@yngmar@social.tchncs.de Blaukraft GmbH ceased operations and went through corporate liquidation in 2014. They spent their last few years importing Chinese power tools and selling it under their own brand. This era kit is on par with Einhell or Parkside; i.e. not great. @mcSlibinas@mastodon.social

@fedops@fosstodon.org @mcSlibinas@mastodon.social I don't think they ever sold anything that was made in Germany, always only Chinese imports: https://openregister.de/company/DE-HRB-M1301-2392 That's not a problem in itself, I have many good Chinese tools, the top rated Canadian designed sawmill is made entirely in China, etc. But you are being fooled if you think anything about these tools is German (apart from the name, although they also sell under "Blaucraft"). These were probably not even sold in Germany, same as those air compressors. They are Gariunai turgus era brands, start a Gmbh, print some cardboard boxes and logos, sell Chinese tools at a better markup, make some money.

@fedops@fosstodon.org @yngmar@social.tchncs.de i have hammer drill and has big angle grinder from blaukraft. Idk from what year, maybe before 2014? Angle grinder is dead, but it's pure my fault. But that's just one example of no-one-knows german tool, so their price is good. Other rip deal was Wiha bits - between ovepriced stuff you can find some amazing bits for good price. Even cheaper Eu tools is much better than chinesium stuff our genius business importing from the junk sources.
