Here’s my recent haul from the last few weeks, including Black Friday. I think I’m set for a bit, at least until I find something I can’t live without! Facom reversible ratcheting wrench set - I waited to see Tekton’s new line and ended up going with these. Purchased from Mister Worker and were...

Wow….FOMO really got me. I’ve actually wanted this for a while so I‘m also taking advantage of the deal.

The problem with Amazon.jp these days is that their assortment is pretty limited For US shoppers. DRPD will generally have the best discounted price (retail - % off) with a good assortment. Koken USA will have the best assortment and good discount but their retail prices generally start off a...

Malco locking clamps from Acme Tool. Under $25 for each + $10 off coupon brought the total for all 4 at just over $100 with tax & shipping. Everyone already knows but these are awesome. Worthy of a Joe Dirt “dang”.

Are the IPS pliers bent nose and spring loaded? I have the straight version and are one of my favorites.

The TOOLGUYD discount code is also subject to the $79 minimum.

You and me both! Just ordered two of each. They were on my list to pickup at HJE when I‘m in Kansas City next week but my “shopping list” for that trip is already more than it needs to be.

Those Tsubosan files look suspiciously similar to the KTC file set. Good little set if they are, I like mine! The KTCs come in a little roll up pouch.

Koken 3/8 drain plug socket - I’ve been using ratchet drive ends on my Honda transmission for drain-and-fills and the ball detent makes the task harder than it needs to be. Facom 440xl 14mm and 17mm - wanted to get my hands on these to see how I liked the brand’s wrenches. It’s a shame they...

Stahlwille 1/2” metric sockets from Mister Worker. Im replacing all of my Tekton socket sets (just metric for now) with higher end options, going German made in this drive size. The only flaw I see is that the 30mm and 32mm sockets have seemingly been used. I’ll email them but I also recognize...

double post

interesting. I’ve considered picking up a BR3E ratchet but have yet to pull the trigger, opting for the koken 72t instead. Do you have any other details on this sale? Timing and is it available to North American customers?

Just saw that the new Nepros neXT ratchet is in stock at DRPD. Anyone planning on picking one up? With 10+ 3/8 ratchets already, I don’t “need” it but…I kinda want to check it out.

Following up with shipment 2 of 2 from Amazon.JP via the US storefront. To the question about shipping, these were offered with free shipping. First time I’ve gotten my hands on anything from Keiba and I’m impressed with the quality. Note the set screw/stopper on these 100mm nippers to keep...

Amazon.US had some good deals on some Japanese tools so this is one of two orders…couldn’t help myself. Tsunda 200mm needle nose pliers - $10.97 Anex 90 degree trim tools - ~$17 for both Anex bit coin blade - $6.60 The pliers are great like my other Tsunoda’s, the trim tools give me an angle I...
