Howdy from DRPD!

[Zjenji]

Quick update on my first purchase from DRPD. I had the order in hand 2 days after placing it. Packaging was A+ and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for the free stickers too!!! Looking forward to my next order.

Now, about that wish list request.

 

[billspreston]

@billspreston Is it feasible to add a wish list feature to your DRPD account? I tend to buy what I need when I need it and save the fun stuff for the sales.

We have tried to implement a wish list, but unfortunately our shop software does not properly save product variants – an example of this is something like a Ko-ken 3400MZ sockets that is offered in multiple different sizes. The software will save the 3400MZ product to the wish list, but it does not save the selected size variant. This saving issue is a known bug, but I'm not sure when it will be resolved. This is a high priority for us, but we are at the mercy of waiting for a fix to come from our shop software (which we really like, otherwise).

Just saw this on Tools of Japan thread. Perhaps one day you will carry Vessel screwdrivers too. I imagine a number of us would rather purchase them through you than from Amazon Japan or a more expensive domestic vendor.

We have considered Vessel in the past, but things didn't pencil out. It's something we may revisit again in the future as we continue to grow, but not likely anytime soon.

Thanks for the update! As far as future products, I would prefer Merry, 3Peaks, Keiba, Matel, etc. These would offer a nice compliment to the Knipex and PB that you already carry.

Hey y'all, hope everyone is having a nice summer

Labor Day Sale kicked off today with 15% sitewide using coupon LABOR22. Enjoy the deals!

 

[Brian Puccio]

Fine. I’ll finally place the Ko-Ken nut gripper socket order I’ve been window shopping for forever.

 

[tronstein]

Think you'll do an embroidered version of the PB Swiss hats?

Thanks. I put in my first order for some PB Swiss screwdrivers. Quick delivery and good packaging as others noted. Without a doubt I will be ordering more tools from my wish list in the near future.

Possibly in the future with a different style of hat, but nothing planned as of now.

Glad to hear it!

Gonna grab some 72T 3/8 in 1/4 body ratchets when they come available.

I work on vans… sometimes I need more clearance!!

New member here and new to PB Swiss tools. I've placed 2 orders with DRPD now and love the PB Swiss tools! I'll be placing my 3rd order when the VDE interchangeable blades are back in stock. Great service from DRPD

Welcome to garage journal.

GJ crew – we kicked off our big Year-End Sale today – 21% off storewide with coupon code TOOLS21 (pre-orders excluded). Sale ends Nov 24 at Midnight PST.

Will you be having a 22% off coupon code this November of 2022 ?

 

[billspreston]

Yes, we will be running a sale from November 25–28. 15% off sitewide and 22% off $300+ with coupon code TOOLS22.

Wishing you all a nice upcoming Thanksgiving with friends & family!

 

[slayerment]

Do you have more PB Swiss stuff coming in stock anytime soon like interchangeable VDE screwdrivers?

 

[billspreston]

We do have a large shipment scheduled for late November / early December that should (hopefully) include a refresh of the Interchangeable VDE sets and individual items.

It's currently unclear whether said shipment will arrive in-time for the sale or not, here's to hoping the shipping lanes cooperate.

Just want to give Mike and DRPD a major shout out:

KTC BRSW3L Ratchet - Help

Just want to echo my support for DRPD. A lot of us have been ordering from Amazon Japan lately due to the low exchange rates and while there may be some savings vs DRPD on items from Amazon Japan the packaging care and support from DRPD will be far superior. Amazon Japan tends to have skimpy packaging and you are pretty much accepting full self warranty. Also changing your mind (for those indecisive members) or dealing with shipping damage is far harder with Amazon Japan so buyer beware.

 

[billspreston]

Glad that worked out @Madjik Man! Thanks @Odd-job.

Alright fellas – let's kick off the Year-End Sale a little early with some special early access for the GJ crew.

15% off sitewide and 22% off $300+ with coupon code GJTOOLS22 – starting now, running through Nov 28 @ 11:59 PST.

Enjoy and thanks for your support!

 

[Outahere]

Got my first order done! One each of Koken, Nepros, and PB Swiss.

