A quick google search of Ahrem's Goodline showed a variety of tools, but
most seemed to be in Aus and NZ, with some in South Africa.  Maybe these
were made for the export market, and decided they needed to match the local
style.

I saw sockets, hand drills, planes as you described, horse combs, knives,
saw sets etc.
