So how do you pick the Japanese Makita? Is it just a case of checking the label on individual appliances, or are they only available from particular retailers?

For tools to carry in the car this combo from Bahco covers probably 80% of my travelling needs. The quality is excellent. The ratchet ring spanner set has really good tiny ratchet increments, good for tight spaces, but is also a great space & weight saving as each spanner has 4 sizes on it making this set of 4 the equivalent of 16 spanners. (8mm-27mm ) The heads are slightly larger than if they were 16 (or 8) individual spanners, but to date this has not proven a problem. I love the socket set +. Having it all in the case, each item with it's own place is a real luxury (for me). Many times I've been packing up & straight off noticed an item missing from it's designated spot - only to then find it laying in the grass or the sand.

However, probably the one single tool I would most not want to be without is one made by Jung. A pair of multigrips. They are so versatile, & these Jung ones are just so well designed compared to others I have had in the past. Great grip, great leverage, great ergonomics & does not get 'jammed up' like some of the cheaper designs. Chrome-vanadium. This is one of those tools that we probably shouldn't use for many of the tasks they get used for, but I trust this one. No idea where you'd buy one now though. A quick google for Jung Tools didn't find anything. I bought this probably 6 or 7 years ago from Total Tools. if you come across one grab it quick.

That's a bloody good looking multi grip Cuppa, solid as a bloody rock.

Has anyone used those sockets that are 1 size on 1 side and another size on the other? Wondering if they're any good???

Wow didn't know about the pommy factory. Have always preferred makita tools, and when i bought the rattle gun a few years ago I had to be particular. The good from Nippon. The not-so-good from Bat Soup central.
