Not sure what you mean. There is kctoolco which is a distributor of German made tools and then ktc from Japan which is good stuff. I never heard of any other kc tools do you have any links?

Yeah, this seems to be made in Australia.

KC Tools looks like just another re-brander / purchases from multiple different Taiwanese manufacturers that would put their name/logo on the tools.
That set you pictured seems rather hastily put together. Only one extension per drive size!? No impact grade extensions?
To me, there's too many sockets; not enough accessories.

Most brands in oz seem to have the same or similar manufactures I do not know much about oz but if you live in oz you can send me any extra 4bd1t's you have.

I agree, not the most thought through set. I love the hdfi insert though.. fits my lista drawers perfectly.

Looks great, but very impractical when it comes time to add tools to the set.
I hate Torx/E-torx/In-hex sets that puts rather useless sizes, wasting space. ie. using 1/2" drive all the way down to T-10 or down to 2mm in-hex sockets.
At least someone had the foresight to use 1/4" drive for the smaller E-torx sockets!!

2mm hex in 1/2 drive? Wow!

I assume that ThomasNorway is located in Norway. Is this correct?
Perhaps some fans of European tools could chime in with some good alternatives. In the US there's no shortage or rebranded Asian tools but I personally can't make any recommendations to a buyer in Europe although plenty of other board members can.

Yep , Australia is not great for tools anymore as a general rule.I have a few KC tools ( 3/8"drive socket set + spanners, 1/4" drive socket set sitting still unopened, some other stuff somewhere ) , almost all bought "on sale" online at a price I couldn't walk past . They seem good ( not SO or Stahlwille etc standard but WAY better than most mainland chinese tools I've used) , mine are made in Taiwan . My local hardware store also stocks them , had to buy a 5mm Hex (IIRC) impact socket to remove some rusted out decking screws with my impact driver. Abused the hell out of it and it performed great. Only used the other tools lightly so far, happy to provide whatever other info/photos you need. I like them ( not a pro )

Thanks for your answer! I kinda went a different route, the one i already had started on. I will buy whatever seems the most reasonable considering what i need, the price and the quality. Meaning i wont stick to one Brand only. I purchased the gearwrench 1/4 and 3/8 ratchet sets with all the sockets, an SK 1/2 ratchet to use with my sunex 1/2 master impact socket set and a gearwrench bit socket set with some 80+ pieces. 12 pieces metric Sk X Frames, SK 15 pieces superkrome metric wrenches, 3 pcs wilde pry bar set. Stahlwille torx screwdrivers set, pb swiss phillips and flat screwdrivers and some Vessel Woody drivers. All this and more will go in my new lista box, and i will try to organize it all by cutting my own foam inserts.

Sounds better than your original plan.
