    Connector plier recommendation

    I have both the Merry and the KTC pliers and they both work well. I can't understand how someone who has never used a tool can make a statement as to its effectiveness. Those types of opinions are worthless.

    Tools of Japan

    Tools of Japan

    I purchased 4 Koken tools from Frankstools 5 days ago. I got them today. I've never had any problems with Frankstools and I have purchased several thousand dollars worth of tools from him over the years. I wouldn't give KokenUSA the time of day, much less buy something from someone they...
