OMG it’s an album?! I need to hear that 😂 or is that the movie soundtrack?

I dont think Kabo makes these as the switching mechanism is different, the drive is 12 pt not spline, and one end is fixed. Unless they offer multiple configurations that no one other than Tone uses I’d say Tone sources these elsewhere. If anything they look like Rotor group wrenches

I’ve got a set of old craftsman sockets that reference metric as M/M. Probably early 80’s vintage

Thank you!

You guys are getting these from Idaka? I don’t see where hand tools brand they carry are listed. This looks more like industrial machines and machine tools. I’ll need another set of hands for how many ratchets I already have, but those SEKs are my favorite. This thread continues to drain my bank...

I don’t think Tone ratchets have been made in Japan for quite a while. New models say “Japan” as in Tone is a Japanese company. None of them say “Made in Japan”

Unfortunately the Toyo/ Truscos don’t have a tray. Would definitely help keep mine organized!

I’ve always used Clorox wipes but tub o towels may be similar. Gojo would work well too but seems better suited for a deep clean process. Not sure about diluted simple green or WD40? Definitely DO NOT use brake cleaner on plastic

Looks like the ST-350. Never seen it in red!

I have both in addition to a lunch box style 360. They’re great boxes! Highly recommended. The 350 Comes in two variations, one with tall handle which don’t fold down. Kind of a deal breaker for me so I got the one with the small handles

I this had been brought up before. Items that previously could be purchased on AZ Jp and effectively combined shipping, are now marked as out of stock if you have a US address. The only way to purchase these items is to use a separate shipping service like Rakuten or to pay the per item...

Hahah sure. So TrueCraft tools was a now defunct rebrander of mostlyJapanese tool in the 80s, 90s, and maybe early 2000s. Some of their better ratchets were made by Suekage tool company SEK which has since rebadged as ProAuto tools. That’s off the top of my head there’s mention of the brand...

While a different mechanism the function is similar on my TrueCraft (SEK, now Proauto) 3/8 wobble anvil ratchet. Can’t say I use it much.

I just picked up a set of these. I’m very impressed. Although some of the smaller sizes are overkill for torque. Careful tightening those 10mm bolts! lol. I can see them being great for access as well like deeply buried dash bolts. Getting those back in may prove the challenging part 🙃

Koken regular wobble extensions don’t play well with zeal sockets. It’s been mentioned in the Tools from Japan thread and I can confirm. The wobble section is longer and doesnt stay seated in the fixed position
