Proxxon tools are great! I thought they where a german company, but they are from Luxembourg.

Wera is a bit pricier but also very worthy for its cost.

I feel like Proxxon is the Noctua of tools โ€“ the color scheme is hideous, but if you're after quality, you don't care about the looks. Or is it the other way around and Noctua is the Proxxon of fans?

Man, never heard of Noctua before. They are so good?

To be honest, I quiet like the color sheme. Reminds me of an old Nintendo Game and Watch, I had as a kid. But since my Gaming PC is pure black and well hidden under the desk, nobody would notice anyway. ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, they're mostly known for being super silent and reliable. They do have special-application fans too (high airflow/high static pressure) and for PCs where color is of importance, there are some black-and-gray variants.
