Ties in with my post then, most likely made by Stahl.

Great!

The word "STAHL" just means steel, it's not a maker.

Thanks :clapping:

They make tools now, Chinese origin most likely

Very similar design.

Yes, I've been observing that a lot lately:

"Brand" names are popping up in rough mounds that either have a meaning in German or English, sound like a family name from one of those countries, or are borrowed from formerly great quality names.

And then there is nothing behind them.

To market something in Germany under the manufacturer "STAHL" ~100 years ago would not have made sense, it was rather probably a reference to the fact that the tool was made of steel as opposed to less tempered iron.

When building fences, what do you grab and turn with that toothed mouth?

And what is this V for?

Thanks.

Fence staples, and tack/nail puller.

Watched the video.
I don't know if it's a typical US close: Read German and think military.

On the much closer thought of fence building he did not come at all. :vsad:

At the end of the video you can see the stamping in closeup.
" eumschüssel - ermany".
This seems to stand for: "Reumschüssel - Germany"

There was a pliers factory Oskar Reumschüssel & Co.
in Hauptstraße 33, Steinbach-Hallenberg, Thuringia (this would become part of the later GDR)

His tool really seems to be much more noble: with me the handle has no knurling, but the hammer is more pronounced, my tool also seems to be altogether larger one, no marking.

Aye, I tend to avoid a lot of USA Youtube content, tends to be full of, as we say here, wind and p*ss. I haven't watched the video but it just came up in a search and looked similar.

I'm on my way to Rotherham now. Picking up a load of horse shoes from a mate who has a skip full. I may as well jump on the 'horse shoe art' band waggon, seeing as I haven't got a job now and I'm a bit bored.

You should have asked me just after I posted, afraid I have been trying to find out what a fault code on the boss's V40 is and I can't remember, probably the thought of the expense, bloody cars

Its a metaphor for being a hundred kilos of dynamite with a half inch fuse. :whistle:
