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.

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.

Why are men always bragging about tool sizes?

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.

You are lucky, I still had the window open. So here is what I searched for.

Good luck with that Volvo.

Farmers tool, so basically fencing pliers for hashing and bashing as farmers tend to do

Anything can be used as a hammer if you look at it long enough.

Aye and Farmers and Fishermen look long and hard at things.

Saves a long and tedious trudge or swim back to the base for an item.

No, sadly it means I have to sort out a hashed and bashed lump before I can even start to repair the initial problem

7.5kw single phase to 3 phase 380V VFD for the lathe

 

[Pete.]

I hope you've got a healthy supply to feed that VFD

If you can’t fix it with a lump hammer or a gas axe, you’ve got an electrical problem

I am in the same ‘boat’ as hood. I often have to take a lot of steps backwards to get to the original problem before I can go forward. I put a set of work lights on a tractor today. After getting rid of the farmer boy hillbilly wiring I’d basically rewired the damn thing!!

They are even worse the further North you go, spent a few summers up in Caithness.
