    Tools of Japan

    My current collection of Nepros. I am not a pro and I just work on my Japanese cars at home - so all metric for me. Some of you will hate me for this, but I have just sold the last of my Snap-on sockets and ratchets on Ebay and replaced them with this gear. My wrenches are still mainly Snap-on...

    S.E.K (Suekage Sangyo) tools?

    I have a 1/4" set including a ratchet and they are good, however, I still rate Ko-ken and KTC higher though in terms of finish and overall quality. My first S.E.K purchase was made in Japan. I bought a few Torx bit sockets in various sizes for bolts in my car door. I still have these too. I...

    I have found out that the kit is also available in the UK branded Sealey VS2030. I hope that helps? Chris

    The supplier/brand is Endeavour Tools (Australia). I bought it at a Total Tools Store (Australia).. I am guessing that it is made in Taiwan. I had seen custom made set-ups but not in a tool kit before. Chris

    I just picked this kit up to find that pesky turbo leak. This kit pressurizes the system to help you find leaks within the turbo piping etc. Smoke is probably the best way these days, but I can't justify the cost for a smoke machine for my use at home. This kit is as simple as disconnecting a...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Wow! I received the items today. I think I am addicted now. The package left Japan on the 24th and arrived on the 29th. I think it's pretty impressive considering the package was sent from Japan to China, from China to Singapore, Singapore to Sydney and from Sydney to Melbourne - all within 4-5...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    We don't have duty fees impossed on items bought oversea into Australia unless the value is over AU$1000-. If it is over that value, then it is a 10% duty. Anyway, I was pleased to receive an email tonight with an invoice and a tracking number. I have had a lot of experience with EMS mail in...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Hey guys. I live in Australia and I have just placed my first order via the nepros.net website. I only ordered a socket rail and a spark plug socket to test how long it takes to get here and check out the quality of the tools. I lived in Japan from 2011-2013 and bought a few KTC standard tools...

    Tools of Japan

    I actually work at a tool retailer in Australia, I lived in Japan for 2 years and I love Japanese tools! I bought the Sunflag screwdrivers here in Australia. They are not common, but they are distributed through a reasonably well known distributor who deals in many Japanese tools. They also...

    Tools of Japan

    Debate me if you will, but as far as I am concerned, these Sunflag screwdrivers are the best screwdrivers available. I love them, I really love them.
