    Tools of Japan

    Kakuri Saw While doing some ametuer woodworking roject at home, i needed to trim the length of a block of pine wood and was impressed by how thin a slice the Kakuri saw was able to take off... For over more than a year, I have used this poor saw to cut off some fibre glass boards as well as...

    My newest Metabo addition. I love the build quality, the electric cable, the dust filter, low vibration during usage.. well, pretty much everything about it and i got it for a great price too !

    This one has been absolutely reliable wrt the blade lock aspect even during heavy handed usage (wood shavings for starting a camp fire, sawing through rubber hydraulic hoses etc).

    Tools of Japan

    A quick review of my Anex 3775 driver which i bought over 2 years ago from Amzn.jp I use mine for automotive and household work and enjoy using it. The shaft to handle tolerance is excellent and there is no free play while using it. I often wondered how the inside of the plastic handle was made...

    Are these for wood only or for metal application too ? I'm asking since i bought a similar set (i think i posted here) and found that the bits did not perform well (they dulled easily) when used on mild steel.

    I have to say that i've only had good experience with Amzn.jp packaging. Its quite efficient (no excessive packaging stuff) and effective . One time they neatly laid out all the tools on a cardboard sheet, cling wrapped the whole thing and put it in a heavy duty brown paper bag !! it arrived...
