Tools from the old world

Looks like he changed his tune in his latest review (and is actually reviewing the brushless this time). FFWD to 10:30.

The Metabo looked to be the best to me, but it says made in China on it. What are the made in Germany options ? Festool ?

 

[Monte]

Anything in particular that interests you?

everything

Oh, these aren't made in Germany?

Taiwan possibly:

iirc there was/is a american company who makes those too.

Forward to 6:30. That Metabo is a toy. Li'l dogs stay on the porch

It´s the older Metabo version in that video. The new one is much better.

the high end Metabos are german made. Festool (2 speed version), Fein (4-speed), Mafell and Kress too.
If you supersize this pic you can see the coo of the current top of the line Metabo drill.

Nice catch! It looks a bit like a Gedore adjudant.

 

[chrissalas1]

The new high end 18v drills from metabo are made in Germany and the new lihd batteries are made in Hungary i think.They are the best cordless drills i believe(the coo says a lot).The sb model is on my wish list.I have allready ordered the 400bl impact with the 3.1 lihd batteries.

Good one.

When will it be restored ?

 

[danstead]

Guys,

Hear u talking about Stahlwille and other German wrenches. Just picked up my first German wrench and wish I had a complete set of these. Any info about this Company would be appreciated.
Thx!

 

[hemdale]

Does somebody know a quality version of this angle finder with magnet (if possible) ? (and not too expensive, but also not too cheap )

[/QUOTE]


This maybe ?

Six Point,

Thanks so much for the info!! Not sure how common these wrenches are in the US but hope to find more of them!!

Best regards!

Maybe he was talking about the charger? The drill itself is definitely made in Germany.

Hello everyone,

Got these from a recent trip to Japan. I must say though, prices of tools (and everything else for that matter) are prohibitively expensive over there

For the Hazet stuff I paid twice as much as it would have costed to buy it online, but I still went ahead and got two 1/4 ratchets for my extensive 1/4 toolbox build.

Opinions on the Koken ratchet? It's been sitting in my cart, but I'm still not convinced I *NEED* it....yet.

 

[Monte]

Nice catch! It looks a bit like a Gedore adjudant.

yes, it seems this type of tool boxes was in vogue in the past. I like the modern ones better though. If old then Hazet Assistent

When will it be restored ?

i don´t know i´ve to wait a bit since it´s snowing right now so it´s a tad too cold to paint...

This maybe ?

I'd love an Assistent. Wanted one for years but the prices, even used, are outrageous.

Very tempted by a Stahlwille or Hazet "tool cart". If only i had the space..

Its a cool looking ratchet for sure, and smooth like butter. I got it on that merit alone. I don't know if I will ever "need" it, but its there if it's needed.

Thats the plan

Monte, how are the guides?

At work I had one with worn guides. One day I pushed the drawer a bit to hard and the whole drawer with tools went out the other side on to the floor.

Totally a hoarder, except from the chaos part, not my thing. I guess I have a small mind according to Monte's posted quote "Only the small mind needs order... The genius can oversee the chaos".

Any thoughts on Metabo 450 SXE vs Bosch 3725DEVS?

 

[submariner]

The chrome collection...

 

[rice rocket]

Any thoughts on Metabo 450 SXE vs Bosch 3725DEVS?

The 450 SXE is nice because you can switch orbit diameters, it's pretty well liked. Any reason you're looking at the 3725 and not the ROS65VC? The ROS65 has made a bunch of improvements on the 3725, I'm not entirely sure why they still offer both? The price is also more in line w/ the Metabo though.


The Metabo is made in Germany, not sure about the 3725. The ROS65VC is made in Switzerland.

Anyways, I haven't owned either (I don't own a 5" random orbit at all actually). I have the Bosch OS50VC for a 1/2 sheet, and if the 5" ROs are anything like that, it should be really nice. I also have a 1294VS, which has become a favorite for me.

I have been thinking about the SXE400, especially during the 15% off at CPO, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I still have 22 hours to decide.

Also the "comfort grip" collection.
Nice.

Yes, the reason is I didn't notice the ros65vc in the lineup lol.

For professional use the Festool 150/5 ETS. I have just sent one to my cousing who is a carpenter and he has been using Rupes, Bosch, Dewalt, etc. He says "that is the best ever and Rupes is also very good the rest not worth if you are a pro".

Nice haul Vidar. Local or online purchase? And forget the therapist. The answer is more tools.

The Bosch power tools factory in Switzerland is closed. Hurry up if you want swiss made power tools. Their new jigsaws etc. are from Hungary now.

Instead of spending money on therapists,i rather spend them on more tools[emoji2] Bought all from germany.Ebay sellers,and some from Hand tools from germany,which you probably have seen in this thread. I have looked at prices for Stahlwille and Gedore in norway,i just hurt my eyes[emoji15]

New tool came today.....
Metabo ssw 18ltx400bl with the new 3.1 lihd batteries

 

[marlinspike]

Mine will arrive today too! Though I think here in the USA we don't get as nice a case. I wish it had a ball detent, but I guess nothing is perfect (though it looks like in one of your photos it does have a pin?)

 

[HCNDM]

Facom440e arrived. Happy

Not a country of origin to be detected though
