In NYC I used them often when working on British mixing consoles, Swiss tape recorders and German microphones. Used one last week to open up a Danish isolation transformer.

The Felo is well made and has very low backdrag. It does weigh 823 grams, with the center of gravity being where the handle meets the metal portion, so it's not going to be something I use all the time. The tool's ability to bend the head 45 or 90 degrees will probably make it ideal for certain...

A couple things arrived from Germany today. Knipex 87 00 100 Cobra XS pliers Felo 43899940 Ergonic K bit-ratcheting screwdriver

It looks like they can be purchased separately and attached to KTC snap ring pliers, but they cost almost as much as the complete tool.

Today's Factory Gear video features these recently released KTC relay pliers.

Not impressed by the response from Makita USA. Decided to return the tool to Amazon. They will have another one delivered in two days, and I have a month to take this one back to a local Kohl's. I won't even need to provide a box or label.

I see the 40 volt impact driver in that last picture, as yet unreleased outside of Japan (I think). The person who uploaded the video I embedded earlier has one of those too. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jJw7I8K8QBU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer...

I based my previous post on this YouTube video, which features the same driver I have, but with a different Japanese model number. So it seems that at least some internally identical tools are made in different factories. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Bought a Makita XDT16 impact driver from Amazon this week. Parts of the case are misaligned. I've heard that the tools sold in Japan are manufactured there and not in China like this one, so I might buy from Amazon Japan if/when I need something else.

The PB is new. Bought the Vessel in 2002.

Like Mr Certainly, I'm a Zebralight fan. My EDC is a SC600Fc Mk IV Plus.

I just compared PB and Vessel drivers on the case screws of a vintage Japanese ammeter I got off eBay recently. Three of the screw heads were in very good condition, and both drivers did an excellent job. One screw was slightly stripped, and the PB started to cam out when the screw started to...

I couldn't quickly find a US source but did find a lot of similar items when I searched Amazon for "sealant finishing tool".

It is standard size, and 10mm deep. You can use it as a stubby ratcheting driver in a pinch.

6 points on both ends. EBay seller still has some if anyone's interested. $65.24 including shipping at today's rate of exchange. Facom Tools Sale OGV Drive Angled Socket Wrench Set 9 Piece 8mm - 19mm

Facom wrench set finally arrived. Ordered it from the UK on May 18. Looks like it was stuck in customs for a couple of weeks. Unsurprisingly, no COO on the tools or the packaging. 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18 and 19.

Second time I've heard that cheer this week. :bounce: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_yBjxlTr7jA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Engineer's new magnet design fits on screwdriver shafts between 4 and 6.35mm. I'll probably add a couple to an Amazon Japan order after they are released on June 25th. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QhGDlFd6Q38" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer...

I've got a drawer full of (mostly) Japanese springy pliers. :) A little while ago I bought a couple of 3/8" accessories from Frank's to use with my Koken Zeal 3286Z set. Koken 137 ratcheting ring wrench For 1/4" and 3/8" sockets KTC BRG3 grip type ratchet handle
