PSA: Tsunoda PL-200 pliers. King TTC vs "DIY"?
These pliers were all sourced from Amazon UK, but something seems amiss with one of them…

what did i just watch
😂
If you're going to order a pair of the Tsunoda slip joint pliers, I would highly recommend the 'Tsunoda PLC-200S Slim Pliers with Spring'. For just a few dollars more, the spring pair have additional machining to receive a small, hidden spring under the rivet, making them spring 'open return' pliers, and boy are they nice. Aside from the spring, and the extra three bucks (Cdn.), everything else is exactly the same as the regular 'slims' (PLC-200), and the spring also aides in flipping the pliers to the second position one handed. I definitely recommend spending the extra few bucks. Additionally, the 'Slims' have a 'hot rivet' in place of the nut and bolt shown on the above pair, minimizing play, as well as diagonally opposed teeth for vastly improved grip. Unfortunately I don't see the 'Springs' on the UK site...I bought them off Amazon Canada.
Great tip, thanks!
Hey interesting ratchet screwdriver! Do you know the part number? It looks very handy
It seems like there have been some relevant product releases since you posted this video. For instance, I think you might appreciate the newish ratcheting Wera 838 RA-S (or the slightly larger RA-M). Also, what is the brand of the socket kit you teased? I know Tone and Facom produce extremely similar kits, but I'm always shopping. Will you still be producing a video on those sockets?
Hey man, thanks for the great comment The socket set is from KS Tools and is the same as the Facom RX line (& very similar to the Tone but with some minor differences, still likely the same OEM); It's 11m hex & 1/4", and compatible with Wera Zyklop Mini 2. Though, to be honest, I find the Makita XPS 1/4" set (imported from the US) to be more convenient today. You're right, I'd love a Wera 838, though I'm holding out in the hope that they offer the smaller handle with the Rapidaptor I do have a video shot on the sockets but not much free time to edit & upload it 😔
annex what series is that?
in slot cars, they often use brass pinion gears aswell, on standard nylon spur gears, and they also look like that brass just aint no good for gears IMO
Oh wow, interesting
@@theahmadperson btw if you figure out the tpi (pitch) and teeth count you can probably find a steel RC car gear that fits in there
Thank you so much that helped me a LOT I got the PL-200 King TTC (real ones from Japan) they are amazing
Wow that's a pretty extensive EDC toolkit with some high quality items. For a second I thought the stubby/ratchet driver was a Felo, I can see it isn't but didn't catch what it is. I have a small pouch kit as 2nd tier beyond what's in my pockets, that's more targeted at bike repair although there can be overlap and then I change my pocket carry to be more bike friendly. General non-bike urban pocket carry is Vic Climber (it's all about the scissors), Knipex Cobra XS, and Wera 813 screwdriver handle with extender and bits. If I'm going on the bike I tend to swap out the Wera driver for a Sealey mini ratchet, with some Allen bits (also sold as Sabrecut). Also I may swap out the Climber for a Farmer X as I like riding along towpaths and can deal with any branches obstructing the path. The pliers wrench is definitely the better option for dealing with nuts/bolts than the Cobra XS which has aggressive teeth, but the Cobra is a better all-rounder. I may well invest in a pliers wrench for the bike toolkit.
The stubby screwdriver w/Centrofix (top left, not ratcheting unfortunately) is a Felo model no. 61585; The bit ratchet towards the right is from a Taiwanese co. called 711L. It's designed to fit a Leatherman bit holder but works great with this setup too. I would actually like to replace one of the screwdriver handles with a ratcheting one but I haven't found anything compact enough yet.
@@theahmadperson Thanks I realised it was a Felo when I watched your previous short. I just found out about 711L yesterday, the US EDC channel maxlvledc showed these little bit ratchets. There aren't many out there which also have an inline bit holder, the other popular one is the Sabrecut/Sealey mini ratchet but the 711L is smaller and I believe better quality hence the higher price. As to compact ratcheting handle, depends whether you consider stubby compact or not but Stahlwille make one for a pretty decent price, but it doesn't have onboard bit storage. Wera make one with onboard bit storage (Kraftform Kompakt). Otherwise there is the PB Swiss ratcheting stubby with onboard bit storage but only available imported from Japan and pretty pricey.
I've been looking for ages at options for a pocketable EDC bit driver. After trying a few I've found the best is a very simple but very capable solution, way better than those specific EDC bit drivers like LeverGear Bitvault (£40), CRKT Pocket Driver Stash (£45), James Brand Cache River (£60), Maratac nub (£20 but tiny and smooth, not really fit for purpose). It's the basic small Wera 813. 78mm/3 in long, about the size of a Bic lighter. Usual Wera ergos and quality. Can use as stubby just with 1/4 in bits, add an extender for more reach. £10 on the bay. However I've just realised that the Wiha product is just an adaptor/extender which I don't need, the Anex handle looks good too, but they're only available from Japan and the p&p is exhorbitant.
Yeah, I've been wondering if it's worth importing tools from Japan to sell at more reasonable prices than buying one-offs. But I don't know how much demand there'd be. I have considered the Wera 813 but I'm not ready to give up my Centrotec/double-sided bits just yet…
@@theahmadperson I don't see the point in you getting the Wera 813 (doesn't take double sided bits) as you already have the Anex handle. As far as I can see it takes standard 1/4 in bits without the Centrotec adapter? So you already have that option.
@@simonh6371 right, that's why don't have/stopped considering it :) Just uploaded a new short on my full EDC kit, check it out if you're interested
@@theahmadperson I will check it out, thanks, and I'll subscribe if I already haven't.
