AT http://www.tbsaachen.de You get the Facom 113A.12C Rollgabelschlüssel for 29,93€.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 exaggeratedare they worth it ?

These are the Marutoloy 1, CR-V70C Chrome-Vanadium Steel version of the High Grade Series. I bought the set from iTOOLS for 50$ or so. Grips are nice if you do not like those bulky squishy grips that come with most western styles of pliers these days. Keiba seems to know whats going on these days and have a large variety of pliers for people of all trades. A brand to look into for those who do not want to drop the prices for German brands.

Are those brass inserts/bushings?
Very nice.

They call them "bullet metal" they are there so that if the pliers completely rust over they should maintain functionality.

They have a different set that has a similar brass insert but does not seem to go all the way through. And are made from their Marutoloy 1 SK7FM2 metal. Which is a higher carbon metal that has been treated to not lose its Ductility.

I think most people who buy PB quickly ends up with more
I'm no stranger to good tools but was completely taken by surprise by the quality of the PB tools. And especially the bits. I currently use Wera, but I seriously consider going PB instead. If it had been a bit easier to get here I probably would've.
For everyone considering PB, be warned! Highly addictive!
You were right, me wallet is in trouble! I bought some more hex bits in imperial sizes, also some Wiha and Wera random bits.
Good to know !
Now I have found a dealer,which offers adjustable wrenches from Irega for terrific prices.
Pics will follow........
Wow I bet you wish you hadn't heard of them then!
Do you know of a online shop that sells parat tool bags that will ship to Australia?
new raaco assorters (made in Denmark). Unfortunately one arrived broken
:
Those are the turkish ones which we have here unfortunately. I just remembered my favorites were called bears and friends lol, best gummies I've ever had

German made Witte, Wiha ,PB Swiss etc.... is there a tool magazine test which tells us who is the bit top dog ?
I think Irega because of the handle
Bahcos are easy to get here offline that´s why i have many of them, Irega is only available online.In the meantime they´re available for a good price here:

6mm Hazet series 603 wrench
Unfortunately not, I had a few stahlwille socket sets and spanners already, was just waiting for the rollmaster
. Haven't had a chance to fill it up yet, am planning on restoring it. I've never had a rollcart before and realising it's actually really handy to have a cart that can follow you round.I must say, those little 7.2V snap on drivers on top have changed my way of thinking, I can't recall any tool I have bought that is made in China, these were a first for me and I am really impressed, they don't have much torque, but I have them set to the lowest torque setting because when they aren't going the motor is locked so you can twist the driver to nip up or crack a stuck screw/nut. I have a few power tools made by Fein, they are fantastic but they are big, these little drivers get much more use.

You are right and well informed !
I've got one adjustable wrench from Rothenberger (made by Irega) and it's very sturdy with 0% play between the jaws.
Now............. I'm waiting for my order.

You are right and well informed !

This turned up recently, I've been on the hunt for a long time, see them in Germany (eBay.de) often but never have I seen one in New Zealand, had to buy it.

Now that's a great find.
It seems Festool now makes them (TTS-Cleantec) since they bought the shares from the former Kranzle-Cleantec company in 2009 where Festool and Kranzle produced the vacuums in the Kranzle factory. In 2011 Festool moved the vacuum production into their new factory a few miles away from Kranzle where they also produce the Systainers.

Pretty cool stuff Champo! what is that fuzzy material on the screwdriver?
Haha I was hoping someone would notice that!
I'm not really sure what it is, but it feels exactly like it looks, gritty and grippy but soft
The packaging says "anti slip microfibre handle suitable for oily environments", so I assume it doesn't stain!
Here's another photo compared to a regular screwdriver:
Edit: Witte also use the material on their maxxpro plus screwdrivers

Oh, man, I dig those! Cheaper than a Snappy KRSC 46, too!
yep unfortunately, will check out walmart though
blockwart good choice, i have the 4" in black and silver just because I love miniature tools
Thanks it should come in handy, I've never used a ratchet screwdriver but my wrists will thank me for buying it. For 35 aud (25.5 use/ 22.5 euro) I couldn't really pass it up. The shaft is just knurled.
