Hello, are you referring to the wood saws? They are neat indeed, I have a few myself.

What about Japanese screwdrivers? I might be interested in American/European Phillips and Japanese Phillips standard screwdrivers.

Very nice looking tools Frank!
15-20 years ago Koken became known here in the U.S. for their 4 pc. Stud extractor/installer sets and for some smattering of factory motorcycle special tools. The stud extractor and an occasional impact driver was about all that we could get back then.
I'm glad to see they have a presence here now, again.
I wish you well with your business and hope to see more of the excellent Koken line.

Has anyone owned both KTC and Koken? Which is better in terms of strength, durability, fit and finish?

Yes, I have both. Koken is my choice for finish and price. Quality is about the same..

Okay I guess I'm missing something here, where is your website Frank?

Nice work Monte!

Frank: It would be great if you could update your website with a greater inventory complete with pricing. Having the "contact me" barrier is a bit much for some people.

In for a very interesting thread. For $20 I just might have to pick up one of them Koken 1/4" dr. ratchets in the near future.

Monte, nice buy. I bought my first Koken in Germany in mid 90's from a SO dealer

Frank you probably missed my message above. Are you planning on updating your website with the full Koken line and associated prices? Would make purchasing easier.
