VINTAGE JAPANESE TOOLS 🇯🇵 My Aigo “Collection”

[@yesreally623]

Love seeing someone else share their explorations into Japanese tools. I've been blundering my way around with translations, discovering KTC, Ko-ken, Nepros, Tone, Asahi, Fujiya, Anex, Lobtex, Olfa, Niigata Seki, Engineer, Vessel, TTC, IPS, etc -- so much I don't know! I'm like a kid in a candy store. It's like back when I'd found out about German tools so, so many years ago. Love it. +

[@BrandoDamo]

Thanks! It sounds like you have a good handle on all the Japanese manufacturers. They all make great stuff!

[@1indonesia949]

Why about tenka japan ? Good or no?

[@justinvanaulen2478]

My Dad had an random Aigo adjustable that I still have to this day. I was always impressed with it. I really enjoy your video's, hoping you post something new very soon! You have me sold on Nepros over TONE recently, despite owning TONE for 5+ years.

[@Mushroomhaus0001]

Do you have plans to make more videos? I love your reviews, my favorite tool KZbinr of many that I’ve watched. Not over the top and just really straight forward. Plus, love that you’re pretty decent at Japanese! Hope that you are safe and well.

[@BrandoDamo]

Thanks brother! I will make some more videos. I’ve been focusing on other stuff for a while, but I’ll get some more up soon!

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

Cool scores. Yeah, I would've snagged those "accessory hanger units" too.

[@BrandoDamo]

I’ve seen Aigo wrenches around before, but I was pretty surprised to come across SEK/Pro-Auto items in America.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

@@BrandoDamo what store was this? SEK used to be a big OEM provider for American importers like Daido, and also for some stores like Fleet Farm.

[@BrandoDamo]

@@chriscas-ToolAficionado It’s a place in Idaho called Hardwick and Sons. hardwickandsons.com

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

@@BrandoDamo just saw their homepage...looks like an awesome place to be!

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.

[@BrandoDamo]

Great to hear they’ve served you well. The only Top tool I have is one ratchet, and I have no complaints!

[@benhelder7525]

Would be nice to see you do a tool haul about Japanese screwdrivers, Vessel for instance. Curious about your insight

[@BrandoDamo]

There’s some vessel drivers in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKixgmhmZdCDfrc They’re now my favorite drivers. I love their ball grip. I definitely want to get some more in additional lengths and sizes.

[@lionelarnold1179]

They done a 375mm one which I have literally just cleaned up and it looks great.

[@velse9869]

Any chance of getting a review of any of the Tajima lineups?

[@BrandoDamo]

I’d like to get a couple of tape measures from them sometime! They look nice

[@velse9869]

@@BrandoDamo I think they also released an impact driver and tool boxes but that’s probably not enough to make a video of lol

[@branned]

All my vintage KMart 1970s-1980s tools were made in Japan.

[@BrandoDamo]

I think some of those Japanese made Sears & Fuller wrenches were actually manufactured by KTC. Pretty cool

[@branned]

@@BrandoDamo You might be right!

[@1indonesia949]

Klu tenka apa bagus kak?

[@BrandoDamo]

わかりません。ごめんね

[@kerr5970]

Best aigo or flag?

[@BrandoDamo]

Aigo is shut down! But they made good stuff.

[@hamid-b3m]

I Have 8 inch & 12 inch 😁🤗🤗

[@BrandoDamo]

The collection is growing 😂

Where tools brand AIGO made

[@BrandoDamo]

Japan..

[@coboldelphi]

I didn't see anything currently, but have you checked mercari japan? Living in Japan, I have noticed this website becoming popular with selling tools inherited. There are a few 3rd party websites to assist in purchasing from the website as you need a Japanese C.C. and address. If something spectacular shows up, I'm willing to assist as I'm in Okinawa.

[@BrandoDamo]

Thanks! I’ve been on Mercari before, but have never tried to buy anything. I’ve looked at using Tenso to get a Japanese address that I can have packages forwarded from, but I haven’t had to use such a service to get what I want yet. Thankfully pretty much everything I’ve wanted to buy so far from Japan has been pretty easy to get.
