Hi guys, I went back to Germany and visited their biggest tool store OBI to find even more quirky tools, check it out here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yxWucn2HQXc.htmlsi=xRgXyy5SN7S3rHsQ

1:10 Oh how cute, the socket wrench. But the German company Plarad has them in large size. But there are also some with hydraulics or a cordless spanner. There are models that can achieve up to 150,000 Nm. I recommend German channels such as Baumforum24 The guys often find very interesting tools. But they also like to go to construction sites, tool fairs in Germany or abroad, or show how tools like Würth or Bosch tools are made. very interesting. There are also tool presentations with service employees, such as Plarad, who present their tools and explain what they can do and where they are used. The Plarad tools mentioned above are mostly used in industry, large plants and the wind power sector. The screws are usually as big as a leg.

I didn't even know a Zollstock wasn't even an ubiquitous tool all around the world. Here in Germany, it's the most basic tool pretty much anyone owns at least one of. It's quite easy to be a "collector" of them, because you'll just end up with multiples of 'em anyway. Also, you never buy one, they kind of just spawn in. With the craziest brands attached, too. Did you know that most Zollstöcke have a Winkel built-in? On the first hinge, you'll often find a scale for different angles when you flip it open, which sometimes comes in handy. Also, they'll ratchet at 90 and 180 degrees, which is added value in my book. Oh man. I was _so_ surprised when you said you can't easily get one in the UK!

For Germans it’s weird to see other people being so fascinated by folding rules: not that we don’t use tape measures, but there are at least 5 folding rules in every German household, because they have always been hugely popular as a giveaway: lots of space to put your logo on them. So growing up in Germany, you assume that they’re just as ubiquitous everywhere else, at least in the West. You know the elongated pockets in workwear? Germans think they are specifically for folding rules (and if they’re German-made, they actually are). I once bought a plain Zollstock because I don’t like garish colours and loud advertising, but I don’t know any other person who’s ever paid for one. They’re everywhere. Btw. Zollstock literally means “inch stick”, and most people still call it that. Some say Meterstab, which translates to “metre staff“ or metre stick. The official correct term is Gliedermaßstab (segmented measuring stick), which nobody uses.

@@ShadowFoam They’ve been around, though: old British folding rules are quite pretty, and I just Wikipedia’d it: they go way back, even the Romans had collapsible measuring sticks. The weird thing is the fact that this particular kind is so common in some areas, and virtually unknown in others. I generally prefer tape measures, but both have their pros and cons. Very uncommon in Germany: steel rules. I know they’re not that common in the UK either, but you do see them occasionally, whereas in Germany they’re pretty much only used in some trades.

I worked for a big american company. Part drawings came in Imperial dimensions (inch) , you needed an inch stick = "Zollstock". 10 vears later the drawings still came dimensioned in inch, and a line below with smaller text font in cm. And you got a inch stick (upper side inch, lower side in cm). Evaluation needs time ;-) 10 years later the drawings came dimensioned in mm, but still a line below in smaller text font in inch. dimensions. Aber meine Schiebelehre (ich weiß, ich weiß, ich weiß: "Meßschieber = caliper") has mm and inch (for the oldfashioned) 10 years later the inches were omitted, decimal made the run.

Der Zollstock war früher auch 2seitig bedruckt. Auf der einen Seite war das maßin Zoll angegeben ( daher der Begriff Zollstock) und auf der anderen Seite eben das metrische Maß. Im übrigen dürfen wir bei vielen industriellen Messungen den Zollstock wegen der immensen Toleranzen nicht einsetzen. Auf dem Bau und vielen anderen Gewerken sind die oft zu sehen, aber im Metallbau unbrauchbar.

As a child living in Hawaii 60 years ago, I attended Punahou, a prep school with very high standards. Every language teacher had to be native or have spent much time in country. Notable was the Russian teacher. She was Japanese and had been a spy in Russia during WWII. My Spanish teachers were from Mexico and Uruguay and Cuba. Needless to say, my pronunciation is good, but my vocabulary is sadly limited. I have been collecting and appreciating tools since I found a 6" adjustable Blue-Point wrench on the street when I was about 9 years old, so 65 years now. Perhaps my favorite pocket tool, which I have carried for 27 years, is a Select-a-Bit driver which has 8 double ended 1/4" bits stored in the handle. With 4 Torx, 4 Phillips, 4 hex, 2 flat, and 2 square bits, it is rare that I cannot do a quick disassembly without going to my toolbox.

