The label said 2.0kg (4.4lb). Yes DHL does charge brokerage. Of the $45.24 tariff invoice, $17.50 was DHL brokerage. This invoice from them was not egregious enough for me to audit (and dispute if necessary). The brokerage departments at these shipping companies have a habit of pulling HS...

I thought you guys would find this interesting, regarding importing this stuff from Japan. I purged 17 items to have sent to me. Here is the breakdown of this shipment. $189.29 in AmazonJP items $73.38 in Blackship costs AND DHL fast shipping $45.24 in Tariffs Total $307.91 This means that in...

The first I saw them was in here posted by Steel_Rain I am pretty sure. It looked perfect. When I found the LMR1A, the mirror finish on them just didnt have the same appeal to me. But they were much cheaper. I eventually found that if you remove the - from the part number when searching, you can...

I am going to have to bookmark the IPS page to watch for these custom specials they do. These are sold out now, but a cool example.

I might order this special at IPS: https://ips--tool-co-jp.translate.goog/shop/archives/3113?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US They have a "white day" special running the 13th through the 29th. 5000 yen ($31) and you get a combo plier, a water pump plier, and a mystery plier. It says they...

OK I will order it lmao. My only hangup was that its coming from a different warehouse than other stuff in cart, so there's another few bucks in receiving at Blackship :D But since its only $22 anyway, I wont let it get in the way. How is it anyway? I was considering also getting the BR2FS-H.

Wera micro torx and hex drivers from Zoro. The Wera hex keys I’m sorta cheating because they actually came in a couple weeks back in a KC Tools order, but I am just now putting them at a workbench. Before I ordered the Wera micro drivers, I was digging around the Bondhus website because I really...

Im going to talk too much because I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs supervising a machine for the next 90 min. It has been a while since I did a shipment from Japan. Through 2024 & 2025 I got the stuff that I just had to have. I had a huge "saved for later" remaining, but nothing that...

I can't speak for anyone elses reasons, but I own a small US based manufacturing company and several of my products have been copy-cat by competitors who have them made overseas. I will almost always buy the "real deal" unless its priced at "f*** you" pricing. Which Snap-On is, lmao, so there is...

I have 3 Wiha pliers and all 3 of them I would rather have my money back. That said, I have seen plenty of people that love them.

If you don't have aggressive toe, camber does not quickly wear down the tires. Besides, you can do camber with a level, you don't really need special tools to do camber.

The savings in Amazon JP really require a significant build-up to pay off. If you only get 1 or 2 items, the shipping and tariffs will eat up your savings, and you went through the extra steps for no reason. However, I currently have 28 items from AmazonJP in my blackship japan mailbox. Some of...

So far just a bunch of knickknacks and plastic junk for testing and learning the software. The big thing that was printing in the pics I posted was a spool holder for above the machine. The softer filament like TPU wont feed through the normal system. I found that it prints fine if I feed it...

11 years ago I bought a 3D printer and sold it a week later. It just wasn’t there yet, especially for someone who has a CNC (so I already had an outlet for creating). A few months ago I started paying attention to see how far along the printers and software have come, and it is definitely...

Yup I remember stumbling on it before. Came right up with this from a google on ”heyco retro”. It dosnt make me want them any less though, I think it’s cool.

They are pretty. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m tasting one. Does it say “made in Slovakia“ on the box? The package and the shafts have me assuming these are made by Oplast alongside Hazet and Gedore

I did notice the LMR1 are polished. Its hard to imagine that is the only difference when looking at the price. The LMR1 are not even on KTC’s website.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B00762HBOI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&th=1 here is the page I just found. Went ahead and got the 17x19 on the way to my blackship. I’m probably most excited about this item now over all the rest of it accumulating there.

I am really liking these. Do you think they are Kabo? I saw KTC uses Kabo for some real long non-flex box ends. I wonder why the LMR1 is half the cost of these MR1A. I really want that 17x19. I feel like it would be the perfect wrench for holding the bolt while I torque the nut on my control...

it matches the Workpro in every way other than color and saying Workpro on it, which probably tells us where it comes from
