Gedore is that bad? 7R-012 ratchet spanner set - review & unboxing | Etna. 

Thank you! I wasn't sure if I wanted to post anything about it. Now I am glad I did. Neither of the shown tools is a highlight. Ratcheting spanners seem to be a niche product no one is willing to put some effort in. Regards, Etna.

Do you know when you bought your set? I have nothing against rebranding things as long as the quality doesn't lack. Hazet has a rebranded Felo screwdriver set in their portfolio that I can't complain about. In the past it was somewhat common for the Remscheid community of tool manufacturers that niche tools would be made by one and sold under 4 or 5 brands. Regards, Etna.

My set was bought september 2022. With Hazet i was thinking about some of their their pneumatic tools like some models of impact wrenches which seem to be sold under different brands like facom or even USs harbor freight earthquake brand

Hehe, es wird kein review geben. Ich finde die halt auch nicht so prall. Aber bei dem Preis empfinde ich das Stahlwille Set angemessener. Die Hazet Ratschenschlüssel habe ich neulich im Bauhaus entdeckt und die sehen von den gezeigten Sachen am schlimmsten aus. Was da an Kerben drin ist... Die kommen halt auch irgendwoher und haben den typischen Hazet Preis. Vielleicht halte ich Mal Ausschau und entdecke entweder gebrauchte Gedore Schlüssel oder gar neu ein Set ohne diese Makel. Was mir gefällt ist, dass man die so leicht auf bekommt und die Mechanik tauschen kann. Ich ärgere mich ein bisschen das Set verfrüht zurück geschickt zu haben. Die Geräusche sind aus nebenliegenden Größen und manchmal ist halt Fett drin und manchmal nicht. Das hat mich sehr stutzig gemacht. Leider habe ich das nicht filmisch festgehalten, weil ich so frustriert darüber war. Aber vielleicht ist das heutzutage so bei neuem Werkzeug: Öffnen, reinigen, fetten, mit Ballistol vor Rost schützen und die Kunststoffeinlagen rückseitig füllen, damit sie nicht einreißen. Schicken Gruß, Etna.

I can't say much about their pliers as they never occured to me as a pliers-brand. But it is sad to hear. Regards, Etna.

That makes me find one used in good condition, so I can have a look at them. Regards, Etna.

To me it is purely a quality issue. I expect more from German companies. But that's only the case because I've seen so many tools from the past that are way better. Regards, Etna.

Get them from Facom or Toptul.

I might have a look at them. Thanks! Regards, Etna.

Hi! Thanks for that input. I am gathering some things right now and I want to make a small series about their 12V tools. Are you also interested in a self made drill in a casing out of red acetate? That would also be upcoming. But don't try to get a date out if me. Stuff happens and priorities shifted a bit. Hope you have some patience! Regards, Etna.

@@Etna. Take as much time as you need! Good things come to those who wait.

Thank you! Regards, Etna.

It never occurred to me but good to know. Seems possible. I didn't have this in mind. But I would still prefer the buttons over a loose feeling lever. But the best solution would be a straight ratchet that only moves in one direction. Regards, Etna.

Well... This type of tool wasn't common back then, so NOS wouldn't be really an option. But I can't see a way forward in buying NOS. But the again I feel that older Carolus and Rahsol tools - that were the B team back then - feel higher quality than todays Gedore. Regards, Etna.

Thank you! Regards, Etna.

I'd do it, if it wasn't so annoying to use these Wera. Have a listen and closer look at that part were I use them. These teeth engage all the time. They scratch the nut, bite into it and keep sticking. I just can't stand them. Regards, Etna.
