STAHLWILLE WRENCHES | BEST FOR THE PRICE | (Made in Germany)

[@florianr.7505]

Stahlwille are also my favorite spanners. There exists 3 different versions. Open box 13 - normal version Open box 14 - long version and Open box 15 (no longer available) - special hex open side. The stamp of the size on the open side are the older version of Stahlwille spanners. All old spanners of Stahlwille has the size stamped on the open side. What is very special about Stahlwille chrome, they use a special procedure so the chrome can’t flake off. You may see on old spanners other tool brands chrome flake off and it’s very sharp so you can hurt. Not so the Stahlwille chrome. It does not flake off.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Good know that sizes used to be stamped on open end side in old days. I have plan to buy 14 series in future due to its length and off set feature. I totally agree with you that Stahlwille chrome does not flake off and I like it rough look.

[@timothyegan3114]

fellow mechanic here. i agree Stahwille are one of the best. i have spent alot of money on snap on tools, stahwillle, hazet etc and stahlwille is best

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Greetings. Exactly, Stahlwille wrenches are 3 time cheaper than other premier brands and quality is top notch.

[@barrelgardener7527]

Nice wrenches. My favorite is the Hazet long wrenches, I will probably get a set of them.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

I have Hazet extra long master set wrenches and indeed those are robust too.

Perfect chois/combination, not the strongest in field, but for sure very helpful in critical situations.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

This set is serving me well so far. Nice and robust

[@David_Nakashidze]

I just bought the Hazet 600spc set. The finish isn’t great and there are chips on many spanners. I also have the Stahlwille open box 13 set of spanners and they finish is great, every details is manufactured accurately. It’s a pleasure to use them. I’m thinking of if I have done the right choice with the Hazet, let’s see in practice, or I could have gone with an alternative which would have costed half the cost, like Tekton

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

I have full set of Hazet wrenches but in longer length. They are absoultetly nicely finished and strong as you can get. Pretty satisfied with the wrenches. Their customer service is good, just send them back and get replacement. But my all time favorites are Stahlwille wrenches though.

[@David_Nakashidze]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos I think we are lucky as we are able to have both top spanner sets, it’s a pleasure work with them!

[@robertwootton2161]

I have a 1/2af combination wrench from 40 years ago stahwille it also has a 13 on it in the same place as your 13mm

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

All Stahlwille spanners has forged number except the biggest. Someone one in the comment said his wrenches dont have forged number on them which I find weird.

[@EdAtoZ]

On the subject of size marking on wrenches / spanners. I have got into the habet of using a sharpie to mark the size in bigger text size, I find if a clean the wrench than mark the size on going over that text twice and then let them sit over night the stay on fairly well. Yes some fluids can remove them but than after cleaning the wrench just remark them. I also color code them Black for metric and yellow for SAE / A.F..

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

It sounds great way to that. Personally, I try to keep my tools in original condition and I like how the numbers are forged (like in old days) instead of stamped.

[@EdAtoZ]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos Question the puller you were using for the wheel bearing. Can tell me the maker and model number ?

@@EdAtoZ It's BGS. Here is link and info: amzn.to/3oxuOxt

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos maybe the wording is different. I was talking about the bearing puller that you were turning with the wrench / spanner.

[@andrewscott8892]

Thank you for the video. I cant stand skips either, it's cost me a lot of money but that's ok every set is a complete set

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Thanks bro. Yeah there were many instances when I had some set and missing one I needed in crucial time.

[@98audiquattro]

Great video and I agree with you on the price comparison with snap on set. Saving up to get me the 30 piece Hazet wrench set as they are priced around $700 dollars a fraction of what snap on wants. I have many snap on tools but usually try to buy them used in good condition. The new prices for the snap on tools are astronomical I just can't see the justification to purchase new. Always looking for deals at my local pawn shops.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Exacty, buying second hand Snap-on tools is a smart thing.

[@heavymachinery2843]

I mainly use gedore wrenches but stahlwille wrenches are awesome 👍

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

My colleagues use gedore wrenches and they are robust too. Hazet, Gedore and Stahlwille wrenches top notch quality

[@6900pilot]

I own the 14 series in the stahlwille up to 32mm, they are longer and have a nicer crank on the ring end. Beautiful wrenches, I also own the hazet 600n in the long version up to 32mmand gedore from 34 to 50mm. Sockets range from wera, hazet, stahlwille, gedore, heyco, elora from 1/4 to 3,/4 inch in all the brands. I guess you could call me a German tool fan! 😅 how are things with you?? John.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Lots of people like 14 series. But I wanted best possible combination with standard, long and offset. But may be i get 14 series in future. Yeah, I know you are big fan of German tools same as me lolzzz. This video is old. I am recovering. Hopefully I will get back well.

