Tool Manufacturer in Japan
The socket set was purchased 40 years ago from an unknown manufacturer. 14mm is the last one. I am not so particular about it, but I bought it this time because TONE is JapanBrand.
I don't know how to compare it to a no-name brand with a different price tag, but it is well made and has no wobble. The half pear shape also helps to reduce oil slippage, and I felt that the handlebar socket really shows off the performance of the handlebar. I am glad that I purchased a solid one because I will be using it a lot.

3/8 might be better for the final tightening.
I would like to add that the product description was missing.
This is a Hexagon socket with a 6.35mm (1/4Inch) insertion angle. This size is 4mm.
2.I bought everything from 5 to 8mm at once.
Compact tools are easier to use for attaching/removing exterior and small objects, so they are used separately from 9.5mm (3/8) tools.
It is useful to use this Socket together with a 1/4Inch THandlebar or a 1/4 Driver-like Handlebar.
For 8mm hexes, the Torque is so large that it is safer to use a 3/8 insert depending on the location, but for hexes located in tight spaces or at the back of the room, a slim 1/4 is not acceptable.
I am using a 3/8 hex socket made by KTC, but the hex shaft (tip bit) is screw-fixed and can easily come off.
So I bought more 1/4s and made them TONE. This is good because the tip Bit is press-fitted so it won't fall out.
Can I recommend this product to my friends and acquaintances? ⇒ YES... You can RECOMMENDATION.

I purchased this for Belt tension adjustment of the YamahaBOLT Shoulder Bag.
To adjust the drive belt of the YamahaBOLT Shoulder Bag, a 27mm and 22mm Socket or Wrench is required.
This time, a 1/2 square Torque wrench and a Quantity:Purchased and worked with Set.
Socket and Hex recently purchased and worked on this product because they love TONE products.
There were no problems with quality or accuracy, and the work itself was completed quickly and easily.

Reliable TONE products
[How is it used?
Used for removal and installation of exhaust pipe of YAMAHA XJR400R.
I wonder if the product is the same etc. as the 8mm hexagonal.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I checked the actual product at a mass retailer before purchasing and it was as per Image.
How was your experience with it?
I used to use an ordinary hexagonal tool to remove and install the exhaust pipe, but it was a bit odd because I had to use a lot of force in a narrow space. I was also worried about managing the Torque by hand, so I took the plunge and purchased this product, even though it is a bit pricey. After purchasing this product, it can be used for Ratchet and Torque wrench, so it is quite easy to use.
Also, since it is a TONE product, the quality is good and will last a lifetime.
[Points to note]
None in particular
How did it compare to other products?
There were other products at lower prices, but the most decisive factor was the long hexagonal part.
I was concerned about damaging the exhaust pipe if this part was too short, so I chose this product, which is as long as possible.

I feel it's better than KTC.
This is a combination wrench from TONE, the second Japanese standard after KTC.
You can often find them at home centers and other places, so you may have many opportunities to touch the actual products.
There is a tendency in the world to think ” KTC” first of all, but at least in Sun Machine Level, I don't think you can find any part of TONE's tools that is functionally inferior to KTC's.
The only thing I would say is Brand power.
But I think that's simply because ”TONE is a little cheaper, ” and that's because it's an original Image.
In actual use and comparison, I personally did not find anything inferior to KTC.
I don't feel any problems with the sense of precision and rigidity.
Rather, I felt that TONE's surface finish was characteristically high quality and better, somewhere between nashiji and mirror surface, or smooth nashiji.
This is a good product with this quality at a good price and even better availability.
Furthermore, it is better than mindlessly buying KTC, which is more "twu-like".
I would have used KTC's Combination wrench without thinking about it at first, but if I could go back to those days, I would have used TONE.

For Top Bridge removal
[How is it used?
YAMAHA XJR400R (07 year) Purchased this item to remove the Top Bridge to make the Separate handleSpec.
Not only XJR400R, but also Motorcycle's Top Bridge is fixed with 27mm bolt, but it is likely to be tampered to loosen it with Wrench or MONKEY.
Also, since it is a rare Size, Home center often does not sell it. I also looked for it at Home center at first, but they have 12-square but not 6-square Socket.
It seems that it can be used with a 12-square, but I rejected it because it seems to change the way Torque is applied and I am afraid of it.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It was just as Image.
The only use for it is to remove the Top Bridge, but I am glad I bought it because I will be using it for O/H of the Front fork and for returning the car for inspection.
How was your experience with it?
It feels like an ordinary Socket, but compared to the cheap Socket I usually use, I feel that the TONE-made Socket is made differently.
[Points to note]
The slot is Large, so you need to check the size of your Ratchet.

I chose TONE after hesitating between KTC and KOKEN.
Quantity:I ended up using the SK11 Hex socket I bought Set for many years.
Bit of Size (4mm, 5mm, 6mm) that is often used (4mm, 5mm, 6mm) to dispel the fear of licking as the corners round off.
I decided to purchase Single Item and replace it.
I thought KTC and Koken would be good, but they are rare for Hex sockets.
I was attracted to TONE because of the Silver color.
As expected from a domestic manufacturer, the product is of high quality.
This allows for safe maintenance.

Buy direct from Manufacturer
The company had a tone-in salesperson come to the company and promote the product. That's when I discovered the Digi-Torque and bought it.
This is placed between the Ratchet and Socket to measure the torque. When you reach the specified torque, you can hear a sound.
I use it for cars and motorcycles.