 

[billspreston]

Do you have more PB Swiss stuff coming in stock anytime soon like interchangeable VDE screwdrivers?

Good news is I've confirmed the following interchangeable VDE items are currently en-route to us:

• PB 5215.C SL 3.5x0.6
• PB 5215.C SL 4.0x0.8
• PB 5215.C SL 5.5x1.0
• PB 5215.PH SL 2
• PB 5216.SU
• PB 5218.SU

Bad news is the ETA to the warehouse is currently 12/5 so definitely not going to arrive in time for the sale.

Awesome! No worries, will still pick them up

 

[Pexto]

Thanks for the head start! Order placed - I think its my 4th one with you. Definitely appreciate the fine tools and great service!

A brief anecdote: the last time a box from DRPD showed up at the house:
Wife calls from the other room "What did you get?"
Me: "Oh, a bunch of tools."
Wife: "Don't you already have a bunch of tools?"
Me: " ..........................", trying to think of a smart response but coming up blank.

She's always way ahead of me!

 

[flippin]

Got my first and not likely last PB Swiss fix yesterday. Thanks Bill, took advantage of the 22% off $300.

 

[Madjik Man]

Placed my order last night. Can’t wait.

That's when you say, "why don't we go to the mall, and you pick up a new pair of shoes."

 

[mike strobe]

Hey Mike, thanks for the GJ early start! Order placed, always a great job

 

[demarpaint]

I placed my first order with them yesterday.

 

[gjusername]

looks like you posted 2 codes here. tools22, and gjtools22. I'm guessing the latter was created to try and track the amount of sales brought in from this site? I used the first one when I ordered yesterday but I only know of you because of this site, specifically the tools of japan thread discussing ko-ken, just fyi... I wish I had remembered, I was going to include a note asking you to throw in some ko-ken stickers if possible. I completely forgot about that.

Looks like my package was picked up by ups later the same day and is already in transit, wow that's fast! Thanks for being so quick with it.

 

[Outahere]

Every order receives a free DRPD sticker. Orders $20+ receive a sticker for each keystone brand purchased. *Subject to supply

Hi, thanks for pointing that out. We mostly offered the GJ specific code in hopes that users here could get their hands on things early as we tend to often sell out during our sales.

And as @Outahere kindly pointed out, we do include stickers with every order so you should have at least one Ko-ken sticker on the way

 

[ronkz650]

I placed 2 orders for around $102 each. I'm so glad to learn of this seller on this group.

 

[Madjik Man]

After seeing the Kokenusa 35% discount code I realized I could have saved $25 on my order just placed.

But I don’t care. You guys took care of me with my KTC ratchet (that I didn’t order through you) that I’m happy to give you my business.

 

[gjusername]

lol, I feel pretty stupid even talking about stickers like this haha. I normally wouldn't care about stickers at all. But people here have made me want some from koken. glad you include them.

can't be more happy about the shipping speed. I ordered from kokenusa within an hour of ordering from drpd, and the way it's looking I won't be surprised if I receive my items from DRPD before the kokenusa shipment even leaves the warehouse.

that's probably not the case. if you look at their non-discounted prices, kokenusa is at least 10-20% more expensive than other koken retailers. Pretty sure that their prices at 25% off are still more than DRP at 15% off. But it's a good opportunity to buy things that DRPD doesn't stock, without having to pay a bunch extra.

I only ordered 1 Koken item from DRPD, a nut grip socket set, and it was $10 cheaper (with the 15% discount) than buying from KokenUSA (with the 25% discount).

 

[Fedwrench]

Thanks for offering the Black Friday discount. I wished the short KTC roto ratchet was in stock. Happy Holidays!!!!!

35% code? i hadn't seen that...pls share.

 

[Madjik Man]

35% code? i hadn't seen that...pls share.

It’s in the Tools of Japan thread. The misspelled “BLAKSFRIDAY” code or something like that.

Don’t think it’s still active though.

 

[CHI_Tool&Die]

DRPD has some pretty cool stuff! I made my first purchase from there last night. 22% off was too hard to pass up!
