If you look for the extractor set search by "Ridgid" cause kukko and belzer would be mopre expensive.

The shorts are also made somehow in Europe:)

As I'm cleaning out my father's garage, I'll probably have lots of posts like these (unless I'd better open a new topic).

Started today with the first pouch (lots and lots of boxes with all kind of tools/wrenches to sort out):

- some Dynasteel wrenches (Dynasteel/Dynacore was made in Belgium, went out of business in 1965, so these are old).
- Facom wrench and bits: Facom was my father's 'brand', I'm sure he has the complete set and much more in the other boxes. It's the good old French made Facom.
- Acesa (Spain) wrench
- Fiat wrench (the garage was
- Some knipex pliers
- Rheidco Metabo wrench
- A NEON and MITO wrench, couldn't find anything on the net about these brands.
- The red screwdriver has a logo I've never seen before. Says 10000 volts Germany on the other side.

I'll do my best to make better pictures next time. Will be looking for a Facom toolchest in the near future :)

I have this ratcheting wrench from Facom and I am not impressed. It is very rough and tight and the backdrag would make it non usable for anything else than undo a bolt.

Anyone can provide some feedback if the reversible angled ones are better/ smoother and how they compare to Gedore reversible?

Thanks!!!

You are looking for the VIM Tools HBR5. Fine tooth, reversible, smooth action. Clearly the best of the 1/4 & 5/16 bit ratchets. Comes with a 1/4" square adapter to drive regular 1/4" drive sockets. Can get them on Amazon.com Made in Taiwan.

Sealey 1639 heavy duty ear-type or click type pliers for changing the stainless band on CV boots.

Note that when closed they push the clic band down, they say normal pliers won't work so didn't want to risk it.

Also, they have the 1/2" square slots so you can use the torque wrench.

I have them for a couple of years now and they are doing the job fine and cost me only £16.abd9e99a71769fed7afe57319000ece2.jpg0979dc4060c0b49ff99169f80991e263.jpg

Do you know if there is any difference between the special pliers for CV joint with indentation/ hole and the ones with the checkered/ lines tips?

If you work on CV joints then you definitely need the horshoe kind of spring pliers or do you have any other option?

I bought this knipex which worked a dream but realised there are similar pliers which they have the checkered tips.

VOLKEL QC issue
The hexagon part of the tap is machined at 6.55 instead 6.25, i.e. 1/4.

I used a 7mm socket in order to used and it worked well

The material is so hard that the Swiss Grobett file doesn't really do anything.2690e1ed9a4eea9d17184a2e286768ef.jpg

That Facom spanner looks great.

Very nice tools. I believe that the older tools they had better quality steel as well.

That would be a good tool for me to have in my line of work. Who makes it?

It´s this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R8HQE3K/?tag=atomicindus08-20
Anyone can provide some feedback if the reversible angled ones are better/ smoother and how they compare to Gedore reversible?
Gedore´s are probably the roughest :lol:
Who is the OEM for the striking tools? Does Stahlwille makes their own hammers?
I believe they are made by specialised companies.
If you work on CV joints then you definitely need the horshoe kind of spring pliers or do you have any other option?
I think they are the right tools.
And who is the OEM for Wiha[emoji16]
Wiha :)
Are the pliers below the correct ones for the VW hose clamps?
...or...: :)

I think Wiha is right. The Stahlwille recoilless hammer should have a small hex symbol stamped into the hammers metal sleeve. Just like Wihas symbol...
They´re made in switzerland.

Does anyone knows where to go for tools in Berlin and Frankfurt? Nothing in particular, just good tool stores.

In Berlin I think you can visit SATBerlin and Zoro.

Frankfurt you may try City-Tools GmbH Zentrale Frankfurt, they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays though.
Address: Königsberger Str. 23, 60487 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Also try and google "Uhrmacherwerkzeug" in Frankfurt, Berlin etc.

In my experience handtools you may have at very good price in Germany but power tools more expensine than in UK for example.

Hi Wizard1,

I cannot see your photos due to photobucket issue probably.

Could you just upload one photo of your pliers or the brand and model number to have a look?


Thanks!
