No, these are the 2400MZ/8 set. I do have the set you mention and that one is 3/8 drive whereas the 2400MZ/8 set is 1/4 inch drive. I'll try to post one more pic for reference.

That last picture on Keiba, professional level nail clippers. Beautifully made! However, at around $300 each and ten being made each day by the craftsman at Keiba it'll be the market that decides if these continue. Japan has reached a crossroad with its skilled trades people. A lot of these...

Yes, pretty sure they are identical to those. Superautobacs, those Nepros T handles are beautiful!

Another pic.

A few things I bought today. 1/2 to 3/8 Tone socket adapter, Keiba "nippers" and Fujiya needle nose pliers. I usually suspect that tools that have "Japan" on them rather than "Made in Japan" may be made outside of Japan but these Keiba have made in Sanjou Japan written on the box.

Couldn't help myself when I saw this 1/4 set of metric shallow sockets. 14mm (3/8 drive)Snap On for size comparison.

Thanks for the links. Sorry I don't have any pics and the pliers are in my storage back in Australia. I can say that I'm pretty sure the inner pliers have blue rubber handles and the part number was 57001-143, cost about $35. The outer have red handles like yours and probably the same price...

I bought some inner and outer snap ring pliers from Kawasaki around 10 years ago using their part numbers. What I received was an item identical to yours except instead of "Honda" it had the Kawasaki part number stamped into the side of each tool in the same place. So they're made by Kowa?

Thanks, I like them and the Koken stuff a lot. Nice videos you put up, liked and subbed. :thumbup: Cheers

My new arrival, a Tone RH4CH ratchet. 1/2 drive in a 3/8 body.

I feel for you but I've always found that someone who won't take my money is very easily replaced, especially in these days of them there interwebs.

I can see a day when the customer will be offered the "premium upgrade stamped" option...at a little extra cost.

Here's a close up pic of my Fujiya Circlip pliers. A member asked me a few questions I answered but a pic is worth a thousand words.

The Tone RH4CH is pretty much as you describe. I'm going to order one shortly.

Mine cost me a little under $30 equivalent.

I like the Tone stubby. Japanese company but made in Taiwan. If you Google RH3CHS you'll find the 3/8 drive 72 tooth stubby in a 1/4 drive body. The regular length is the RH3CH. I think the code is RH= ratchet head, 3= 3/8, CH= compact head and the S= stubby.

I bought this set of flex head ratchets today. They're from a Japanese company in Niigata called TOP tools. I doubt they're actually made in Japan but they feel smoother in operation than any of the other brands I've checked out. I wonder if someone could confirm where these are made, could...

I always find myself grabbing one of my Koken instead of my Snap On. I didn't buy a set of Kokens but started wth one short...then bought a little longer one....then another. I wish I'd bought the Koken set to begin with. But you're right, if money is a consideration then you could get by with...

The more I scrolled, the more I liked. Very envious!

Very nice! PS: It's nice to see the finished product of the accumulation of members ideas!
