Attention to detail: the Montbrun Mécanique workshop restores old motorbikes
Thomas Brune, the current workshop manager at Monbrun Mécanique, has been collecting and restoring vintage motorbikes since he was 13 years old.
Challenge
Thomas Brune has a great passion: vintage motorbikes. In particular, motorbikes from the period between 1900 and 1960, and he has turned this passion into a profession with his workshop Montbrun Mécanique. He repairs and restores these valuable two-wheelers for private customers as well as companies in the construction and agricultural sectors. Each motorbike is worked on with care and attention to detail: authenticity is very important to him. He therefore endeavours to use techniques and materials that are in keeping with the times.
Solution
During his training as a skilled worker in machining technology, Thomas Brune met a representative from Depetri, who provided tools for the lessons. Depetri is a FORMAT dealer and gave him a FORMAT catalogue as a gift. He has been working with the products ever since. These include hand tools such as the 5-piece pliers set (EAN: 4317784632416), 10-piece open-end spanner set with ring ratchet and joint (EAN: 4317784632683) and the flat countersink set (EAN: 4317784476560) from FORMAT. The 3D probe (4317784638197) will be his next purchase.
Advantages
Collector’s items need to be handled with great precision and care. Only selected products with which the best possible result can be achieved are used here. Thomas Brune appreciates FORMAT products because of their high quality, which is in no way inferior to other brands. The excellent price-performance ratio also plays a major role for the workshop manager. Depetri continues to supply the workshop with FORMAT products to this day.
