Who makes this wrench from Japan?

[Achilleus]

I just noticed I had this lonely wrench, no idea how I have it amongst all the Huskys. Can anyone ID the brand?

Snap-on Japan, that there is an s20, worth about 43,375.30 Yen.

Looks like a KTC from a Toyota OEM toolkit. My Lexus RX350 has an almost identical wrench.

KTC probably, they have over the years made a bunch of those wrenches.

Thanks! Never knew about ktc tools till today. That's some nice stuff they got there!

Definitely the same as the KTC wrench in my Toyota kit.

KTC is the Japan domestic tool for mechanics and lots of OEMs.
Their standard line is pretty high quality, but the Nepros line is made to standards well above most any brand.

Some other good ones to look out for are Koken, Vessel, Tone, and Engineer.

Dang, I had a handful of those in my hands today, but I did not buy any of them. Instead, I ended up buying about 15 screwdrivers. It's a sickness boys and it's got me by the kahunas,,,

So is this also KTC?





Regardless, I can probably take 80% of my 4Runner apart with it

I've been using Japanese tools (KTC, NePros, Tone, Koken, Sunflag, Vessel, other) for 10+ years and If I had to do all over again, I would have started with them and augmented with SO/Mac/Tekton for my application.

You will LOVE KTC stuff (shameless pics below):

The wrenches are all over Japan, super easy to get. They came on a lot of cars through the years. I picked these up today in hobby off. Gonna display them. Other brands also offer them in their vehicle.
