What a great wife!

Any of the home centers sell Keiba products. Royal, Kahma, Viva. Not sure which are in Tokyo but I can say that it's NOT necessary to go to a specialist tool store.

Those pliers are very nice Peeb! I wonder when they were produced? The font and image seem to be emulating the look of an older time and more Western in nature. I wonder if they were produced for Shell motor oil company or were just appealing to the Western market? I love those saws...

The box measures around 17" long 9.5" wide and 12" high. I guess it's 20 or 30 years old. The only others I've seen like this ( and they've been discontinued) didn't have the drawer. It came with the KTC hammer, a center punch, a KTC screwdriver, some hex keys and a variety of sockets from KTC...

I won this KTC tool box on Yahoo auctions Japan last night. It comes with some tools but I plan to throw out the plastic inserts and fill it with tools more suited to my needs. I kind of like the slide out tray in the bottom. I'll post some more pics after it arrives. It'll owe me around $40...

Does anyone have any experience with KTC circlip pliers with changeable points? I'm looking at some and would like to hear good or bad feedback.

Interesting to hear that. Please don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure that the products supplied by Fujiya that are forged and assembled in Vietnam are the equal of the products that were once forged and assembled in Japan. It's just that I find it a little disconcerting to see that the package...

Seriously? I live in Japan and frankly speaking (no pun intended) but I've looked at his prices and wondered how he makes a buck. :headscrat I wish I could find vendors to sell me ANY American tools here in Japan for close to the retail price charged in the US.

Great link. Now an hour has passed and I'm still checking out this guys Youtube clips. Interesting stuff. :thumbup:

Badum tish! :)

Speaking of Olfa. This little knife has a spring loaded blade and a magnet on the back. I keep it on the front of my tool cabinet. Recently someone "borrowed" it and I can't believe how many times I needed it, drove me crazy. I bought a couple of 2 packs for about $3 each.

Small world! I bought my TONE from Ehime Machine. I'll take the TONE, it's a full inch shorter and the handle is smaller. I wanted a 3/8 ratchet that was compact in every way.:) Don't get me wrong, I have grown to LOVE my Koken 3/8 wobble head extensions and Koken metric sockets so much that I...

These flyers should get you started. http://www.tonetool.co.jp/products/flyer.html This should take you to the catalogue. http://www.tonetool.co.jp/products/catalog_1411/#page=1

Thanks, I like it too. I live in Japan so I ordered it online here on Tuesday night and it arrived here Thursday afternoon. I did some research to find it after seeing it in a Youtube video. Here's the link to the video. It's all in Japanese but you'll get the drift. I found an online...

For some reason I'm not able to post more than one pic each time.

My new arrival. I think this brand, Tone, offers great value for money. This is a new release from Tone, it's a small head 3/8 ratchet. 72 teeth with an easy detach button. I'll put some pics next to a Snap 3/8 and 1/4 to show how small it is.

3/8 socket for size reference.

$15 wont get ANY Knipex products were I am. I envy the prices and range of choices you have in the U.S
