Cheers, CP!

I am loving Japanese tools lately. A lot of the times they are even higher quality than Snap-On. It just depends on what it is. Cool tins.

[@paedahe4975]

I wonder if those dressing tools could add knurling to metal on a lathe?

[@Questchaun]

Snap ons pretty low quality.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

@@paedahe4975 creating knurling ... interesting thought!

Great haul! I’ve never ordered from Ninja Tools before.

[@78557les]

Hello Chirs, I'll be ordering from Ninja Tools this week. Sometimes I try to order from company's you talk about in Japan but never can figure it out. Thank You So Much for showing me all great tools. My favorite is the Shinkansen train video.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

Looking forward to the day I can ride the Shinkansen again!

Hi Chris 🙂 Thanks for all the great videos! If you are interested I have a request 👍 How about giving your ratings on where each brand of Japanese tools might compare to an American or maybe German manufacturer so we can get a feel for quality. Your personal insights are awesome because professionals battle test the gear! Keep up the great work

Chris long time no see brother. Good to see a new video from you.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

Likewise, good to hear from you!

[@BrenticusMaximus1]

Ninja 🥷 Tools is AWESOME! I recently placed an order with them for Koken nut grip 14-24 and the seller was very helpful 🙂👍 Great video as alway!! Thank you 😊

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

Sweet, good to hear that. I recall reading about other's experiences with Ninja Tools over the years, and yours compliments that 👍

[@Frontseat_Driving]

Agreed, easy to work with, and shipped instantly.

[@DDB168]

I love the trusco boxes. I have a few T-190's (I think thats what they are).

[@egx161]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@Frontseat_Driving]

I received a little gift from Ninja Tools as well! At first I thought maybe I had made a mistake while ordering...

[@runamopimopi9722]

I use the dresser mini for the bit of the leutor, it's good👍 There is a distribution center in Trusco near the site and I often wave my hand. But no one sees 😂

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

🤣 too bad no one sees you waving. Good to know you like the mini dresser 👍

[@bmxkelowna]

Kelowna BC here! Huge Japanese tool fan as well

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

😎 that makes you the second viewer from the Okanagen!

[@bmxkelowna]

That KZbin algorithm doing it's thing I guess! Haha. I'm looking for any of the special edition anniversary nepros ratchets with the removable handles (wood, leather, anodized aluminum) as my older brother is an artist/gemologist/jeweler and I would love to have him make me a custom handle. If you ever come across one for a good deal let me know! I have a wtb post on garage journal as well!

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

@@bmxkelowna I'll keep you mind!

[@michaeljuan98]

Have you ever ordered from misumi. I order metric carbide endmills from them and whenever I order something I tack on a hand tool.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

I know them only by name, through internet searching. Transaction/email communications are all in English?

[@michaeljuan98]

@@chriscas-ToolAficionado Yeah, they have a US location and their support is in english. Most of the time it's shipped from the US but sometimes they ship directly from Japan.

[@bcwrangler]

My two Amazon Japan orders came DHL. Japan > LA > Cincinnati > Vancouver then delivered three days later to the Okanagan...nine days in total. Maybe Ebay gets a shorter route 😅

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

😆 i had one similar experienc..I think it was FedEx. I think they may all suffer from inexplicable detours.

[@davidgriffin14]

Are those for a grinding wheel or a buffing wheel?

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

For grinding wheels
