    I was hoping to see one of those too. I also wanted to see a longer handled 1/2“ drive!

    Took some photos of my 3/4" Drive Asahi ASH VR0650 ratchet.

    I’ve had overall good results with various Japanese manufacture’s cutters. I reach for my Victor Plus cutters a lot, and they are plenty hard and tough. I’ve had some Merry cutters with very soft edges, and some which can cut nails with no problem. I find Knipex is pretty hard to beat and some...

    For some reason I have a soft spot for Aigo. I use my vintage finds quite a bit!

    Got me some KTC SAE combination wrenches up to 3/4. The fit and finish is nice and I love the crisp forging on the logo and size designations.

    I got some Koken SAE 3/8” drive sockets to keep and use at work. 1/4”-3/4” Interesting about the Zeal rails being found other places… I went out and checked an old Kobalt rail I had in a drawer and lo and behold it had exactly the same clips!

    I have two of them in 1/4” & 3/8” drive, and I’ve liked them very much. Decent backdrag, I like socket retention feature, and it’s fun to have some Deen gear from Factory gear!

    Got a set of Koken’s SAE 1/4” drive nut grip sockets. Now let’s hope they do a run of 3/8 drive!

    After really liking the 1/4” drive Koken nutgrip sockets, I went ahead and got me some in 3/8” drive. (Plus a little 3/8”-1/4” adapter/extension)

    Nice haul! I think the Lobtex are really great! Btw where’d you get the Koken mat/towel?

    I like it! And nice wrench too. I’ve been looking for a 150mm and a 600mm for months but I’ve only seen one 600mm on some Malaysian site that I couldn’t figure out.

    Post some pictures of the sloppy finish.

    Found and added a 300mm & 200mm to my vintage Aigo lineup. (The 300mm has never been used and is like new) -Brando

    Nice! You deserve it! (Probably) :)

    I got them on Amazon Japan. The wrenches I bought individually. Incidentally, they must not have been manufactured at the same time because there are slight differences in the forging of the logo and size designations.
