          Anyone else gone down there Japanese hand tool rabbit hole? Really enjoy working with my nepros and koken tools when I can. The snap on stuff just feels clunky and awkward in comparison.

                Their ratchets and sockets are so incredibly nice. The mirror finish is not unlike a good art piece. The koken stuff is a bit more designed for functionality imo and I like their action and handling a bit more. Especially how they design the ratchets for ultra low back drag.

                      I'm a bit of an unabashed tool whore. One of my many hobbies is building fine bamboo fly fishing rods which requires absolute precision.

                          @Jcaz6996 is that a Martinez I spot? I’ve been thinking about buying one myself for a while now, do you think it justifies its price?

                                  @Jcaz6996 I’m a roofer, so we batten the roofs out with nail guns but then fix the tiles/slates with a hammer and I end up knocking in a few hundred nails a day at least.. the few joiners I’ve asked have said the same as you, I just need to bite the bullet and get one ordered don’t i!
