More exotic Japanese hand tools

Nepros wood, brass and leather hand tools.

[@nicolashoyt5341]

TIME!

[@AdamWilberLikesBeer]

Quality packaging deserves quality unboxing.

[@stevenbrazel5262]

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.'

I actually inherited a ton of old school Snap On tools, Canadian and USA. Also inherited a Snap On tool chest that's about as old. All my Grandfather's from when he was a Buick technician and when he started working from home. Also a some Proto and other high end stuff. Still works amazing, they just don't make tools the same anymore. Glad to be a third generation mechanic and still using the same tools 3 generations later.

[@Demonslayer20111]

Just low stock. I just ordered from them and got an email from an actual person apologizing for any delays, and that confirmed that this video and the previous have led to a gigantic spike in orders. They are upping production in response though so dont fret just yet

[@vattican]

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.

[@dh66]

I'll have to check that out. I'd like to build a walnut and brass tool chest but I'll have to wait until I retire. Sure won't cost me $4K though.

[@DrewMarold]

Those lacquer ratchets are amazing but at just shy of $2100 American doll-hairs I'd be reluctant to actually use it for fear of dropping it on the concrete floor.

[@tonik.5767]

I lost an hour of my life trying to learn to read Japanese on the KTC site as well... But if anyone is really interested in buying Nepros tools they actually have no-nonsense site in English, with US dollar prices (they're on the steeper side, certainly, but nothing really outregous) and very reasonable shipping costs.

Hows the quality? I bought some starett rulers and squares but the finish levels just seems poor for something made in the US of A, sadly. Both the ruler and the squares have such sharp edges that I can barely use them without gloves. The country of origin is "subject to change" so maybe that's the reason.
