Can the profiteile website be viewed in English or is it German only?

Now I have some injuries witch need to heal up before I can continue. I had a bit of an incident on monday, i was trying to get a brakepiston out of the caliper using compressed air(8bar/120psi). It shot out busting my fingers.

Hope your not having lunch:




got lucky, nothing broken
