^^^^This^^^^ I bought a pair of Channellock needle nose pliers and was using them (NOT abusing them) and noticed the tip had bent out about 30 degrees. Beat the tip back into place, but the pliers (Made in US) are complete garbage. Was going to try Tekton, have always had a good experience...

The mail in warranty isn't an issue for me since I don't make a living turning a wrench, and in 40 years of restoring cars, I've broken exactly TWO tools. An 8mm Kobalt wrench on a Porsche gearbox detent (installed by Hans the Gorilla), and a Snap On 3/8" long ratchet. Interestingly, the 8mm...

Cool stuff guys, thanks!

Thanks DD T/A. The funny thing is, I can barely remember him ever turning a wrench in his life, so I have no idea why these would be in his toolbox, let alone a complete set. LOL I have them in my flare wrench drawer now, can't think of a reason I'd use these over a standard Snap-on 6pt...

Came across these in my dad's old tools, brought them home. Someone suggested I post them here to learn more about them. Any information on these? Proto 12 pt line wrenches. Marked "MFD Los Angeles USA"

Thanks, will do!

Was going through my dad's old tools and brought these home. Any information on these? Proto 12 pt (???) line wrenches. Marked "MFD Los Angeles USA" Thanks!

Thank You!

Where can you get these shipped to the US? I looked on Amazon.jp and Rakuten, neither will ship these to a US address.

Any update on what specific tools will be released first in May? I'm really interested in that set of SAE long ratcheting combo wrenches...

Final Update: My order shipped today, Frank followed up, and it turns out my emails ended up in his spam folder. Neither of us knows why, but a great resolution, and I'm glad it turned out well for both parties. I'll be ordering from him again in the future.

UPDATE: Frank reached out to me via PM, he did not receive my emails (not sure why), he told me my order is shipping tomorrow, so all's well that ends well, and I'm glad that he is still a viable option alternative to Amazon.jp. As I stated earlier, I always try to support small businesses...

Yep, did that. Now at the 2 week point without a tracking number or response to 3 emails. I'm calling the CC company to issue a chargeback tomorrow and let them deal with it. I'll drop an order with Amazon.jp and chalk him up as a "Do NOT do business with" vendor.

Thanks, definitely get that and have no issue with waiting, but the complete lack of response is not really acceptable. I'll give it a couple more days, then just cancel and order from Amazon.JP or Rakutan. It's really too bad, I always try to support the mom and pop vendors when I have a...

Long time lurker here. Does anyone have an update on Frank's Tools? I placed an order for some Koken sockets and extensions based on things I read here on GJ about his good customer service, so far LESS than impressed. Placed the order on Feb 7th, have sent a couple of emails, and have...
