That SAM is pricey!
Yes, I know

That SAM is pricey!

but simple automotiv. SAM is from france if i'm correct, never had them in hands. Sensotork do the same job, as well you can connect it to laptop, it has a 1 % accuracy so its about nasa i guess 

, one day will get all sizes of ratchet heads for sure
For now almost all of them are from Facom... rest is stahlwille.

If you try to grab any detail with this thing, you will fail.

Funny thing about soviet union. I just found a long lost double ended ring wrench when i was doing little inventory of my tools. I’ve used it propably 10years ago last time. It aint the prettiest or so but always got the job done with it(allthought allways afraid will it break when picking it up
).
Real nice stahlwille torque collection octawian you got there. Few years ago when i replaced my china torque stuff away i looked long for stahlwille manoskop but couldnt justifyi the price for me(hobbyist) and decided to get hazet torque wrenches 10-60nm and 60-320nm. I dont use them every day but weekly and so far they operate as new(try to keep them as clean and as good as i can). Dont remember the models but shows in the picture

I am wondering what tools they use to build all these rockets, Sukhoi, Mig, etc.[emoji6]
I don't know about modern Russia, but in Ukraine Antonov plant buys hand tools from Stahlwille, air tools from Chicago Pneumatics, and cutting tools from Guehring.
Plant 410 of Civil Aviation buys mostly Chinese hand tools, power tools from DeWalt and Makita, and I have no idea about the cutting tools they buy.
Aircraft repair plant Aviakon likes Toptul and Dynabrade a lot.
Motor Sich prefers Gedore and Bosch.
I don't have a lot of information about Yuzhmash, but from time to time they order Bosch, Makita, and Snap-On.
Okay, let's briefly forget about SAM, Stahlwille, etc. Here is some tool **** from Soviet Union![]()
At first sight this thing looks like waterpump pliers or something. It has the inscription "Chromovanadium" stamped on one of the handles. I will say even more, here is the manufacturer's logo! IIRC, this abbreviation means "Leningrad factory "Instrument"

It looks not aesthetically pleasing and roughly made, but durable, right? Or notJust look at the jaws and handles. It seems they are parallel to each other

It seems Ukrainian splach the cash!!!
Interesting to see the variation of preferences.

That kind of stuff we called ' GNIOTSA NIE ŁAMIOTSA'
I have couple of ussr tools like open spanners . Looking like cap after that many years but do the job even with hammer helpyou simply can't kill them .

Dolmar are owned by Makita now.
I am currently looking for a manual tube bender of this type:

This one is the WFB2 from Woodward Fab, stated at 299$ at their website.
Have not seen one in this price range in Germany / Europe, only for 800+€. Does someone know about this or similar from Germany / Europe or for a seller in Germany?
Many thanks in advance!
Monte,
You have to do something amd put an end to these acquisitions.
Also, don't forget my question about grinders. I need to buy now that they are made in Germany.
I can find the ones made abroad anywhere[emoji6]

Hopefully the mechanics know how to use that toolNooooo Monte I actually forgot the part number and purpose of those mercedes Knipex. What a mystery! Mercedes gives no description to their tools ):
On the good side I bought so much Pb Swiss
why ?Does it mean that Dolmar is better than Stihl?
Because of the price/performance ratio i would get the Metabo. It also has the slimmest housing of these 3.Hello experts,
What do you think between these three angle grinders in the order presented? Is there any other brand with similar features that is not made in Ch***?
Flex and Suhner seems to be almost double the price with Suhner very difficult to find it online.
WEV 10-125 QUICK: 2800-10500(8800 at rated load)rpm/ vibration 6ms, 2.1Kg, output 590W, 90 deg head rotation (anti-kick, constant speed, Restart protection, Soft start)
FLEX L 3410 VR QUICK: 2900-1100(rated speed 11700???)rpm/ vibration 7ms, 2.2Kg, output 880W, 90 deg??? head (anti-kick, constant speed, Restart protection, Soft start)
Suhner UWG 10-R125: 4200-1000(rated speed ???)rpm/ vibration ???, ???Kg, output ???W, 90 deg??? head (anti-kick???, constant speed, Restart protection, Soft start??)
THANK YOU!
Chile ?Is there any other brand with similar features that is not made in Ch***?
Bosch GWS 13-125 CIEIs there any other brand with similar features that is not made in Ch***?
Mine is silent.However this LED light has an audible buzz which does not go away. Tried three different batteries and all the same.
What is going on here?
Hitachi buys Metabo and Makita Dolmar.
What is next? A big monopoly to end up with pattern tools that are cheap consumables?


As long as they return some money it´s difficult to stopMonte,

Where are Bahco spanners made in?Done some sniffing and Bahco is my winner when is about spanners.
If you want to buy something that is blink blinkfor sure it can be gedore or stahlwille but you need to have rich parents, if you want to buy proper stuff for work and cash matters, bahco is the answer

They should be doing somethig like this with all the tools. To touch them, feel in hand and try them in the field, not just show some pictures in clean hand [emoji38]_hitti

There is no need to look for another angle grinder.
Metabo WEV 15-125
Powerful, light weight for that kind of power, full of features and miG of course.
I (and many others colleagues) use it every day in work and I can't find any cons.
A friend bought the same grinder a while ago and he's very happy with it! Pics are from his new grinder.

Looks cool.. bummer adjustable is from Taiwan but it is all good.
What do you mainly do with a angle grinder and do you already own one ?Hello Miskin and Monte,
Thank you for the replies.
I have considered the more powerful WEVA 15-125 and I am not sure because of the weight.
Do you think that more power is needed for DIY jobs?
