[Talking about the Eight hex keys.] This is very encouraging to hear from someone using them professionally. This is a great review, thanks! I like what I have read from and variously about Eight hex keys. This helps. I'm pleased with my Eight and Wise hex key sets.

@superautobacs, good to see you back here!

The socket set I had was imported, I believe, but I can't remember from where. The little combo pliers at work were Japanese-made. See https://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2017/05/vanished-tool-brands-powermaster-japan.html

Looks like an old Oxwall set I once had.

I used my Eight set tearing into an old planer a few days ago. I was pleased working with them. Several screws had rather shallow broaching which they handled well. The ad verbiage for my sae Eight and color-coded metric Wise sets say the technology/engineering on the ball ends makes them good...

Please do give us your reviews. I have the sae Eight set through 3/8". I used it quite a bit in the garage a few days ago tearing into an older planer. I was very pleased.

(y) I bought these for the toolboxes I built for my three grandkids. Since the oldest two are just now 4 years old, for their safety I ground off the flat blades on each of the handles.

Thanks, that makes sense. I don't believe I've ever been dissatisfied with anything Tsunoda.

Got the rest of my sharpening stuff, and a bit more, in today. The Atlin guide is Taiwanese but several reputable folk use it after judicious filing mods. Interestingly, the instructions expressly say not to file these. I chucked my 1-7/8" chisel in and yup it need the mods. My BeaverCraft...

Iman Nagura 6000, King 220, and King 1000/6000. Flattening the back of my 1" chisel, I'm a little surprised at how slow the 220 cuts.

Until a few years ago, I was in the Bondhus and Eklind hex key camp. I often used their hex key products, moreso Bondhus, in the print shop pre-press area. I sometimes was nearly shoulder deep in chemicals with a Bondhus acetate handle hex driver. They never gave me a lick of problems. We had...

Make sure your neighbors are outside then push one of these over to your truck in the driveway. Remove and clean your valve caps. Say "Ahhhhh!" loudly. Wheel it back. Beer time!

Many yootoobs on this, but how are GJ-ers storing your whetstones and Japanese water stones? I'm particularly curious about whetstones being wet with oil. Water stones can dry. How do y'all store them?

Got these yesterday xmas The Kakuri rough cut blade will fit into the single-hand synthetic handle of my Kakuri pruning saw. The rough cut and pruning blades will fit in the wood handle as well, but the 8.2" ryoba blade in the single-hand handle would be nonsensical. Also, a Suizan flush cut...

I got a second black USGen minibox to go in the bottom of my HF single drawer cart. I keep my delicate and small tools in them.

Found I use my putty scrapers more often than I thought, so I added them to my cart w/magnets and bits of leather.

I had forgotten about Engineer, thanks. To be honest, I am looking for the most metal in the head, which the Tsunoda CPs and Engineers have. I've got some smaller Tsunoda 'side cutter' pliers and their cutters have held up well. I don't particularly need the crimping function, I have some T&B...

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Very helpful. I'll go with the CP pliers. Price is good, as with all Tsunoda products. I have a few already. I agree that the PW-DP200TG looks good for resi wiring, but I don't do that much of that at all.

Looking for Japanese lineman pliers to augment my Klein J2000-9NEs. I use the **** out of my Kleins (they are a hammer when I'm up on a ladder). My choices are: Victor SKN175D or Marvel MDH-P200 as the top regarded brands from what I read, or... Tsunoda PP-225A or PW115; Fujiya 3000N-225BG; or...

With long tools, I like a little feedback. The HLB-300s are flexible enough to let me know I've latched onto something when I do. I waited and waited for the price to get reasonable, it jumped a lot. Hope you got a good deal!
