwille wrench.
Anyone know the specific purpose of it?
My search turned up empty.
The reverse side simply says "Made In Germany"

Makita LXT Brushless 1/2dr Impact Wrench. Brand new, just came out. It looks so sweet and the first compact impact wrench to rival the milwaukee FUEL, I couldn't resist. Made in Japan too.
Bosch EC Brushless 1/2dr Impact Wrench. Made in Malaysia, does that count?

Due to a 30% reduction in price today at my local 'home depot' and a €20,- cash back on specific Bosch models at the moment I decided to buy a couple more Bosch items (hobby purposes):
The POF 1200 AE was made in the PRC.
The PMF 190E was made in Hungary.

Due the 22 mm offset, I would guess that is for a generator or alternator pulley. Have to be a heck of a large starter motor to have 22 mm mounting bolt heads.
It could be VW air cooled, and its been a long time, but maybe the engine to gearbox mounting bolts; I remember getting at the bolt head facing forward, i.e. outside the engine compartment, an offset would have helped ( after the transverse tinware was removed, but I don't recall if that was 22mm, more like 19mm or 17mm.

VW/Porsche generator pulley was either 21 or 36 mm depending on when and where. Bell housing bolts and nuts were 17 mm. I did those with a ratchet box end on top and a swivel below. The two big bolts that held the trans mount cradle to the frame fork ends were 30 mm. The 21 mm stuff was so the sparkplug/wheelnut socket in the toolkit could be used.
nice looking impact !
Doesn´t look very comfortable
