    Tools of Japan

    As far as I know these are the sizes that this particular style of wrenches are available in, but I'm not 100% sure. There are others on this thread who have these wrenches as well that may know more information.

    Tools of Japan

    Just some new additions for my home garage. Another smooth transaction with Franktools for the Ko-ken 1/2" attack driver, KTC 10mm x 12mm brake line wrench, and IPS extra long slip joint needle nose pliers. I was also finally able to track down a set of the Kowa Seiki OEM Honda 0 Degree 6pt...

    Wobble Extensions - SK/Snap-On/KTC/Wright?

    +1 for Ko-ken wobble fix extensions, ability to lock the socket without changing extension and knurling at the base where it connects to the ratchet are nice features. I own the 1/4 and 3/8 sets

    Tools of Japan

    One more thought I just had, before you go the freight forwarding route, its best to email the shop directly and see if they will ship directly to you. In my experience most have told me no or just not responded, but Mutsuura for example is a Japanese shop that will ship directly to the states...

    Tools of Japan

    You are correct. These are genuine PB Swiss products, but they are only distributed to Japan. I was also interested in the 8239FLCN set, but when I bought my hammer from Mutsuura they did not carry that part number. If you go to the rakuten global site, not the Japanese site and search for...

    Tools of Japan

    I believe that's correct. I think it had something to do with PB Swiss 45th anniversary selling tools in Japan. Never been there but from all the pictures I've seen of Japanese toolstores on GJ they sell alot of PB in Japan. It was not a bad price either, only 6090 Yen, about $50 USD

    Show us your pb swiss tools!

    My recent PB Swiss pickups. The more PB Swiss I buy, the more I enjoy using them. Picked up both 297/7 and 297/6 non rebound hammers from count on tools at 30% off since it looks like they have discontinued them. The 860H punch set which retails close to $140, I picked up off eBay NOS (I...

    Tools of Japan

    Just received my order from Mutsuura Japan. Took about 6 days. Very impressive shop with great customer service. This new offering from Vessel is quite nice. Tang Thru wood composite handle screwdrivers. They claim to be very grippy even when covered in fluid, but we'll see. Skydrol is my...

    Tools of Japan

    Just thought I'd pass this information along in case anyone is interested, today through June 30 at the Rakuten Ichiba Mutsuura store there is a 1500 Yen off orders over 10000 Yen coupon that can be retrieved from the home page of Rakuten Global Marketplace. I used it today to place an order...

    Tool box layout opinions...

    I did not want to shadow individual sockets either, shadowing the whole box took long enough. I just shadowed the rails with the sockets on them. Since I originally shadowed the drawer I've acquired some Ko-ken SAE 12Pt Semi deep sockets and various other individual ones that I just shadowed...

    Aviation ratchets and fasteners

    Omega Technologies makes very solid and durable tools. I also like the knurling they put on them. All my experiences with there tools including their universal low profile swivel sockets have been very positive. Like any product though that is branded for a specific purpose, that drives cost...

    Aviation ratchets and fasteners

    Correct, that particular ratchet is the version used for in aircraft installation/removal of HI-LOKS. If the HI-LOK pin wants to spin during install or removal of the collar you insert a hex key through the ratchet anvil and into the end of the pin to hold it while continuing to turn the...

    Sae, what's the point?

    I agree, my entire roll away at work is SAE, only metric in it is some hex keys and a set of 5 - 13mm sockets for French, Canadian, or British aircraft manufactures such as Dassault, Bombardier, or Hawker which I've found subcontract out the manufacture of component assemblies and parts to other...

    Hex Key Set - T-Handle / T-Thru-Handle / P-Handle

    www.Tool-net.co.uk is where I purchased them from. Price was 152.62£ shipped to Virginia. I couldn't find all 10 under $300 in US. Thought this was a decent deal very happy

    Hex Key Set - T-Handle / T-Thru-Handle / P-Handle

    I recently just received the Beta 951AS SAE Hex Sliding T-handles that I ordered from the UK because the dollar to pound exchange has been so good. The quality and versatility due to the sliding handle function is second to none. These wrenches will take some serious torque. I saved roughly...

    Show us your pb swiss tools!

    My new PB Swiss additions. Decided to order the hammers from Werk10 in Germany, first time importing tools myself, but it went very smoothly and saved a bunch of money over US distributer prices. Fast shipping and great service. Will certainly be using them again. The rest came from...

    Shadowboarding

    As someone who is OCD about tool accountability tools are expensive and leaving one in a bad place could lead to damage of worse, I still never shadowed my box until recently. The finished product of a shadowed tool box is very nice and I love it but I wouldn't have done it on my own. It was a...

    Shadowed Toolboxes and Tool Control Techniques

    I just spoke with him and he said the company used was www.foamyourbox.com. all he shadowed was hand tools but I thought I was nice that your tools never left your possession. Kind of an added plus in my eyes

    Shadowed Toolboxes and Tool Control Techniques

    I like the kydex sheets idea alot. One of the techs at the shop went with a similar company to toolbed. They actually sent these special sheets of paper that you lay your tools on and run the supplied ultra violet light over the tools and paper and it makes a perfect outline. Then you package...
