it´s just a tool holder with a little screw on top so you can attach cutting discs or grinding wheels.
I own the Micromot 50/E die grinder but i usually use the Proxxon IBS/E die grinder which i own too because it has more power and because i can directly plug it into a 230 volt power outlet.
wow cool ! Do you know the age ?

It is a PB Swiss one. Garant is the house label of Hoffmann Group, they sell under this label: Stahlwille, PB Swiss, Betacut, Wera, VBW, Ko-Ken, Leinen vices, Lista cabinets and some other quality brands. I haven´t purchased any pice of **** from them. (I own screwdrivers, bit sets, sockets wrences...)

They sell Holex as well, correct? I have gentlemen that I work with regularly and they have some tools by Holex. They cost a but less I think?? But the guys seem happy with them. I don't know about Holex COO.

I meant that nothing of the stuff was ****, all good. Regarding the Holx brand I cant say that all the time. Holex is mostly taiwan stuff, some is good some not.
concirning quality brands and pice of ****.. I killed too many Hazet items...

Ay suggest Ingelitch laissons.
Very disappointing to see Metabo score so low. And for the price Fein thinks they can ask it's also a shame they only came in second.
Is Kress very common in Europe now? What's the COO? EDIT: Oh made in Germany.
They also have some sweet looking cordless tools. Are they any good?

Some PB Swiss purchases from the ubiquitous U.S. Back Friday sales. Or for all you foreign devils: Schwarze Freitag. Or Viernes *****. Or Vendredi Noir.
Read that wrong, m'excusi!
Are those garant branded pieces of **** cheaper than the 'real' ****?

A quick break down and description of what I like/use more frequently:
Left drawer:
*Large 225 Knipex Combo Pliers / Lineman Pliers: Beefiest pliers I own and use these for the jobs requiring the most strength.
*165 chrome Knipex Pliers & 180 NWS Silver/yellow Pliers: Love these two and usually one or the other is in my pocket at all times.
*Knipex 6-in-1 is great and has its place when I need multiple tools in one--no kidding!
Right drawer:
*The hose cutters in the rear are absolutely amazing and I wish I bought these long ago. They cut like a hot knife through butter!
*2 x Knipex plain red handle dykes and end nippers are great for tight spots
*The fantastico **** has to be MY FAV tool in the entire box. This thing will cut nearly anything and if it can't I bump things up to the angled cobolt cutter. Job done.
*Front section you've got your standard grippers of various sizes all which have their purpose.

My god! Havn't seen one of those sets in years!
My Grandfathers best mate had an Accles and Pollock set too, but It featured a red painted ratchet and some extensions too I think. That set was dated early 20th century if I recall correctly, but yours looks like a generation older than that!
The Metabo couldn´t make a hole with the 35mm forstner bit and couldn´t drive "longer screws". The Fein couldn´t drive the 5x100mm test screw into oak, and had problems with the forstner bit. Both drills run 4000rpm while the others are slower and/or have a more powerful motor so they have more torque. If they would test a different drill e.g. the Metabo BE4010 with 2850rpm or the new BE 500/10 then the result would be probably different. For drilling applications with twist drill bits they should work fine
Don´t know of Europe but here in Germany they´re not that common anymore since the 2 big box stores who offered Kress dropped them a while ago and because of the "big box image" the professional retailers dropped them too (at least in my city, there is only 1 retailer left) . So you can buy them only in the internet.....they´re more common as a OEM for other companies like Wurth, Flex, Eibenstock, Protool,Mafell, Spit etc....
The cordless drills usually receive good reviews in forums and at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0044YOSN8/
their other tools too:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0028S19X4/
So it seems good quality at a good price.
nice PB haul
awesome pliers drawers !

Not the whole boat. They don't have 30% off anymore but I think you can still get 20% or so till the end of the year. Check their U.S web site

Well, without knowing all the details, there must be a reason they chose those particular Fein and Metabo models for the comparo, may be price range?
As to Kress, another European tool brand we'll probably never see here in North America.
