    3 Nepros NS2 open ended wrenches (28/32, 22/24, 19/21) arrived today. I have been on the lookout for a decent wrench organiser, I spotted the KTC TEH1SM on Amazon Japan which looked like it might do the job, unfortunately it looks like the larger Nepros wrenches will not fit in the holders...

    Tools of Japan

    Having previously purchased the Nepros 10mm T handle, I really wanted to get my hands on the other 3 in the range (8mm, 12mm & 14mm) unfortunately none of the suppliers on Amazon Japan sent direct to the UK so my only option seemed to be via the official Nepros site. However after doing some...

    Tool wedding gift for husband?

    far better to ask him exactly what he wants, chances are whatever you get will not be the tool/make/model he wanted and after expressing his appreciation for it, eventually it will be unused.

    Tools of Japan

    There are plenty of pictures of the boxes that the Nepros ratchets arrive in, imagine my surprise when I opened my latest package of Nepros goodness, 10mm T Handle How am I supposed to sneak that into the toolbox without the Mrs spotting it ? :unsure:

    Tools of Japan

    Carried out a small test purchase from Nepros to the UK, and same as with my experience dealing with Amazon Japan, the delivery via DHL took 3 working days to arrive in my hand. And again no value shown on the outside of the box and no import/vat fees to pay. Purchased the 8/10 12/14 & 17/19...

    Nothing major, just some Asahi metrics, but I was itching to make a test purchase from Amazon Japan (to the UK) to see how things were handled. Glad to say I am very impressed, purchased these at the weekend and they arrived this morning (Wednesday), pain-free from purchase to delivery. I was...

    Tools of Japan

    I was having a browse around the Koken.jp website, and I might be mistaken as I do not speak Japanese but this looks like a product recall that came out two weeks ago on some of the 1/4" Z series ratchets, can anyone shed any light on this, don't want to be purchasing something that has a known...

    Tools of Japan

    I have been looking at purchasing some Koken and Nepros, I live in England and UKtools are able to supply a goodly amount of Koken stuff, however the availability of Nepros here leaves a lot to be desired, so I reached out to KTC Japan for more info and this is the reply... We currently do not...

    Not really a tool but the quality is so good I think they deserve a post. I was very tempted to get the ones with size labels, but in the end I went with the blanks. 1/4" and 3/8" metric Westling socket trays, (the 1/2" ones should be arriving within the next 2 weeks all being well).

    youtube channel on tools

    ChrisCas - Tool Aficionado is my favourite tool reviewer at the moment, although he specialises mainly in Japanese tools. I believe he buys them all himself and works for a living so the youtube content is strictly a part time gig Does the occasional 'in use' content Will also point out...
