If I'm not mistaken, items one brings in meant for business use are always taxed as opposed to personal use.

I'm pretty sure you can bring back 800.00 of anything without tax.

I'll declare everything regardless and let the chips fall where they may.
 
Very nice! I have a few of those items including the top ratchet. The Nepros flex head mechanism is perfection.

This Nepros is siting aside my long handle dual 80 as drawer candy.

The Dean Ratchet is an interesting piece.
Rotations of the handle in either direction cause the mechanism to turn - but in one direction only regardless.
in situations where even the low backdrag ratchets start becoming useless this guy will keep driving with just a few twists.

The little Ko-Ken ratchet is a 3/8 on a 1/4 body and has so little backdrag it's almost unfathomable - even besting the Nepros.

My Nepros are pretty much drawer candy also to be honest. I prefer the dual 80s but the Nepros sure are pretty!

That’s really neat with the Dean ratchet, I think I saw something like that one time.

I love the Koken except that the direction selector is backwards, some don’t mind but drives me crazy.

Great haul for sure!
 
I dont pay much attention to selector position as many of my smaller facom ratchets use a wheel so I re index per task.

I can see if one is used to muscle memory it can be annoying but i use so many diff ratchets there is no standard on my end.
