    Got me some loppers. Great price on Amazon Japan, but they wouldnt ship them (claimed they would though). Ended up getting on EBay, and arrived over to the east coast in <3 days!

    Login, put stuff in your cart, and then the next day you’ll often get a 15% coupon mailed to you… And then I made a purchase with 15% off, and when that shipped they gave me another 20% off coupon. Ha, the cycle continues…

    Some parts of the world do have different dates interestingly. For instance, in the Buddhist calendar its currently year 2564 I think. Wonder if it was just older or made specifically for Japanese market? It looks pretty legit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ll be in Tokyo for about 9 hours between flights on Monday. Where are some good places to hit up for Koken/PB Swiss/Nepros goodies? Looking for places closer to the train stations if possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That looks pretty good, but the tip with the bit holder is pretty wide. I wish Ko-ken made their version of the 3/8 spinny t-handle in 1/4 size. I’d be all over that like a chicken on a june bug. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I wonder how come Koken doesn’t have a 1/4 version of their 3715SLK Sliding QuickSpinner T-Handle. Why just 3/8? Seems so arbitrary! I want one in 1/4! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That sounds better. How many detents / locking positions are there? With the non-locking ones, I’m always worried with an extension on there it wont stay. It also kills me they don’t have a locking anything in 1/4 or 1/2 - only in 3/8. Otherwise, love Koken’s sockets so far. Deciding if I...

    Hey guys, what's the experience like with any of the Koken non-locking flex ratchets like? I'm trying to get a sense of how floppy they are, or if they have detents in there to lock at pre-defined spots. From pics I've found, I can't really tell -- and I can't find anything on YouTube. I...
