Monte: i love coming over here to see what tools you guys have across the pond and i didn't know Stihl made a battery operated chainsaw. i have a Ryobi 18v chainsaw i love. i used to love Stihl chainsaws, but because i didn't use them every day the carbs always had issues at least for me.

keep up the good work and i also love your LEINEN VICE and your little York is pretty sweet too.

cheers and keep up the great work as always on this thread and GJ

I don't know about the Stahlwille 13, but I have the 14 series as well as the Hazet 600N.

I can tell you, in tight spots, like a manifold, the Hazet open end always seems to fit, while the 14 often doesn't.



I guess that didn't actually answer your question at all, did it.

You did do an admirable job of selling the garage journal motto:

"There always room for another tool" in this case a hazet 600n

I only have the stahlwille 13 and they have always worked for me but then I do not wrench for a living so that may simply be a case of not having encountered a situation where they don't fit.

Ah, a "klempner" working hard.
My dad worked in Germany as a plumber in the 1970s and 80s, the salary was good for craftsman back then.
My uncle also worked as a plumber in Germany, after a few years he married a German girl, and later he got his own plumbing business near Bremerhaven.

I never heard of Leinen vises before, are they better than Heuer ?
There are several on Ebay-kleinanzeigen, maybe I need to expand my vise collection

Yes for me Leinen is The Best .
Leinen is made from special cast iron -Heuer is from steel.

LEINEN - URSUS - FZA are manufactored in the Morsificio Italiano factories in Italy

Nice.

We just got the Stihl 36v Leafblower. Advertised working time is 24 minutes with the big (6 Ah?) pack but i think i get longer run time from it. Really excellent tool, easy to use, powerful, light and super nice throttle function. Oh and pretty silent too.

Question about stripping pliers.

Should I get the manual?



Should I get the automatic one?


I believe both have positive and negative however I would like your feedback from experience.

As per description the automatic is made from alloy and I assume the manual is carbon steel.

Thanks

Hi,

I saw your post a while ago, but never got around to taking some pictures of mine: a secondhand Gedore 8099-1, looks very similar to the Stahlwille you linked.

Not a lot to be found on the internet about this one, seems it's superseded by the 8099-160. The new one strips wire from 0,5 to 5 mm², but mine says it can only do 0,3 - 1,2 mm, although it looks exactly the same?

It works well on finer wire (I often strip UTP cable, I use it for a lot of different little electronics projects). I hate the manual types with the adjusting screw, but that's probably because I rarely repeatably strip the same wire gauge.

Nice Stabila level, Jessy!

I guess that didn't actually answer your question at all, did it.

I was curious about this, because I only own two Hazet's and they're exactly the same thickness as the open box 14's. So I looked up the specifications of the open ends. It's all very close! The 9mm is the only one with 1 mm difference in the width of the open ends.

Few questions for you guys:
1) Is it still the case that only the Gedore ratcheting wrenches are made in Germany and the rest of the German brands have them made in Taiwan under their label?

2) When a Knipex multi component handle starts coming off, is there a way to stick it back on (well, to get it back on is easy, to make it stay is the hard part).

 

[marlinspike]

It's just a type of push-through ratchet. In fact, 920/50 still is the model number for the push through ratchet they make.QUOTE]

Good deal I guess because I'd like to get a rebuild kit do they have a life time warranty? It works like **** but might just be design I would upgrade not if they will give me China **** I guess I got one of the last true Italian Beta's. i tried wd40 oil on it and lithium grease and both are no good, Lithium made paw stick to gear and lock it up. I'd trade it to someone but Doubt anyone wants it.Theres nothing wrong with it really it was just dry and dirty in inside and its old. I don't like the push through design or mechanics of it.

I wouldn't use lithium or wd40. IIRC Stahlwille said to use SAE 30 or some other single viscosity motor oil.

 

[T45]

>ratcheting wrenches

are typically taiwainese or use taiwaineese mechanisms

 

[drtyler]

1)The Gedore ratcheting combination wrenches are indeed made in Germany. The Hazet and Stahlwille ratcheting combination wrenches are not.

The latest rachets from Stahlwille, 80teeth QRN, they have light grease. I have seen it myself when looking at them in the shop.

Hi!
I've glued them with 2 part epoxy on one pair of my pliers (unior 2 comp. grips), after about 1 year, they are still on there

On all my ratchets mechanism i use Motul oil 5w30 , never use grease because the grease attract dirt and dust

you can use a bicomponent adhesive two part epoxy is flexible and chemical resistant and the drying time is not very fast

I believe that there was a time that Unior bought pliers from Gedore....
View media item 57392

 

[zaboravi]

No. Unior produce pliers in Slovenia.

 

[Miskin]

Maybe 40 years before, bought some pliers from Gedore. I think it is obvious that the combination pliers are identical.

 

[zaboravi]

It is just german style pliers.

 

[Miskin]

Anyway, I disagree, I'm sure that they came out from the same factory.

 

[Cwalter]

Thank you Miskin, It was interesting for me that I realized old Unior pliers was made by GEDORE!

Who knows, who makes locking pliers for Stahlwille?

Is that the same York company that makes these beautiful vises?

Yes, York vises are very strong.

Monte: i love coming over here to see what tools you guys have across the pond and i didn't know Stihl made a battery operated chainsaw. i have a Ryobi 18v chainsaw i love. i used to love Stihl chainsaws, but because i didn't use them every day the carbs always had issues at least for me.

Stihl offers various battery operated tools for the professional user:
https://www.stihlusa.com/products/battery-products/
In Europe they also offer a range of DIY 36 volt battery tools and in 2017 they will release a 18 volt series with built in battery for DIY use. They don´t sell cordless drills though

I never heard of Leinen vises before, are they better than Heuer ?
There are several on Ebay-kleinanzeigen, maybe I need to expand my vise collection

I dunno if they are better....they´re different
Some more vise brands to search for: "Schlegel" and "Boley"

Nice.

The street cleaners here use the Stihl blowers with backpack batteries. If you need a longer runtime

Hi Pozidriv,

Many thanks for the feedback.

They seem similar to Stahlwille/ VBW but I think they are made in Austria so not really the same.

Maybe the first ones were made by VBW and that is why you have the 0.3-1.5 mm while now they have the 0.5 to 5mm2. VBW makes both versions.

Thanks again, I've worked with a lot of locking pliers. Knipex, NWS, Bollmann,
Grip on, Taiwanese, except Facom that not find here. All were of low quality!
On first use, the teeth show worn. After Petersen deceased I not saw other quality pliers. The jaw HRC must be over 50 but in the best case is 44.

Some wire stripper.