Pros Cons vs flexible head ratchet ?
I don't actually own any flex-heads but I'd say an advantage is being able to spin a fastener (like a screwdriver/spinner handle) straight up when loosened. Downside is it takes a while to get the tension dialled in on the joint to a level that suits you (they's an adjustment screw). These also feel quite heavy in the hand, especially the smaller sizes, and the reversing ring is a bit fiddly. Lever like a normal ratchet would be easier.
@@theahmadperson thanks. How about the width, I see roto head seem to be wider than 'standard' ratchet. Is that often/rare become a problem in real application ?
These are very compact for a roto, and I've never had a problem. If you think about it you need room for the swing arc of the head standard/flex so this is more compact in most cases
The nut on there is for you to tight up and remove the play or loosen them to what you want. The 6" ones are riveted and can't be adjusted. Personally, I would always rather have a nut than a rivet. Drop of thread locker if they get loose over the years. In general, slip joint style pliers are more likely to have play in them than other types. Japan tool makers can be a bit quirky about the markings on the tools. These Tsunoda yellow handle line are entry level (don't get me wrong, they're great, as even entry level made in Japan stuff is great) so Tsunoda randomly putting DIY on some of them wouldn't be a red flag to me. I don't think they are fake. The DIY marked, with "made in Japan," were probably just the ones exported to Europe. While TTC Japan were the domestic (Japanese) ones. Unlikely there would be much difference in quality.
Thanks for the perspective
Oh right marvellous fantastic superb 👍👍👍
Does the Centrofix bit fully seat in the Anex handle?
Depends what you mean. It seats until the ball bearing hits its detent but isn't fully retained there, and continues to seat further down (fully "bottomed-out" but held only by friction) It's fairly secure but this is why I mentioned wanting to glue it in at the time; Pulling up on the Centrofix to eject can sometimes pull the adapter out back to the detent.
@@theahmadperson Thanks. I suppose I could cut a section of an old hex bit as a spacer to let it bottom out and be secured by the detent. I'd hate to have to keep up with that little piece tho! A Japanese video reviewer suggested this handle was not too robust. Any thoughts?
@@johncarpenter6275 it's plenty solid but not the most ergonomic in this scenario (too narrow). I much prefer using the Anex compact ball head (non-ratcheting), which also has a little stronger retention, but that won't fit in this pouch.
@@theahmadperson I have the Anex 397, 3775, & 3780, which I all really like. Each take bit shanks in ~40mm.
@@johncarpenter6275 ah, it's the 3780 to which I'm referring, that's my favourite with the Centrofix. My 397 doesn't live up to expectations, and I'd like to try a 3775
Thank you for sharing this video, it helps us understand what we need better.
This is a brand that will go up in price once more people find out about them. I was surprised projectfarm had them actually. I bought my first set 3-4 years ago and soon after the first I ended up with maybe 6 or so sets right after I got the first from the quality and knowing once the word spreads price goes up. My slip joints don’t say DIY and they don’t have the nut. I have them posted in my cart tour and they certainly don’t look like that. I don’t like that they can’t sell you that if that’s not what’s in the photo.
Who makes that rail?
It's a simple wall-mounted tool rail, got mine from Lidl here in the UK and just laid it flat in the drawer instead. If you search for "loop wall mount tool rail" you should find plenty of equivalent options.
@@theahmadperson what’s the brand on it. SnapOn sells that rail in the use but I’m trying to find who makes it really. I bet that’s the company. I can probably import it for cheaper then buying off the truck
@@austinmckimmey8566 If it's from Lidl it's Parkside brand. Parkside are German and I think they don't exclusively sell via Lidl, but they outsource manufacturing i.e. not made in Germany but good price/quality and okay for home/DIY, just not ''Profi'' quality.
I just ordered a set off amazon UK and they came with the diy mark, all the pictures for it said king ttc so looks like I will be sending them back! ordered another set off amazon us because couldn't find any on amazon japan. So see what they turn out like
Update: ordered from amazon us got the ttc king as ordered quality is much better than diy and has a yellow back card not the black. don't bother ordering them from amazon UK save some hassle
Sweet. Lately I've been ordering from Japan, either direct from amazon.jp or using domestic sites and forwarding
Was yours misaligned?
Not sure if it's misalignment or a bent shaft, but yes, the Centrofix has more runout than you would expect. You really don't notice it in a hand tool, though!
Did you ever find a conclusion on this? Mine that i just ordered clearly say king ttc not DIY
Pretty convinced mine were fake, returned them to Amazon. Where did you buy from?
Seems your suspicions are right: ruclips.net/video/KxRT-WOjQgo/видео.html
😍😍😍
Unfortunately this can burn the driver's out
Yup, that's why I installed the protectors, but they don't seem to be doing their job…
Wow
Loooll

Salaam Are you still working on book scaning with ScanTailor? If so I would like to enlist your help for a project. Please let me know if your interested.
Just an extra since it wasn't mentioned and I ran into this problem, if the PDF Beads install doesn't work (Internet is down or connection could not be established automatically) you can go here: rubygems.org/gems/pdfbeads and Download the Pdf beads Gem File and install it (gem install pdfbeads-1.0.9.gem)
Hi. Thanks so much for your work. Will this work on a 64 bit system? Thanks!
you going to post a follow up? I think more people would like to see this video but don't know they would like to see this video because who would guess that a tool used for image processesing, pdf creation and ebook prep would be called PDF Beads. Love your work dude!
