I would like to update this thread. This arrived in the mail today. From halfway round the world. Stahlwille takes customer satisfaction very seriously. It took some time for them, but they did it anyway. This level of service makes me a patron for life. The 17mm is the replacement, the 14mm is...

I was looking at purchasing both Stahlwille and Hazet 1/2 and 3/8 fine toothed ratchets. Yes, reading those reviews from actual German buyers turned me away from purchasing. Even on other German speaking forum sites they have some negative information. I've decided to stick with my Kokens and...

The Japanese manufacturers to this day also calls them spinner handles, not breaker bars. KTC has a chapter on this on the proper usage of hand tools

Available on Amazon.jp

If it was near me I'd have jumped on that deal already. Pay him quickly before he changes his mind

Bottle opener is what I've been seeing

Is Grey Pneumatic available to you? They have a set called Duo Sockets. Thin-walled (wall thickness similar to chromes) impact rated sockets. This would be a good solution to the problem of needing two sets chromes or impact sockets.
