Nice Koken! The only Japanese tool I currently own is an amazing pair of Green Bell nail clippers.

For that price, I will have to stick to my Lisle relay pliers.Interesting looking pliers. Hope they work for you.

Apparently I had also signed up at a site called ToolOutfitters to be notified when back in stock. Just got an email. Online at time of posting shows 7 in stock, which is the same number Mile X told me they had a received a couple weeks ago.Thanks for the heads up. I like that 7503 and wanted another. Just placed the order with them at lunchtime.
That really puts things in perspective!Koken 2726ZB-3/8 ratchet. Shown next to a 3/8" Dual 80 just for perspective. As frequently noted, Koken's low backdrag is phenomenal.

The back drag is so, so low. Feel in the hand is excellent. Paw moves effortlessly but with a firm detent.

That Koken ratchet with 3/8" anvil in a long 1/4" drive body, is still available at Amazon for $64.64. The price at Koken-USA is $159.75.
I own that, and it's good for the most part, but it's so big, and bulky hard to get into tight spaces. I upgraded to Milwaukee's 3/8.I planning on buying this little guy with my tax return later this week. It will compliment my impact wrench nicely.

Love mine!Knipex flush cutting Super Knips, from Amazon ($29). The pivot joint is precisely machined, with no detectable slop, but with very low friction.
