I can't wait to try a few of these. Definitely can't afford the whole set, but the 8, 10, 12, and 14 will be in my hands before long. They look perfect for small equipment maintenance. All the reviews I've read really rave about the quality, and I've got a few Tone ratchets already. They pay attention to the details when manufacturing. It's not made in Taiwan, though. They have manufacturing facilities in Japan and one in Vietnam. Some Taiwan manufacturers do copy some of their designs. Their ball detent is my favorite non-locking design out there. It has a very positive feel, nice and tight.
This does seem to be made in Japan. According to their website, the have a manufacturing plant in Osaka. But with that said, this specific tool could be manufactured elsewhere
If you think that's a gimmick (or you're just interested in novelty wrenches) you should check out the Neilsen ratcheting flare wrenches! I have an 8mm one for working on hydraulic disk brakes on mountain bikes and it's worked fine so far but I'm not sure if it would be up to the job in higher torque applications or how long it would last in professional/regular use.
they are well made, got them a few months ago and happy with them.

Not a gimmick, but a very specific wrench. Useful for brakes, abs modules stuff like that.
Probably gonna pick up an 8, 10, and 12mm
