Have you guys bought or seen anything from MTC, MARUYOSHI MFG? I came across a pair of cutters on Amazon, and when you google MTC Tools Japan, majority of the shopping is on AliExpress with the rest being on eBay. To me it looks like a fake Japanese brand, or possibly one that is copied. Why...

This looks similar to a later designed twingle engine, two pistons on a single rod. Here are some youtube videos on the subject, they are very interesting.

I'm looking for a set of long straight wrenches for doing suspension, rather than using sockets. I actually just checked and I don't need a 21, I need a 22. I would like a 12x14, 14x17, and 19x22. Back to JIS, these slip joint pliers have a JIS logo on them, they are the only pliers I've seen...

Why are some tools marked JIS and others are not? Is it a certification? I'm looking at buying some long wrenches; The KTC wrenches are not JIS, meanwhile Asahi ones are (I think the KTC are very good value and the only 19x21 I could find). KTC -...

DRPD is having a summer sale. 15% off sitewide with SUMMER24. To my knowledge they have the best per socket pricing on Koken https://drpd.cc/

With these it will be as easy as using a piece of tape and a wall. With projectors you want them to aimed perfectly level with the cutoff on the right side, not the step on the left. Drive you car close to the wall, put a piece of tape where the top of the beam is, drive ~20 feet back and level...

The beam pattern looks good on these. Just make sure you aim them level so you aren't blinding people.

My dad got a GearWrench set from Sears at least 10 years ago that were flex head and had a twist in the handle. Way more comfortable for breaking stuff loose deep down in an engine bay. I would recommend a flex head set for your first set.

I'm only seeing 47% off. It says it's using my Zip code for pricing and availability.

Was not expecting to see a photo of the Ryman Theater popping up here in a garage thread. I went to see a concert there on a weekday from Louisville, so I only had time to drive straight there and straight back.

Are they made in Japan or elsewhere? Do they have the set with sockets and extensions?
