Wow thats terrible. I have that same set from the Amazon deal but haven't used them at all as I've got stahwille and wright wrenches that I preference using.
Let us know how Gedore's warranty process is? I'd definitely warranty a wrench like that for being too soft, though if its replaced with the same quality of steel, I guess theres not much point even if their service is awesome. Just bad quality product
I also have a couple of Gedore and I think they are as good as any DIY brand or worst.
Please send an email to Gedore and see what they say!!
China? Would be **** then damn
After calling the shop I can confirm the the below model box says Makita Japan, made in CHINA!!!

You should go brushless

Almost the only thing that needs changing on a Metabo
You should go brushless
you´re right But the selection of corded brushless drills is limited...I think only Festools offers oneNews from Fein: New cordless SuperCut
Re: Gedore wrench with open end damage. Im going to sound like a snob but a lot of you don't use tools much. That will happen to any brand when you catch just the edge of the wrench and turn it. A lot of pressure on a small area will roll the edges like that. Easy to tell that's what happened because the damage is on one edge as opposed to all the way across and I've done it many times. Try engaging the entire open end and it wont happen. Or better yet try to avoid using the open end at all when trying to break loose or tighten a fastener.

Wouldn't you rather round the nut instead of putting dents in the wrench when only catching the edge of the wrench? At least, this is what happened typically to me as a kid...
Interesting topic, any more thoughts on that? Do we have to blame Gedore or the mechanic? ;-)

During the last couple weeks, I purchased the following 2 German made pliers:
Knipex Revolving Punch Pliers and Orbis 25 Degrees Diagonal Pliers
I purchased both pliers from the HomeDepot website. The Knipex pliers were a "Special Buy" and marked down by almost $2.50. For the Orbis pliers, I conducted an online chat session and convinced the Home Depot representative to do a price match with the Menard's sale price. She gave me on top of the sale price an extra discount around $3.25.

Im sure anyone would but tool steel isn't that hard without going into very expensive alloys. Not to mention suspension fasteners can be upwards of grade 10.9 so you're not talking about garbage ikea hardware here. Give me any brand wrench i'll duplicate that damage by doing just what I stated. Nut or bolt just catching the mid-to edge of the open end and crank on it.

that's about the first thing I ever learned ... never use the open end if you can use the ring. The wrenches should be a lot tougher than any hex you can find on a vehicle , maybe that one passed the heat treat somehow.
some Eibenstock and Festool tools at the hardware store:
Hey Monte,
Which shop is this and what town in Germany?
Also, how is Eibenstock quality compared to other good brands like Metabo, Fein, Duss?
Thank you!
i made the pics here:

Bauzentrum Sandhack
Osterbrooksweg 50
22869 Schenefeld
They also have a small selection of Dewalt and Bosch Green as well as a larger selection of Makita and Bosch Blue (+Fein Multimaster).
Eibenstock offers several price categories just like Metabo, so a 120.-€ mixer with 960 watt made out of plastic is probably not as good as the 350.-€ mixer with metal gear case and 1800 watt. But in the higher price category you will find premium quality just like the higher priced Metabo tools, maybe no Duss quality but they´re in their own league...But if Eibenstock can supply drill motors for major mag drill manufacturers like Powerbor or Karnasch which means heavy duty use then i believe they offer high quality. The good thing about Eibenstock is that most tools are made here and that they didn´t change the tools too much from their GDR manufactured ones:
http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-...hrgeraet,-eibenstock-ehm120/278222280-84-2036
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Zweihand-Boh...075130?hash=item4af5012dfa:g:23cAAOSwAKxWYAmS
So it seems they are reliable constructions.
Since you are from the UK you might be able to check out a couple of Eibenstock tools at your Makita dealer (!!):
these tools:
http://www.makitauk.com/products/construction/mixers/ut1600-paddle-mixer.html
http://www.makitauk.com/products/construction/mixers/ut120-mixer.html
http://www.makitauk.com/products/drills/diamond-core-drills/dbm080-diamond-core-drill.html
as well as other mixers and core drills are labelled "Made in Germany" and i´m 99,99% sure they are made by Eibenstock.
edit: their UK importer: http://eibenstock.co.uk/

Thanks mercucho. You can also take a look at the Stahlwille 98810908, its cheaper and just as good if not better, it just doesn't have the TORX screwdrivers set and few other items that comes with the Hazet 1557/58, but you can always get them separately if you like the Stahlwille set.
Stahlwille 98810908 TORX Set
nice ! I wonder when Metabo or Fein will offer 2000 Watt angle grinders
iirc Taiwan
Tool in action:
Electric chainsaws are good for small jobs , around the house and quiet.I have had Makita/Dolmar 2000w for a while , good features!.The Dolmar PS-420 has a split magnesium crankcase , good price/quality.Here around 350 eur incl tax (But it is not the smallest and lightest 40cc saw)Electric
A gasoline chain saw is on the wish list

2000w is already past the real of normal 120v 15A plugs for us here in the US.
Is that a rebranded Wiha? It looks very similar to me. Anyway a nice screwdriver, I love these classic style handles!
That's odd, you've got 15A breakers? Here even the lighting circuits typically run off 230V 16A breakers. Hell, our 30 year old vacuum cleaner draws 2000W2000w is already past the real of normal 120v 15A plugs for us here in the US.
Do you happen to know the OEM of that wrench?