[@donwasse7892]

I thought about purchasing a set of those wrenches, but I seen where they performed poorly on the Torque Test Channel.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

I mentioned about this in the video, there must be something wrong with the spanner or it might be faulty one. Or it could be fake since there are Stahlwille fake wrenches around the internet. I used these wrenches in tough situations, hammered them hard but never broken or deform a single one. Many of my colleagues, friends etc have them for years. I was surprised too watching that torture test.

[@whatfreedom7]

You have to be careful where you purchase from. There are a lot of fake products out there now. Amazon and eBay is a bad place to buy from.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

The reason Snap-on charges so much is that the purchaser pays in installments. They can pay a certain amount of money every 2 weeks or every month. Which is a convenience that people gladly paid the sir charge for.....

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Yeah, and Snap-on offers door to door truck service. But still 380$ vs 1988$ is enormous difference.

[@isaaclegg7935]

G'day bloke. , just wondering if you would be able to tell me the thickness of the open ended jaws on say the 27 mm, I'm looking for a set with thinner jaws like the old kinchrome stuff used to have, but having trouble finding anything close in modern spanners, cheers

[@randlecycling2462]

I have the older Stahlwille spanners 10-19mm which had the size forged on the open end as well but Stahlwille removed it. I called Stahlwille because I bought more and thought they were fake because of the missing stamping but confirmed they stopped doing it which was disappointing.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

It's weird coz mine has forged number on every spanner but 34 and 38 mm don't. I wanted forged number on bigger spanners too

[@randlecycling2462]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos that's interesting, I wish I could get them with the forged some how. I checked today and my old 13 series don't have forging but 14 series do

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

@@randlecycling2462 That's interesting, these should be forged. I have seen spanner making process (Not Stahlwille). I think it has to do with the ''Die'' they use. These Dies get deformed with the time and they grind and fine tune the deformed ''Dies'' for further use. I assume since the numbers are small and may not be renewed and remove the numbers completely, so they keep using the old ''Die'' until its unusable thus number disappears for those lots. I am just assuming. But as you said, you contacted the Stahlwille and they confirmed its removed. Only Stahlwille can answer that why did they remove it.

[@randlecycling2462]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos yes perhaps this is true. I phoned Stahlwille in England because I was living there at the time but I wouldn't trust them and would only trust the head office in Germany.

@@randlecycling2462 I planned to visit their factory in the future if get opportunity and I am gonna ask about this straight lolzz. By the way there are fake Stahlwille wrenches around the internet but the difference of surface finish is easily recognizable

[@spencermaiers8322]

Tools giant and mister worker have stahlwille priced well. Extremely high quality. Stahlwille I believe is OEM for several European high end mfgs. Bmw I am confident uses then. I have many stahlwille tools. Best bang for the buck for non Asian tools. Not cheap not expensive. A set on Amazon was 2x what tools giant wanted. Shipping from Germany has increased. Unsure about mister worker shipment costs.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

I totally agree on quality and price of Stahlwille. I dont have experience from Tool giant or mister worker. Since I manage to get free shipping from amazon so I chose mostly amazon or some time autdoc. Mister worker add shipment and VAT even in EU so it become bit expensive for me.

[@adnanfile]

Thanx for vdo. Keep it up

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

[@EdAtoZ]

Car repair, does the set have 31mm or 33mm wrenches / spanners ?

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

Yeah, it's missing 31 and 33 mm. Just wondering where would you use these sizes?

[@EdAtoZ]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos 31mm is used in two different areas 1) bigger riding lawn mowers, use 31mm as the back / pre-load nut for the mower deck bearing that control the shaft to the lower blades. For example my X-march. 2) small Japans sub compact cars from the 1980's thru the 1990's for the lower struts. Yes obsolete example but was the first place I ran into then and finding a socket in 31mm back then was next to impossible. I got one from Elora a german tool company you never hear about on youtube. 33mm is the metric replacement for (1 and 5/16 of an inch "SAE size"). Example Semi-truck lug nuts and I am told some sub-compact car use 33mm as when bear nut. I have not seen that one myself. The only maker of 31mm wrench that I know of is Tekton "worth talking about". My 31mm wrench is a Mac tools discontinued . 33mm wrench I have a Facom 440 series short pattern and a Stanley short pattern.

[@carrepairandtoolsvideos]

@@EdAtoZ cool to know about about you just shared. I know about Elora Tools but never have one. I think Stahlwille offers 31 and 33 mm wrenches separately. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

[@EdAtoZ]

@@carrepairandtoolsvideos The torque test channel tested the Stahlwille pattern 14 wrenches in one video and people said that it seemed low so the channel went back and tested the pattern #13 and got better number by a good bet. If you want I could find the second video and leave a link.

@@EdAtoZ Thanks buddy, I watched it just now. I have lots of experience with Stahlwille wrenches and have seen many of my friends using it, I would rate these wrenches one of best if not the best.

Every one has different experience. Gedore are good too. I have seen many people own Stahlwille wrenches for years even decades without any problem. I have no problem so far. Lets see how long these survive
