Tools from the old world

Gedore No. 8 open end wrenches.

I tried a thread in the Vintage Tools forum, but got no informed replies, so I'll ask here:

I have three Gedore DOE wrenches, 17, 14, and 12mm. They are the same opening on both ends. One end is a different angle from the other. They are quite thin. They are marked "Vanadium" on one side and "Gedore No. 8" on the other.

I cannot find any information on them on the internet. Does anyone here know anything about them?

I wonder what does "****" means in German... Monte?

"****" in German is a name, and also means "fat". Almost the same as "my" Dutch, where we spell it "dik".

Peeb, do you find all that goodness locally, or through the interwebs?

So you bought one after all

Hope you like it, please report back after using it a while. I've been oggling one of those for a while.

Cheap unbranded locking keyless, probably Chinese, was put on a few years ago when the previous decent keyless chuck locked up, it had to much use drilling masonry on the impact function in the years before SDS. Its a decent 2 speed drill that still sees some use. I also hate the current look of Hitachi tools.

ahh ok i though it´s a old skool Metabo chuck or so...

the recent Hitachi tools don´t look professional anymore.... More like tools you can find at Aldi or Lidl

btw. Lidl tools: http://www.lidl.nl/nl/Offerdate.htm?id=753

Not a great one, unfortunately.

The Bosch is the shortest at 5.3 inches, my Metabo BS 18 LTX BL is in the middle at 6.2 inches, and the M12 is the longest on the bottom at 6.6.

That's 135mm, 158mm, and 168mm, respectively, for those metric folks.

12 volt tool longer than 18 volt... ?? :eyecrazy:

**** means "fat" in german

...In english "****" can mean something different i think

nice ! Thanks for the pics ! I love Mafell :drool:

Don´t own any of their tools though

But they sure look purdy. I think they have several new cordless saws ?

added a missing 4.5mm socket

Did you see the KSS 40 18M bl?

Saving my pennies for that saw.

Nice try, Monte, but the Gedore No. 8's are flat.

Thanks for the reply!

What would you like to know about them? They still sell them:

Thanks, posidriv! It seems that Gedore has "repurposed" the No. 8 line as an ignition-pattern wrench. My wrenches have one end at zero degrees to the handle and the other at twenty-five (25) degrees, instead of the 30 and 75 degrees of the new version.

They seem like a tappet wrench with offsets to compliment the standard 15 degree angle.

What German or other Euro (Swedish perhaps?) drill presses are still being made.

I think the optimum are imported from far east

Thanks. I noticed there's discussion of the some of the Knuth castings coming from outside of Germany (and Europe) too. I would guess that COO labelling laws vary (though does the EU have a consistent law among its members, I wonder?)

Henning · Nov 6, 2015

Arboga 100% made in Sweden: http://www.arbogamachinery.com/en/products1/drilling-machines/a-2608-(m)/

Henning · Nov 6, 2015

And scantool (who incidentally owns Arboga): http://www.e-pages.dk/scantool/4/html5/1/

Not sure these are made in Denmark still though. The bench drill presses(v-belt versions) from Scantool I know is made in the Far East somewhere, so avoid those.

NonSenCe · Nov 6, 2015

those are ZEN gardening tools obviously.. named them "true temper" and all.

and those wooden handle ones.. wow.

Schim · Nov 6, 2015

I got this Hazet trolley to hold all my Hazet tools I've bought through the years. I bought it from Jens and received it this summer, he ordered it for me with 8 drawers instead of the normal options of 6 or 7. Jens is the best person I have ever dealt with for buying tools anywhere... Note drawers 7 and 8 are not used yet, I have room to grow...

BK13 · Nov 6, 2015

Made in Germany: Flott, Alzmetall, Maxion, Gillardon

I think Knuth and Optimum are asian.
