Monte, good job
I need advice on drill and grinder from Kress? With which brand can compare Kres? cClleagues from Wurth, tells me that they are working for them some power tools.
Thanks
These Wurth tools are from Kress:
These Protool rotary hammers were made by Kress:
They also made rotary hammers sold as "Bauhaus", "Flex", "Porter Cable" and "Toolson". I heard they made a hammer for Ryobi too...
The head of this Mafell sander was supplied by Kress:
this AEG delta sander was supplied by Kress:
this Mafell drill was made by Kress:
the older Flex cordless tools were made by Kress:
There are many other tools made by Kress but I´m too lazy to look for the pics
These are from Kress too: Berner, BTI, Eibenstock, Spit, Perles...everything made by Kress in Germany:
and almost all "
Müpro" tools are made by Kress too:
So it seems Kress can make Mafell, Würth, AEG, Müpro, Flex, Perles, Eibenstock, Berner, Porter Cable, BTI and Spit quality
Here is my recently acquired Record Vice. Model 35p, very old and very strong with almost no play or misalignment except on the sides where the jaws are slightly distorted by many years of usage. Weight is about 23kg and you the mechanism acts like a press; turns with one finger but the force and grip is really amazing.
nice vice
Wanted to buy some too. Are they any good ?
yes
There is not much wobble or play between the parts, the wheels turn easily, the wheels are screwed to the body instead of riveted so you can exchange them, the bearing is "covered", you can´t see the individual balls of the bearing like on cheap castors, there is a "crown" inside the bearing which hold each ball into place so the force is evenly distributed to each ball of the bearing (cheap castors don´t have this feature, there is a space between the balls so the load is not evenly distributed.). The body and upper part are "dynamically" attached which means that during the pressing process the main body and the upper plate are rotated so the balls can "run in/break in" a "path" into the housing so they sit perfectly. Other companies don´t do that always and simply press the parts together so the bearing might not work as good as the Blickle ones. Thats at least what the Blickle distributor told me today
The pictured Blickle wheels are just standard "furniture wheels", in the meantime i bought 2 sets stamped steel/rubber wheels which are more heavy duty and even better
They also have a rubber seal around the bearing which is crimped into the steel body and not just put around the bearing
Made in Germany
thanks
