You seem to have resisted the influence of this board about as well as I have...I got a few photos while reorganizing my toolbox today.
I didn't get pictures of everything while it was out of my box so the next few photos have some non "old world" tools in them as well
It's scary how similar our boxes mirror each other aside from the hex wrenches.
Great stuff!

The big three
Wow those Wiha's look really nice, what is the part number on them?
No Gedore, VBW or Orbis ?
Unfortunately no! I tried to get vbw pliers but shipping to Australia is very expensive, and logic usually gets in the way. I might have to look on Amazon.de, that's where all the good stuff is
Wiha 32818, they're quite hard to find if you don't live in the US though. They're almost too pretty to use.

That is an interesting Gedore, both box ends going the same direction.
Here is an older looking Wera bit screwdriver,recent flea market find. Neat thing is it has both collar and magnet bit retention. Any age help on this one?

A few tools I purchased at ebay for €15 (incl. shipping)
Highlight …..the ultra rare GEDORE No.3...... I've never seen before !
How rare is the equivalent Dowidat?

Made in Turkey according to the Q & A over at Amazon.
The 5 ounce bag might be Germany.
All the others appear to be Turkey.
I am just learning that artificial coloring is not allowed in most places in Europe.

thanks monte I'll check them out!
Knipex cobra and NWS maxi, I got the Cobras in the first year of my apprenticeship, 9 years ago:

Amazon is very inconsistent with what it will, and won't ship. I have nada a few deliveries from the DE site though.
Shipping out of Germany is usually reasonably priced, Shipping out of US is usually barely acceptable/ludicrous.
One particularly amusing example a few days ago, ( ebay or amazon, can't recall which) a Kurt vice for c. $650 USD , and shipping of c $1250 USD.
For VBW try:

Your right there, shipping from the US is ridiculous. For three wiha pliers from the U.S. I paid ~90AUD. Still worked out alot cheaper than buying in oz though
Thanks for the link, that site is great! I've also ordered stahlwille and knipex from http://http://tbs-aachen.de which is quite good if you haven't heard of it before.
Hi guys,
Keen utility boots (US made) aren't sold in Europe unfortunately
I'm in the market for a a pair of good utility boots like these:
http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/shoes/men/louisville-6in-met
Do you have any brands/models you would recommand ? So far, my personal experience is: I have quite narrow feet so RedWing are a big no no for me. Timberland are no longer what they used to be.
Please enlighten me.

I have used the Impacta drivers a few times on some stubborn screws and they seemed to work pretty well. I haven’t had a chance to use them on any really stuck screws yet so I can’t comment on how they would do there. However I will say that they are a lot lighter than I was expecting. I don’t know the actual weights but they feel a lot lighter than a “thru-tang” heavy duty screwdriver and are certainly lighter than a typical hand impact.
“need” I don’t, however metric hex keys are my most used tool (bicycles), so I don’t mind having a variety.

My Dad once gave me a 50 caliber armor piercing bullet to use as a punch to mark holes for drill bits. After 35 years - its still sharp.
Rare........but I've seen Dowidat No.3 wrenches from time to time on ebay.de, I never saw a GEDORE.

Your welcome Champo.
I certainly have !
I have had 6 orders from them, total c.$3130 AUD since 2012.
I even visited them last year as side excursion from a day trip to Remscheid. Nice shop.
where is this shop Monte, looks like a crack dealer store front
it´s a small hardware store: www.luedemann-werkzeuge.de3M dust masks
Hi pals,
a question..........how are Facom adjustable wrenches compared to Irega and Bahco ?
Especially the play between the jaws !?
I'am interested in Facom's, but the prices here are a "little" bit exaggerated
are they worth it ?
