    It doesn't look to me like the case photos show you the exact set that you are purchasing. Both appear to have more (and different) tools than are included.

    I think the handle design is only used by a few Vessel drivers. They might be discontinuing them, as I didn't see my Ph00 or your TX15 in the short list on Vessel's site.

    I see you have one of Vessel's G-grip handles. I have some G-grip drivers and am not convinced that the weighted, spinning cap is all that useful an innovation. It was interesting to note that the torx driver features a "magic spring". It looks like the same thing that Wiha offers. Maybe Wiha...

    That faucet bit comes in handy when I need to tighten standoffs like these.

    Found out today that my smallest Cobras are great for removing pc board connectors.

    I have bought 20A 250V Parkworld extension cords before from Amazon and was impressed by the quality.

    I might try doing this. I have plenty of magnets, springs and glue. /r/Makita/comments/199t2up/so_i_make_a_adapter_for_jdm_makita_impact_driver

    When I ordered a Ko-Ken 135E-60B from Japan, it looked to me like the blurry picture showed that it was compatible with both 9mm and 13mm drivers, with a little ring on the shaft to keep it from rattling around in Japanese tools. When I received it today I found out this is not the case. Maybe...

    I imagine that this tool might automatically adjust the profile of any screw it encounters. :p

    The domestic USA prices for a Ko-ken driver with 16 bits have fluctuated a lot this year but have been quite reasonable at times.

    I’ve had little success with soft touch pliers. I have IPS, Knipex and Tsunoda. The plastic covers are very durable but quite slick, which is frustrating. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

    My thin TOP and Asahi tools come in handy when I am replacing casters.

    Their blog has been active again recently. Hopefully they will announce any new custom colors on it. https://neprostools.com/blogs/latest-news

    These were also my first Tsunoda purchase, and I was surprised and impressed by the quality. Tsunoda probably provides the biggest bang for your buck these days. I've found Engineer products to be of varying quality. Perhaps they target the consumer "home center" market more than other...

    I've tried a number of different small Japanese screwdrivers over the years, but the ones I use the most are still mainly European. Maybe there are some exceptional ones out there that I don't know about.

    I'm really impressed by the quality of Vessel bits. I've been hammering away at the same set with my Makita pen impact for years and they still work great.
