    Tools of Japan

    I'm happy with anything that displaces a vape store. I'm in a Daiso dead zone, with only a Chinese knockoff, Miniso, even remotely close. Not going to go out of my way to get chair socks with the wrong COO.

    Tools of Japan

    I have to put some cable glands through the back panels of some equipment and don't own anything that really fits.

    Tools of Japan

    One of my first Japanese tool purchases was some Engineer PH-55 scissors. They were fun, but my fingers never fit well into the handles. The PH-57 look more practical. I eventually ended up with SK-11 for tough stuff and Kai for everything else.

    Move over Harbor Freight Vevor opens first physical store

    I bought a Vevor fume extractor a couple of years ago and it has been a solid performer. I then got a "5000 watt" 240/120VAC transformer and for the price I am satisfied. The toroidal transformer inside is hefty but the internal wiring and outlets are all thin and cheap and I wouldn't want to...
