I have a set of AF AIGO box end spanners I've used since the 70s, and they're good for another 50 years. My adjustable spanners are Japanese 'TOP' brand, and they're great too. I still believe they have less slop in them than the genuine 'Crescent' USA made spanners of the same era.

Have you found a KTC Nepros Finger Spinner that allows you to use 1/4 sockets on a 3/8 ratchet? Tried really hard on Amazon Japan but not able to find a product code for this (if it exists). PS Great Vids - I subscribed. (even though it looks like you may now be inactive in posting new vids)

This was some time ago, but is the backdrag of Nepros comparable to Koken? How are they each holding up after some years..?
@BrandoDamo2 ай бұрын
Koken‘s back drag is the lowest I’ve come across on any ratchet brand. All my Koken and Nepros items have been holding up great. The ratchets I reach for and use the most though are my long pattern, fixed head Nepros 1/4”, 3/8”, & 1/2” drive. They are a pleasure to use and are holding up great with daily use.

Unfortunately i didn't have a good experience with nepros. My 1/4 stubby fell into solvent. I contacted nepros on proper relubrication but they were not able to suggest anything. Tried all kind of different lubes, including snapon superlube and nothing works, the mechanism keeps binding. Eventually i am using thin mineral oil, it works but i am not satisfied. Also it doesn't locks on all my sockets while my snapon has no problem doing that. Won't buy again

I agree, I prefer a complete set just for peace of mind, but the Japanese industrial Standard uses only certain sizes, so if you’re in Japan and working on Japanese stuff, you would never need the skipped sizes. That probably applies to the vast majority of their customers.

@@7Lucky7Man7 Good question, but I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I meant the brand "NT Cutter" is a quality brand, not like other cheap brands you may see on Amazon. I doubt you'll find fake versions of their cutters labeled "NT Cutter" because they are a niche brand, not too expensive, and not widely known outside of their niche. But I'd still be careful with whom you buy from ( by store reputation). I have both Olfa and NT cutter snap blade cutters and they are all very good.

@@7Lucky7Man7 BTW, I do not own that NT cutter A-300grp, but I do have the similar sized all metal (but slimmer with no grip) AD-2P (also has a steeper angle blade) and it is very good. I also own an Olfa more similar to the NT cutter model you mentioned and it is also very good. You can't go wrong with the snap blade cutters by both of these brands. I'd avoid the all-plastic versions though, if possible.
