I was just watching a Big Clive video where he used a meter that seems to meet your size and feature requirements.

edit: just noticed it is DC current only

Thanks for this? It still looks good even without the AC current.

Stahlwille 80 tooth locking flex head ratchets.

Been looking for a good 3/8 flex and these tick all the boxes for me.

They should be good however a trial will make you decide. I have the normal 3/8 and I find it very nice however I found the 1/2 handle a bit bulky for my like and exchange it with the Gedore 1/2 and fits my hand better.

I like the facoms as well, etc. etc., the game is never ending...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have wondered, are the branded (but made in China) jacks and axle stands just the same as the cheap Chinese counterparts but with a higher price tag? They all look the same.

Facom ball end allen/hex key set.

A couple of times recently I've struggled using 1/4 hex sockets due to clearance so bought these used from ebay. Wanted Wiha but these came up first.

Made in France.

I was aware of the function and limitations of the ball end but was surprised just how much angle they can be used at.

Standard hex.

I don't know. I never sold Facom jacks, so I don't have any feedback about it.

Do you know why Stihl is selling the Viking mowers now also under their own name beside Viking?
Thom
The Viking name will disappear...
MultiMaster (AFMM18) or SuperCut (AFSC18)? I really don’t get the difference between them
The MultiMaster is for hobby/semi professional use and the supercut for professional use. The SC also removes car/truck windows etc. what the MM can´t.

Any recommendations for a german made toque wrenches? Is 3/8 or 1/2" and 50-150Nm Ok to car and motorcycle wrenching?
Wera would be nice but they are no longer made in Germany...
Carolus !

btw, I haven't seen Monte for a while!
Hi :hellobye:

Any benefit to wooden screwdrivers or is it just something people like?
Woodworkers seem to like these drivers...

Anyone know what happened to Monte? Have not seen any posts from him lately.
I´m back :)

Monte! Please tell us you're alive, well, busy gardening, or finishing up your montecarlo! :)
yes, yes, yes, no :)
Garden work sometimes takes up to 7 days a week (after regular work) and lately i´m also into BBQing so i had to research grills and recipes etc. :) and i also bought another car so i have to research parts etc...:)

Servus, Monte,

Some while back you asked for a couple of close-up pics of files, rasps and pliers. I hope I can fulfill your request.

I don't know which company produces the best hammer in Europe but I don't think you can go wrong with Halder, Osca, Habero/Gedore and Peddinghaus.

You forgot PICARD, D, and THOR,UK Most of my DIN1041 hammers are PICARD ones (from 50 to 2000 g), THOR is famous because of their rawhide/copper mallets.:)

Welcome back! You had us really worried there for a couple of weeks!
Thanks:)
Where did you find this car in Germany. Any photos?
I bought it in the Netherlands :) I will try to upload some pics in my other thread...
Is there an old world Weber equivalent? (Grill, not carb!)
:) There are a couple of german made grills:

Stuff with no COO anywhere, tool or package.

View media item 85553

Although now branded ‘Bahco’ these are actually made in Spain by Irazola - or rather in the old Irazola factory (I assume), as SNA Europe have bought them, but don’t seem to be using the name.

Shame, the name counted for something, and they’re very decent drivers.

I see the new ‘Bahco’ branded ones for sale here in the U.K. but they are clearly marked ‘Made in Spain’! Maybe it’s a U.K. thing...?

Edit - saw some more of these yesterday, and now most are not marked with COO... hmmm! They look like the same drivers, and as far as I can tell they seem to be similar quality, but removing the COO is usually a precursor to shifting production to somewhere crappy!

Why oh why do manufacturers do this? There are enough dodgy firms out there who will rip off your products and sell imitations. You don’t need to do this yourself...!

Not a fan of the non symmetrical handles as you don't only hold side cutters one way round so sometimes the handle digs into your hand. Not a big deal but just seems like a weird design choice. Unecessarly discriminates against lefties too.

Very disappointed,the mechanism become stuck when i try to undo or tighten a bolt with more power, let's say with 100Nm for example.
I contact stahlwille and send me a replacement kit but the problem continues to occur,the racketing become stuck and for unlocking the mechanism i must hit the ratchet with a piece of wood or some plastic hummer.
I want to say that mechanism are very good oiled.
Some of you have this problem?

Hi jessysirazvan,

When I was reading your post I thought someone had quoted my post from last year.

I had the same exact issue with the previous 60t ratchet and I replaced it with the Gedore which is very good.

German ratchets in general all seem junky to me. Either coarse or heavy like a club, or both. I'd stick with Facom. If you need quick release then get a Nepros. Maybe the new Hazet 90 will change my mind whenever they get around to introducing a full range but yea, nothing stands out.

I think Gedore ratchets are good,

And btw the Stahlwille 3/8 ratchet, 435 QRN, is really nice and buttery smooth, small and works very good as I have done a lot of jobs with this one and no problems; not tested at high torque though.

Made in Germany stuff (cars,tools...etc,etc) is not like in the olden days.
They are just overpriced now. :headshake
