    I've tried a number of different small Japanese screwdrivers over the years, but the ones I use the most are still mainly European. Maybe there are some exceptional ones out there that I don't know about.

    I'm really impressed by the quality of Vessel bits. I've been hammering away at the same set with my Makita pen impact for years and they still work great.

    I've bought many Japanese scissors over the years and the ones that have ended up staying on my bench are 170mm Kais. I've found Inexpensive SK-11s to be great for heavy duty tasks, and for comfort and precision nothing else I've found equal the Kai 7000 series.

    The torque screwdriver goes down to 2.66 ft/lbs, It's nothing special; I don't use this tool enough to own a good one (yet?).

    Just learned today that Toribe makes a "Nepros version" of their excellent kitchen shears, which I've enjoyed for years.

    Tools of Japan

    A few years ago I bought a Kyocera ceramic kitchen knife, and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools. It has a different blade angle than steel knives, so I bought the home sharpener. The AA alkaline batteries the unit was designed for couldn't provide enough current to keep the wheel from...

    A few years ago, after buying and really liking a TOP adjustable wrench, I purchased a set of ratcheting ones from Amazon Japan. They're nice, but almost certainly Taiwanese and nothing special.