Some history behind number 6 - "Zollstock" which is a translation of "Tumstock" the original Swedish name. Invented by a Swede named Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén in the late 1800s as a way to help fellow Swedes to transition to the Metric system. Having both inch ("Tum”) and centimeter on the Tumstock to ease the transition, hence the name "Tumstock" which still lives on. Although the correct name for the all metric version is "meterstock". Original manufacturer is Hultafors AB. And yes, all Tumstockar (plural of Tumstock) should all lock in, and be somewhat stiff when folding or unfolding. And interesting fact is that Hultafors produce 13 700 000 meter of meterstock every year, same as the distance between the factory in Hultafors, Sweden and the facotry in Australia.

Bereits drei Jahre später fand der Klappmeter auf der Weltausstellung in Paris große Beachtung.

The Stabila Zollstock is the best quality. Followed by Würth. There is a huge philosophy war under German contractors, brick layers and plumbers… metallic hinges over plastic ones? The construction of the hinges is also very important:) And if you open up a beer bottle, always unfold one part to not ruin the print. „Zoll“ translates to „inch“.

a note to the Zollstock: Zoll is the german word for inch. And Zollstock is only known in northern Germany, in the South we say Meterstab. And no one buys a Meterstab, thats the typical giveaway at craft fairs or at the wood-dealer. In most countries metal-measuring-tapes are used at construction-site, in Germany all caftsmen use a Meterstab. And all work trousers have a special pocket for it at the left leg.

@@ShadowFoam I was looking into injection molding for a project years ago. One of the companies I looked at sent out demo parts showing various things. One of them showed all of the things that can go wrong. Like how the wall can buckle if your mold is too thick around a support and so on. How parts shrink when cooling too. The molds are made out of insanely strong metal that’s really hard to machine. You can sometimes make prototypes out of softer metals but I don’t think that’s always practical. Making snap fit parts also seemed to be an interesting challenge since the parts won’t match the mold perfectly. It really gave me an appreciation for the challenges in molding parts. I’d guess that the Keter engineers are skilled enough to be able to give you good feedback on what will and won’t work without having to do insane numbers of prototypes.

The interesting thing is that the typical german 2 m Zollstock is pretty much a cheap tool. You can get them basically everywhere, with every kind of branding or advertisement on them. There are wood ones and plastic ones. And since they're so cheap and easy to find, they are pretty much wear parts. No trouble if one breaks. No issue if you cut into one or hit them with a drill. Just grab another one.

In Germany, work clothes for craftsmen usually have a pocket for a Zollstock on the trousers. Yesterday I bought an extendable ratchet to replace a broken seat belt buckle in my car. Despite the extension, it was still quite a feat of strength to loosen the screw connection. Because of the forces that a seat belt has to withstand, they are firmly screwed to the vehicle body.

Connex and Werkzeyt are from companys that totaly or mostly put their label on a lot of different tools. Usually I think it is not competetive to top tier brands like Hazet, Gedore, Wera, Knipex, NWS. But there is no empirical data to underline my thoughts for there are no tests. But they always good enough for home users and semi professional works. And they have sometimes very interesting and handy tools. I own some Connex tools too. The store Bauhaus has a lot of screwdrivers that are labeled Wisent but they are manufactured by Wera. I also have seen pliers from NWS that were hanging arround with an different label/branding on it.
@in-kognito8997

Furthermore it is totaly common to call the measurment tools Zollstock. But the correct term would be Gliedermaßstab. Zollinch but the scale on it is in centimeters, metrical measure.

@in-kognito8997

And the very good Zollstöcke/Gliedermaßstäbe have special markings in in joints printed. There you can sometimes read 15°, 12,5°, 45°. And the scales are with mm marks from 0 to 2m. Cheaper Zollstöcke start with mm at 20cm.

I thought there would be not a lot of differences in a global market, now I see, I was wrong. #7 Werkzeyt bit extenders - I have the 150mm and 300 mm in my toolbox for hard to reach screws. Nice thing too is, they're locking, so you don't loose the bit in any condition #6 Zollstock - (Inch-stick) most common measuring device since the early 1800s, the locking joints are an invention from 1886 (patented), nowadays challenged, but not replaced by tape-measures. 'trendline' is a budget brand, the original is from 'Stabila' and comes in many variations from 1m to 4m, sometimes with additional features like seperate markings for use as a multi-angle speedsquare, center-finder etc. Almost no toolbox in Germany without one. Almost every company in construction business has them as a gift for customers with their own logo. #4 Multitool paint-scraper - this is new to me too - but seems like a handy little thing - I DON'T WANT ONE. #3 Würth - company famous for its innovations on screws and dowels but nowadays for its tools and storage systems too - sadly they only sell to companies, not to end-consumers like me - would love to dig into their shop, certainly a fairly expensive experience - lol #2 Bessy - well known for their innovative clamps. The blades are specialized for carpet-laying, PVC-flooring and such #1 Wiha silent ratchet - around about 20 years now in different shapes and sizes, I have one with a t-like handle and a very short one, smaller than my fist, for tight spaces. Amazing, how much torque they can handle - good choice
