Nepros Prices Increasing 50% !

[SubLGT]

It seems that the wholesale price of Nepros and KTC tools for USA dealers is increasing by at least 50%.
This email from DRPD explains it. DRPD has a clearance sale of 15-45% on all KTC and Nepros tools.

I have bought my Nepros tools directly from KTC. No price increase mentioned, and free shipping.

I don’t know who DRPD is, but if they’re putting the tools on clearance, that is a good opportunity.

So, your thread title is misleading. KTC isn’t increasing prices to the consumer, only to this distributor, and Nepros tools are still available.

The email states that prices are increasing for USA Retailers.

If anyone sees any good prices on these beautiful tools, please post.

There has to be more to this story. Manufacturers regularly increase prices, sometimes substantially -- they just pass the cost along to the consumer. It is what it is.

Only $24,150. Not bad!

Since tariffs have been applied, pulled back, re-applied, narrowed, etc, expect pretty much all manufacturers, distributors, retails to also add on extra administrative fees regardless of an official tariffs to monitor such chaotic policies "out of their control."

Again, I’ve always bought direct.

Those prices are unchanged.

So, the retailers may have received this message, but the price to consumers is not “increasing 50%!”.

The retailers, more accurately, this retailer, may have seen the price increase, but direct sales are the same price.

I've ordered a few sets to give away as stocking stuffers this Christmas.

I wouldn't mind having my stocking stuffed with one of those sets!

I’ve bought a few things from Amazon coming from Germany or Japan. Much cheaper but no warrantee as far as I know. This increase is for a US retailer.

Where's the sale??? Best ratchets on the market IMHO. Nepro ratchets + Koken Z sockets = heaven.

I'm surprised I didn't get the email, but I'm glad I bought my Nepros tools when I did.

Over $3k for ~40 piece set? Insane.
