Just brought my PB Swiss bit back from heavy industrial usage in a machine shop. The bit has endured torque of 80 Newton Meters (60 Foot-pounds) or less on my torque wrench and breaker bar.
You can clearly see the coating disappearing where it was contacting the fastener and adapter holder. However strength was not lost nor did permanent geometric deforming occur.
I LOVE PB SWISS!

I needed a small grinder and this Metabo Made in Germany is welcome in my garage
Just about any new Metabo would be welcome in my garage!
Funny how Tanos Systainers managed to be used by so many brand. Can't remember seeing lots of power tools manufacturers using Sortimo.
My only thought is that, somehow, I think Tanos cases would be slightly less sturdy than Sortimo. But maybe it's me.

Looks like the Facom hammer. Being that they're both Stanley brands, that should be obvious though.
i think only Flex uses the L-Boxx next to Bosch
for sturdiness i would get a metal case
The old (now the "MultiTalent") or very old one ?
Lessmann wire wheel
New long and short screwdrivers in my toolbox:
Swiss Made, perfect finish.
Close off some Hazet's with the PB Swiss
In my opinion the grip is small for this long sizes, but very comfortable.
reason: my hands molded by Hazet Hexanamic

I'm not sure. My understanding is that USAG used to manufacture a lot of items for Facom. (Anything that was Facom - Made in Italy, was USAG).
When a lot of the a Facom favourites started to be replaced by poorer quality far eastern tools, it seemed to me that you could still buy tools very similar to the originals, and certainly of equivalent quality, by buying USAG. Their prices seem seriously reasonable too!
Don't know how long this will continue for, or even how much of the USAG line is outsourced already. Someone here may know more.
i have to check that, i only own the newer one and have access to the previous model of yours...
nice Fein tools

It is the 13-2. Was priced the same as the 10-2, plus I got some discount. The worst part is that it shipped with a Multimaster catalogue.

Kingsley is a subsidiary of the Danaher Corp. The same people who own GearWrench, Armstrong, Allen, etc.
The address I found for Kingsley is an Apex Tool Group facility. Apex Tool Group is owned by Danaher.
The screwdriver handle sort of looks like the handles found on some of the old MAC screwdrivers, but MAC is owned by Stanley.
Danaher could have been making the screwdrivers for MAC/Stanley Tools, or vice versa. It's also possible the screwdrivers were made in Taiwan or China. I believe I've seen a copy of that handle on a Taiwan made screwdriver.
Sorry I can't be more specific.

What I find very intriguing is that (what looks to be) a hex bolster is on the top of the screwdriver
That's a Harbor Freight screwdriver

FWIW, Apex was originally created as a 50/50 joint venture between Danaher and Cooper in 2010, but it's since been sold to Bain Capital in 2013 for $1.6BN.

Hi, does anybody know if Metabo still makes this torque multiplier and where to buy it in the USA?

The new one is all silver and much longer to deal with the higher output of the 4-pole and brushless motors.
I imported mine from Toolstop.

They really dig into your hand when they are like that, its not a great idea if your going to use them as a regular screwdriver, but good if you want to turn with a ratchet.
