Done! TONE it is! Just put my order in with my tool truck guy in Tokyo and I'll pick up when I get there. Thank you so much!

Thanks Brother - this IS perfect! Sounds like we have similar inventory. I can grab some Matco used locally or get the Tone when I'm in Tokyo on the cheap. Would you recommend the Tone over the Matco - or - both? Thank You again, Jay

If possible, please start a new post instead of deviating from the OP. Thank You

Great idea! Mountain wrenches are the same length as the Tekton I already have, and looking for something slightly longer with a fixed 12 point box end (offset). Most Mountain sets I’ve seen are double flex offset. Agreed, but they’re also shorter than the Tekton I already have (see post 7...

I think all the wrenches above are made in Taiwan, even the Tone. Snap-On, Mac, etc. may be the only non-Taiwan (Made in USA) versions I could find, but both Snap-On an d Mac were shorter than Tone, GearWrench, and Matco so not on my list. Understood, those aren't critical to me. I have...

Agreed - especially if you're there and not paying the tariff / tax as well. Hard to beat that discount. The reason I didn't include Icon is due to the length, they're shorter than my current Tekton wrenches. If they made an equivalent to the Matco or Tone I would pick them up. ICON...

Absolutely agreed on Tone, I'm in a slightly different position in that I travel to Japan routinely so I'm willing to take the risk on the breakage / warranty (if you can call it that). No argument or disagreement that these are relatively frequent warranty items, if there was an equivalent...

I think I've found the end of the internet, but want to verify and get the insight and advice of those who have experience. ). I'm leaning toward the Tone, but even with filling in gaps there's quite a few missing. Not a total deal breaker, but not ideal either. Open to any other ideas or brands...

Agreed, sounds like I'm all set. Worst case, I'll weld a little extension on and really get it out. Room isn't an issue from what I saw in the tech manual.

Perfect, I suspect its at 36 ft-lbs just like the factory set it at

That is my concern. The vehicle is almost 20 years old and I don't think its had the transmission fluid changed, and spent time in the midwest before relocating to sunny California. If I can't get the plug out with a breaker bar then I'll shift to an impact. I don't want to round the...

Thank You! Appreciate the great help as always.

The drain plug on a 2008 Honda Odyssey transmission is 3/8 square and the owner has (to his knowledge) never changed the fluid. Ouch. He'll be bringing it by next week to do that, and a litany of other deferred or neglected maintenance. I suspect even with tapping on the plug that I may need to...

They look very nice, but I think the thickness might / may be an issue with where I'm using them with space being at a premium. I would probably move up and/or pay the premium for the higher end option to benefit from the reduction in volume. My use case and not a judgment on the good folks at...

Yep agreed on KTC Nepros standard ratchets (handles) - I think I’m down to Ko-Ken Z-Series, Snap-On Series 80, Olsa flex-heads and KTC (regular not Nepros) roto (swivel)-heads. About to add regular (non-flex) Snap-On 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 Extra-Long ratchets to round out the box via the used market...

I have a full set of Wright Grip 2.0 wrenches and couldn’t agree more!

Not sure about wrenches / crowfeet, but I picked up a couple of their ratchets and gave them away. MIT stuff, and wasn't a great introduction. I wasn't blown away even after cleaning, re-lubing and breaking them in. I know lots of folks are happy, and doing great stuff, safely more and better...

From Japan retailers I can pick one up locally in Tokyo for about $123 so roughly $17.60 a wrench or slightly less if I want to travel to a duty free location. That makes KTC Nepros one of the least expensive "premium" options. But.....I just don't know how they compare to Snap-On, which seems...

Nope, mechanic work is a side gig and a hobby outside my day job. Maybe post-retirement I can do this full time, but the regular job pays the bills today. I don't mind buying once to get it right, especially with the used market being available given I'm patient.

Tsuonda and Engineer (Vamplier) should be easy to order, either from US re-sellers, Amazon, J(Japan)-Amazon or direct. Uber high quality stuff. I've been extremely impressed with Tsunoda and Engineer. Some of the IPS can be hit or miss, but those two plier companies are typically hit only...
