    I also have bought a few things from Tokyo Off Road. Top notch for sure. My favorite is the piston pin tool, it allows you to hammer out the wrist pin without putting any pressure on the crank, nothing else does the job better. The oil drain tool lets me leave the skid plate on while doing...

    The only good thing about those Wera sets is the pouch organizers. I used to have those in both long and sort lengths. The ball detent HF function makes them weak. I broke/deformed multiple 6mm working on bicycles. Also, they mar fasteners. If you use the hex HF ones on painted bolts it...

    @mercifiknow The o ring picks do not come in a set. Do yourself a favor and add the Tone one to your next Amazon jp order. I always grab that one first. It feels great and is small and compact.

    I have been using a KTC and Tone o ring pick for about a year now. The Tone has a nicer finish than the snap on one I have.

    Try and get the KTC wrenches, that way you know country of origin. Tone can be tricky. see link below. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B001EQ8GLO/ AND, Koken ratchets are backwards. I never thought about switch orientation but when I first started using Koken it is one of the first...

    I basically only use T-handle drivers for service on my KTM dirt bike. It's nice to be able to crack a bolt loose then bring it out quick with a few turns of the handle. I feel the T-handle gives more control over the torque put down, with two hands it provides a different feel than one on a...

    A few months ago I picked up some Nepros T handle drivers. The weight and balance is really what sets these apart from other brands I have tried. Bonus feature is that they nest nicely in my Assistent 166N Small magnet holds bolts in place. It is not super powerful but strong enough

    @winnievan you are comparing the compact Nepros head 3/8 to a full size Koken 3/8. That is not a fair comparison. The Nepros full size 3/8 has a balance that is far above the feel of the compact 1/4 size

    The Gadget Guys's Hazet Assistent 166N Germany vs Japan

    That looks to be identical to a assistent. I find it strange it uses the same yellow stripe, casters, knobs and locking system. It also looks like made in Germany is stamped on the lower tub.

    @jmf535 you got the wrong size quick spinner for your Nepros 3/8 ratchet. The one you have is designed to better fit the compact head 3/8.
