That Metabo MAG drill is awesome! Love the case too.
Dude, you have enough Metabo grinders to qualify you as a Metabo dealer

Figured I'd share probably the best abrasive cutoff wheels I've came across. Dare I say better than any of the Walter products I've tried. I buy the 7" ones and use them on the black and decker until they are worn down to about 5". Then they get switched over to the makita.
These cut unbelievably fast, and last a surprisingly long time. I've even used them for cutting 1/2" plate when I didn't feel like using the torch for some reason.

Unless you are talking about the kit where a charger and batteries are included, it maybe that much, but I only bought the bare tool (since I have the batteries and the charger) for US $219 of off ebay.com. It's made in the UK by the way if you are curious.

It's a butter knife - missing it's silver plate.
I have two almost identical knives that I got in an odd-lot of kitchen stuff at an auction ~40 years ago.
I suppose you could put a razor edge on it - never occurred to me. It's a butter knife.... I use it to butter my toast.

If the blase in 10" give or take, it's probably a carving knife for meats like ham or roast beef. My parents had a set of Sabatier knives with a very similar looking knife.

Also a style of fillet knife that looks like that, called a butter knife for obvious reasons
That definitely isn't one of those mind you
Speaking of which I need to make a couple of those before salmon season starts in a couple weeks...

I don't think I have enough yet.
They are mean machines. Absolutely love the 6" one. I have another 3 that are in pieces, haven't had time or need to fix them up.vintage nut

I've wanted to try a 6" grinder for a while... My collection has always jumped from the classic 5" makita right to the 7/9" black and deckers
My most used grinders are probably the 4.5" Bosch that home Depot often has on sale for 2 for $99
Never had a complaint about them.
Been wanting to try a Hilti, metabo, or fein though...

Vintage Nut- You can't go wrong with Metabo or Fein.
I would not buy a Hilti though. Talked to a Hilti rep about them and he said they don't last very long and to stay away from them, that should say a lot!

Good to know! My only Hilti experience was with their Rotary Hammers. Those have always seemed pretty unbeatable.
I'll keep an eye out for a good deal on a metabo

May I ask if the foldable tape meter used somewhere specific? I am just wondering if a small measure tape would have been more convenient.

Maybe you could try the Flex, also made in Germany and they are the ones firstly produced the angle grinder, I think.
I have a couple of grinders but I am looking to get a "better" one but cannot decide which one.
I don't really do much metal work though, just hobby and occasional maintenance.

Here is another Wolf 6" grinder, that came from a friend around the corner.
There was enough of the label left to make out WOLF and a search lead me here.
The rests seem to be troublesome as these are not original either. Red appears to be the original colour. The small label on the base " Toronto 9 " and would put it about mid sixties.
I lifted the box hoping maybe, to see the original label (last picture), that I copied from another grinder online. but, it was not there.
It all runs very smoothly and can be used as is.

Yeah, is a old school measuring "device " that I'm still getting use to it. I using it for some tight spots with live electric circuit some time....

Those Wolf bench grinders are something we have quite a lot of in the UK, there was quite a lot of Wolf stuff sold here. Most of the ones I have seen with original tool rests, have very worn out tool rests, they seem to end up loose and left gently floating against the wheels, which wears them out faster than usual. These were a professional tool so got a lot of use. If I ever see a good one for sale im buying it.
I had never heard of Wolf tools before, but there are quite a few locally for sale.

I'm trying to figure out the Toronto connection, they must have manufactered stuff here also as the ones shown in those KIJIJI ads are 120V/60 cyl. as is my grinder.
Can anybody offer any further info?

My uncle has a wolf T handle drill, my grandfather bought it new in the 50s. It has oil holes for the bearings, not something you see every day

I Think Wolf was a German company, but am not entirely sure, I just know there is still quite a bit about.
I know the big heavy Makita 1100 planer is a copy of the old Wolf one, Dad had both over the years, I think quite a bit of their stuff lived on with other tool companies.

Don´t make me feel to regret my purchase
I hope we have softer water here
The technical stuff was the interesting part....they rather should get rid of the other dude instead of Edd
After a while it seems every TV show gets worse...same like orange county choppers....The fírst episodes were really good but later the show was more about son vs. father or father vs. son....
...yeah especially since they sold a similar set at Lidl for 5.99€
...But i couldn´t resist the "Made in Germany" A bit info about Wolf:

Hey Blöck, I've been looking at a basin wrench and stumbled across your post, that alarm 13 026 seems perfect, especially with the detachable claw.
However there's very little to find on the internet apart from just two websites.
Is it perhaps rebranded under other names or is it really a German only thing, only found in specialized plumbing shops?
Buying from werkzeuggigant would amount to almost €85..
Any good German secondhand websites?

Haha, I think your dad would do well with mine. My dad does not borrow my tools he thinks he owns all of my tools!!!
At 84 yr old it is difficult to teach old dogs new tricks and so I just hide the best of my tools
Today purchase... i have enough tools but "Garage Journal" is a evil thing.
I have one question -When is "enough" for tools?

Yeah, they would go together pretty well
Mine is 52, and I'm considering buying a few cantilever toolboxes and putting padlocks on them
He's not that old, but his personality and behavior is story for itself When I told him that this is not 5€ tool, and how much it costs, he went voiceless Probably all tools he bought in his life are worth less that this pair of cutters, and they arent that expensive To straighten out the mood, birthday present for my brother-in-law
Well, its not made in Europe, but still far better than China

Nice torque adaptor - well made
If you turn it 90 degrees you don't have to change the torque setting.

Do you mean to have the torque wrench vertical (90 degrees) to the adaptor before applying force?
How is that, and what if the adaptor varies in length?
Thanks
