Tools made in Austria?
- Thread starter BWright
- Start date
The only one which come to my mind is: www.stubai.com
I think Sola's still around, although hauling home a spirit level might be a little eccentric.
Can't think of any other Austrian hand tool manufacturers, but the hunting shops have very nice craftsman made knives and the German hand tool brands are everywhere.

Stubai and Glock(they make a few tools).
Yeah Sola that`s right. Many of their measuring tools are not from Austria though, they`re "Made in England" by www.fisco.co.uk . I have the "Sola Big-T" tape which is very good so i can recommend them.
Here are 2 videos of how the tapes are made:

I don`t know who makes the blue handled,wood handle + acetat screwdrivers but this style from Stubai I`m pretty sure it`s from "Athlet"/Germany:

the electric screwdrivers too:

So the other screwdriver might be from them too

Is $30 a good price for a level?
Servus,
Just to name a few manufacturers that come to my mind right now:
Krenhof
Sonneck
ALPEN-MAYKESTAG
Müller
Felder
Fronius (As far as I know, it's possible to visit the production place in Sattledt.)
Tyrolit
Agre
Stern
To be continued ... hopefully.

PS: Some Gedore tools are made in Austria, if I recall correctly.

My favorite Austrian tool:
That tool actually does have a purpose (other than opening beer bottles...)
It is used as a 90 degree dog leg for torquing a couple of the head bolts on KTM's that are not accessible with a socket.
You put the 13mm over the bolt, and a 1/2" torque wrench fits right into the "bottle opener" slot....

After seeing the prices I'm pretty confident they are Chinese or ROC, but probably better than German tools, or so some would have you believe.

KTM also brands quite a few general purpose tools...
I'd love to know who manufactures them. I'm guessing that they are probably not made in Austria, but likely China...

That must be rebranded TopTul stuff. the socket set looks perfect for dashbord stuff, everything you need in one set. it was on ebay for a while for $50.

Felder wood working equipment is made in Austria. Good luck fitting one of their table saws in you luggage though.

I've got some Austrian-made valve stem caps that turn a certain color when the air pressure declines.
Hmm...KTM tools looks similar to the china tools I found here

....but doesn't matter if china or taiwan makes the tools...it's just another cheap re-badged product and KTM tries to sell the stuff as "KTM quality"...I don't touch those knock-off tools
And what is with stubai??? Seem that they don't have flex heads ratchets or other automotive tools....boring. I would re consider that...try to find some german tools in austria .
BTW: Where are you there?
