Yes they do. It also says "kraftform-handle" on box, and all the explanations are same as on the wera box.

Hi Guys,

I'm from Brazil.
A brother in law is going to Romania.
Could you suggest me any nice hand tool from there?
Nothing too weight. Just a hand tool for my tool box that I can say it's "Made in Romania"!

Wow! That Tone 'Next Generation' range is interesting.

There's some unique stuff there, and it looks to me like someone has really thought about the sort of tools you need to work on modern vehicles!

I've only ever seen one Tone tool for real, and that was a 1/2 inch drive ratchet. Good tool, seemed tough, nicely designed, and the finish was superb! Never seen anything else though!

if this stuff is as good, and made in Japan, I'm thinking it'll be popular!

Have they just released that or is it NOS ?

Hi!
I have two pairs of Zerem grip pliers (grandad's heritage) and they are by far the best ones I've ever had in my hands.
Does anyone know what happened to this company? Are they still manufacturing (maybe under another name/company)?
Thank you in advance for any information
P.S. I'll post pics of pliers tomorrow if anybody is interested
P.P.S. sorry for my bad english :/

 

[upgrading]

Your English is fine and please post pics of these Zerem pliers.

 

[MACLOBO]

It was gift from a friend who went to Germany. It's not on the WIHA website so I assume it was a limited edition of some kind.

"ZEREM" was a tool factory located in Remscheid. The brand does not exist anymore - I think it went out of business in the 1960s.

It was founded (as far as I know) by Richard Eugen Zerver, the 3. degree grandnephew of Hermann Zerver (HAZET).

The company buildings still exist and are still owned by the descendants.

@mac_intosh - thank you! Too bad they don't exist anymore :/
Can anyone recommend some good brands of grip pliers (and hopefully not chinese/taiwanese)? I plan to do some welding work, so they will be pretty handy

Here are some pictures

afaik the only company which is left making locking pliers in germany is Bollmann. Gedore produces locking pliers in Austria . They´re nice too. Bollmann pliers will be available cheaper since they´re often sold as no-name products through various retailers/wholesalers (Hoffmann Group/ Wollschläger etc.) (...and as name brand tools from Hazet e.g.) Here some locking pliers prices:
