Curiosity got the better of me from watching this vidjayo and I ordered a couple of ratchets from Nepros. What a cool company. I got a very polite and courteous from Noriko Tani confirming the receipt of my order. It also included 'sincere apologies if our delivery takes more time than your expectation' .... due to... 'After the movies produced by famous KZbin released on his channel, we have been receiving a lot of orders beyond our past experiences since last month, and our shipments need some more time than usual now.'

Jezus, The Kyoto Tools Company website is like a 30 minute worm hole. Navigated it with the help of google translate. The lacquer painted ratchets are absolutely gorgeous, and there is a walnut tool chest that I would happily use as coffee table or a night stand, but the $4,000 price tag is pretty staggering. If we ever get out the other side of this virus deal and you get back across the pond the website looks like they offer factory tours, that would be a great video.

Clearly I am a Snatch-On product of many years but Truth told, they HAD a fantastic warranty and the truck turned up at the garage EVERY WEEK to sell us more and HAPPILY replace what we'd managed to break. In fact, the truck salesman also told us the way we could 'break' some tools the 'correct' way so we could more easily get a replacement. Cheers my friend from North Ontario....snow gone now!!
