Wait what? I thought all of those were made in a Japanese factory. I just googled it. The AI overview, which is notoriously wrong, said they were all made in a Japanese factory. Ugggg.Order in from Deen Tools, I was not aware when ordering that they are not Japanese made tool. A bit of a letdown for sure, had I known that I might not have ordered. That is 100% on me. Looking forward to seeing how I like these roto head ratchets. I got two that are 3/8 in a 1/4 body.

Will test it out and report back. I was able to snag for $95 so couldn’t pass up. Made in Taiwan. Not sure if nowadays Craftsman is Taiwan only or also some China stuff.
It hurts when my local store doesn't have them in stock.One more post of these can’t hurt
Mine either. I got shipped and it showed up fast. Free next day ship
Wow, great price.
They are indexed a bit differently (I don’t even notice till the post). They look worse in the picture. I could have took more time to line up the logos. In person they are much closer.
Exactly - most of the tools are made in Taiwan. Many of the pliers seem to be made in Germany. They're mirror chromed to give them a bit of a Snap On look. Though for the money I'd rather buy a Japanese made tool - I thought it was a little curious that Factory Gear's house brand was made outside Japan.

So this one was a bit of a surprise. I posted a picture of my Montezuma 30”x19” box on a giveaway post on the Montezuma Facebook group not even knowing what the prize was. Got a message a couple days later that I had won and this showed up today.
Not really sure what I’ll do with it. It doesn’t really fill a need in my shop or function well enough to keep in the truck. I may gift it to my buddy or one of my nephews. Either way it was cool to win something for once!
It’s been mentioned on GJ at least a few times in the past, that the Deen Tools were made in Taiwan, despite being from a Japanese company.
That would be a perfect box for the house with basic tools. No need to run to the garage, just walk to the house box.So this one was a bit of a surprise.

You are correct... Sadly so. Good for since things, but it confidently States wedding things....
Hehe. Was that on porpoise?
Who doesn't love a soft box?I'm liking the softbox effect:
Just gotta check my corners a bit more carefully.
No. It's a standard Bowen flange mount and stand.
True! I never made any money off it though.
My boss resembles that remark
Dave is that you?!, gets yur *** back to work.My boss resembles that remark
For some reason, I just find this little box cool.So this one was a bit of a surprise. I posted a picture of my Montezuma 30”x19” box on a giveaway post on the Montezuma Facebook group not even knowing what the prize was. Got a message a couple days later that I had won and this showed up today.

I bought a pair of Sunex 1/4" drive magnetic sockets from Amazon, around $6.50 each.
On the left is the 1/4" socket, made in China.
On the right is the 9/32" socket, made in Taiwan.
The 1/4" socket has a magnet so deeply recessed (4.95mm deep) that it has only a weak hold on a short #10 hex-washer-head sheet metal screw. I am not a fan of the made in China socket. The 9/32" socket has the magnet recessed at a more shallow 3.30mm, same as my Sunex metric sockets in the smaller sizes such as 6mm.
Today I used the made-in-China 1/4" Sunex magnetic socket once, to hold a 1" long hex bit, and the magnet popped out.
I am very unimpressed with Sunex right now. I am going to buy a Proto 1/4" magnetic socket. It uses a hybrid magnet that is mixed with nylon, and completely fills the socket.
