Those tool box looks reallllly niceeee would love to have one on my car I still remember my first toolbox that I got from my pops ... not all that amazing but it really did get me started had a bunch of cable cutters crimpers and a small hammer ... and it also had a few leather punch tools cuz my pops thought its used for networking XD
Are you secretly the voice actor for Archer?? LMAO. Also great video love the Japanese tool content. My tool box is switching from north american tools to Japanese tools in a hurry.
Great video, definitely picking up those vice grips for my blue Toyo box! Did you put a soft liner on the bottom? Mine is bare metal, just bought some cheap rubber liner from Harbor Fr(i)ght.
For those of us who want to buy Japanese tools (and boxes) online (a) for reasonable prices and (b) with some hope of receiving them before we die, could you please suggest ways and means?
Amazon Japan all the way! You just have to register a new account as you can’t use your American Amazon account. You can’t get everything and you have to be careful on the stated fulfillment time on each item (a random item might have a “usually ships by” date which is weeks or a month and that will throw off your whole order’s shipping time). But you can get most things on there and I get stuff routinely in 3 days, which is amazing.
Have you signed up for Amazon Japan's version of Prime, and if so, has it proven to be a substantial money-saver? Do find it applies to the tools you want most of the time?
Amazon Japan removes the 8% sales tax if you are buying from outside Japan. Capital One does not charge a fee to convert the Japanese yen to American dollars so you can save some money by using one of their credit cards. The shipping is cheap if you make large orders and I actually receive my orders the next day once Amazon Japan ships.
@@daviejz6698 Great comment and tips! Thank you. I recently started using my Capital One card for Amazon Japan too. I also wait until I have a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff in my cart to save on shipping. It’s amazingly affordable and convenient!
If I can get something I want through Amazon Japan that is my preferred method, but somethings you can’t get. You can buy from some manufacturers directly. Sometimes I buy through Japanese websites if they will ship to me. And there are some other methods to get stuff if you really want it but it’s not offered internationally.
@@BrandoDamo thanks i am going to buy a nepros haif inch drive ratchet and spinner and 2 toyo y-350 tool boxes one for myself and one for my dad what other basic handtools wouid u recomend
Some basic things I use everyday would be vessel ball grip screwdrivers, Olfa utility knives, Lobtex lobster adjustable wrenches, just to give you an idea. One of my most used and favorite tools is not even Japanese at all, the Knipex pliers wrench is such a game changer!
I love the minimal packaging used in japan, no fuss no muss, I truly despise companies who keep pushing this bullshit idea of "unboxing experience" like anyone would actually like opening his presents more than the presents themselves....😑
Simple is usually better. Keep in mind that these are all very affordable, cheaper option in this toolbox. When it comes to very expensive items, I do think some thought should be put into how it is presented to the customer, but I agree, the focus should be on what’s inside!
@@BrandoDamo I understand how you feel but I still think the only purpose of packaging is to ensure a safe shipping for the item itself and nothing more, an example that made my day was my Pelican case 1510 which arrived in a cardboard box and nothing else, with the implicit message of "we sell indistructible cases what the hell would we need packaging for?!?". My baseline reasoning every time I buy something is "how much of my money is going into the elaborate design and production of a complex BOX which I do not need nor I'll ever use again?", some times it is not avoidabke but I find it a good mantra when shopping 😁
I don't mind an unboxing experience. I mind when they put 2 things in the same space you could put 5 or 10 of those things in. Or when they make the packaging so hard to get into that you want to give up or open it up with a 12ga LOL. I could care less about unboxing the thing, I just wish they'd give a good manual and forget the extra expense they put I the box. Or put it in something that's useful (like a plastic cover over the screwdrivers, but the plastic can be used to hold the drivers on a wall or something.
Nothing to do with these? The reason “Channel lock” is a ubiquitous term for these pliers is that Channel Lock invented them. Their technical designation would be something like “multi-position, tongue and groove, slip-joint pliers” or “adjustable joint pliers.” Water pump pliers is another term, but pretty rare in North America.
That's a perfect gift for a son. I don't have kids yet, but I can't wait to teach my future kids how to use tools 😅
What a great uncle!
Very pleased with Vessel drivers. I am looking forward to getting my first trusco/toyo box and becoming dependent.
You’ll love the box I’m sure! Yeah vessel are my go to now for drivers. Their ball grip is perfect.
Excellent starter sets....those Toyo boxes should age well and develop a nice 'vintage' patina over the years. 👍
Thanks! Yes, I'm hoping these boxes will last them a lifetime!
Just have to say that what you said early was very deep. "You cant get through life w/o having some kind of tool
It’s true!
I like the little adjustable wrench.
I like them too but not as much as my Lobster Lobtex adjustable wrenches. Those are the best!
Those tool box looks reallllly niceeee would love to have one on my car

The metal Toyo boxes have such a good feel to them. They scream “I’ll last a lifetime”
Nice setup brotha. 👌🏾 good uncle alert ⚠️ 📢
Appreciate it!
Lucky nephews

I want one for a tackle box
That would be a great use for one!
If they had these to replace gun cases, old have a stack of them. Thanks for the video.
Toyo’s T-360 model might work well if you cut your own foam insert.
Are you secretly the voice actor for Archer?? LMAO. Also great video love the Japanese tool content. My tool box is switching from north american tools to Japanese tools in a hurry.
😂 Someone said Bob’s Burgers which I think is the same guy
You're an awesome uncle! They're gonna be asking you for Nepros and Ko-ken tools soon. 🙂
Maybe when they’re a little older. I’ve held off on getting them sockets and ratchets so far!
Where do you find additional/replacement ISO/DIN compliant bits for the TD-110 driver for JIS screws?
I don’t think they offer additional bit. So don’t loose them!
Great video, definitely picking up those vice grips for my blue Toyo box! Did you put a soft liner on the bottom? Mine is bare metal, just bought some cheap rubber liner from Harbor Fr(i)ght.
I bought foam liners from Toyo for the boxes, but it’s just a rectangle of foam rubber, nothing special!
Is there a model number on the green Vessel screwdriver?
I think it’s 「230s6100」
Im looking at these tools way cool! I am on japan amazon how do you buy it on there an get it to the us?
You can’t use your USA Amazon.com login credentials, you have to register a separate new account only for shopping on Amazon.jp that’s pretty much it
Where can I find these?
Amazon Japan is where all this stuff came from!
Do the Vessel screwdrivers work well with Philips head screws or should they only be used on JIS screws?
They work on both
@@BrandoDamo thank you!
I have the this same tool box.They do stick to a magnet.Are they entirely of stainless steel?
They’re just steel.

You can’t use prime outside of your home country.

All these items are just from Amazon Japan.
where do you by your japanese tools

No hammer ?
They each had a hammer already 🤷♂️

Screwdrivers made for metric fasteners just don't fit quite right
I find that JIS “plus” driver geometry cams out far less than standard Phillips drivers. 🤷♂️
SO much space left. Add your bento box in there.
They can grow into it!
You need to add a hammer! The most basic tool. 😊
They already have hammers!
Well, if you think about it, everything is a Hammer.
no roberts eh.
I’m not familiar with them. But this was all focused on Japanese brands.
Only 6 items into the toolbox!
Just a start!
Would be nice if you used the term water pump pliers instead of naming a brand that has absolutely nothing to do with these
Nothing to do with these? The reason “Channel lock” is a ubiquitous term for these pliers is that Channel Lock invented them. Their technical designation would be something like “multi-position, tongue and groove, slip-joint pliers” or “adjustable joint pliers.” Water pump pliers is another term, but pretty rare in North America.
