An anecdote that illustrates the biggest problem for me with these. I’m portuguese and I’ve never even heard of Bi-office, let alone see them in stores.
There has to be an incentive for shops to market these (other than the tariffs). We need euro or EU markings.
Bahco is European. And is one of the best tools in quality. Bosch it depends where it was manufactured could be just ok, or the worst shit you can buy .
wheres koh-i-noor
Bosch ftw
Caran d’Ache are Swiss… Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)
Dremel rules
How is Tesa missing here?
don’t buy cocraft. its just no-name chinesium tools with a swedish label.
I didn’t know Stiga was acquired by the Italians.
Not European, but I use mostly Makita tools. Anything not American is a winner.
Scheppach may be German, but their products are all generic, cheap, white label Chinese designs. Not sure that counts.
I’m aware most if not all of these companies produce in China, but at least it’s their designs in many cases.
Same for Cocraft as far as I know (Clas Ohlson white label)
Einhell make some Great Budget Tools.
I used to hate einhell, but they came a long way.
Same here. I like the battery system they have that literally fits on almost anything they make nowadays. Very diverse range, good bang for the buck.
Würth, Assa Abloy.
Didn’t realise Bahco were American.
Ugh, me neither. Bought by Snap-On according to Wikipedia:
Bahco is a Swedish brand within the hand tool industry, which is now part of SNA Europe, part of Snap-on.
Shocked that Leitz is no longer German, but an US company. 😲
@Blaze: are doing anything else that posting in BuyEuropean? 😉
