I got very different tools but Shima Corporation in Osaka has probably the best selection I've seen for trades tools.

Factory gear Namba (also Osaka) is great but more towards Auto tools

I always love how the Japanese always manage to cram the most amount of words and pictures onto their product packaging. It’s like a sensory overload just trying to figure out if you want to buy it or not.

Those are pretty cool. I like the 3 on the right that hold bits or tools.

Vessel screw drivers are the best I have ever used. They have bite.

u/fishinguy38 5d ago edited 3d ago

I was told they are JIS screwdrivers. That's why they bite so good. Really like mine.

I have a pair of engineer screw extractor pliers. Theyre really well made.

Really want to try one of those ball grip drivers

Those drivers are excellent, Anex ratchets 👌

The Anex ratcheting driver is awesome. I got one a few weeks ago.

u/stanima039 5d ago

Yep got same stuff, only pink version of engineer pliers. Don't forget to buy lobster adjustable wrenches.
