It's huge.
Tell us how you use it]
The Rear Axle Nut of Triumph tf250e is 32mm in large size and tightened with high torque. Therefore, less precise tools or short wrenches will not work. In order to ensure both reliable torque control and safe operation, we introduced this long glasses wrench made by KTC, a trusted brand.
I could have used a later Socket, but I wanted a bit of a big tool in Simple.
How was your experience with it?
The sense of weight and rigidity that can be felt the moment you pick it up is truly Real tools.\" Thanks to the 45° rise angle, the force can be applied perpendicularly to the bolt, avoiding interference with the Exhaust System and Swing Arm. The 45° rise angle allows the force to be applied perpendicular to the bolt, avoiding interference with the Exhaust System and Swing Arm, and provides excellent work stability.
[How was the functionality and comfort?
KTC's unique PowerFit Shape.\" The Wrench's large size makes it easy to lick the Bolt, but the Damage is immeasurable. The large size of the Wrench is so large that it is difficult to estimate the damage caused by licking the bolt, but this Wrench has a fit feeling as if it is being sucked on, and there is no sign of slipping even if you put a lot of effort into it. The Satin finish on the surface is non-slip and allows for a firm grip even when working with hands covered in oil, making us very satisfied with the comfort of using this product for real-world use.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It has worked as expected or even better. It is extremely reliable as a tool and we have not found anything that has disappointed us.
How did it compare to other products?
The Glasses Wrench has a rigidity like a straight line in the high torque area where the MONKEY Wrench tends to lose power, and it is very easy to use during the work. \"Reliable feeling\" This quality makes us realize that we should use the exclusively designed high-quality Glasses Wrench when handling Large Diameter Bolt.
[Points to note]
Because of its extremely long length and large force applied, it should be noted that it tends to be overtorque when tightening. We recommend the use of a torque wrench for final tightening, but for loosening and temporary tightening, this is the most reliable wrench available. When storing it, it is necessary to reserve space for its large size.

Once you get used to it, it is quite easy to use and efficiency Up!
[How is it used?
I used to use a cheap Ratchet Handlebar, but I debuted KTC's RatchetDebut it has a good reputation.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The tool was heavier and more dazzling in luster than I expected.
How was your experience with it?
My initial impression was not good, because the push-release type was too cumbersome to operate with one hand, and I felt that the less expensive Ratchet was easier to use.
However, as I got used to using it, I became able to operate it with one hand, and my work efficiency improved. Especially when using the Extension bar, the hold feeling is good and it is easy to apply Torque, so it is very useful.
Also, the rotation switching and unique shape are quite good, as well as the well-thought-out construction, which is a natural force to operate.
[Points to note]
At first it may be unfamiliar and difficult to use, but as you use it, you will get hooked.
How did it compare to other products?
Although it is a unique operation to switch GEAR and attach/detach the socket, once you get used to it, you will be able to operate it with a single finger. In addition, the knob on the head part of other companies' products spin around when switching GEAR halfway, but KTC is made so that such a thing is unlikely to happen, and we felt that KTC was the right choice.
I use KTC for the sockets I use most often and TONE etc. for the sockets I don't use very often.

This is good.
[How is it used?
I use this tool for maintenance work on my car, mainly when removing and installing suspension and exterior parts, such as removing the head when changing tires, pulling out and inserting the axle shaft, and removing a sticking cover. It is a highly universal tool that can be used in a wide range of maintenance scenarios if you have one.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The 1-pound standard is a size that is very easy to handle in motorcycle maintenance, and the weight balance is excellent. The rubber of the head part is also very dense and does not feel brittle, which is often the case with inexpensive products. The handle is also shaped for easy gripping. It is a high-quality tool that combines functional beauty and reliability, just as we expected.
How was your experience with it?
The shock absorption at the time of impact is excellent, and the strain on the wrist is impressive. The force is transmitted to the object without escaping too much, which allows for efficient work. In addition, thanks to the high quality material, it is very helpful that it does not leave any black marks on the struck area. The moderate weight of the tool provides sufficient striking force with only a light shake, and it is easy to control even in a narrow space, making it a very user-friendly product.
[Points to note]
Material:The surface of the rubber may be scraped off if sharp edges or corners are hit too hard. Also, leaving oil adhered to the surface may accelerate deterioration, so it is important to clean the surface after work to prolong its life.
How did it compare to other products?
Compared to inexpensive products, the strength of the joint between the head and the handle is dramatically different. Even after long use, it is hard to rattle, and the consistent comfort of use can be maintained.

For on-board tools
I use it to organize my on-board tools for my TW225.
I removed the OEM box and attached a bag to the Rear and put it inside.
I store all OEM tools and the things I use in one place, and I think it is hard to lose in the bag because it has a Flap to prevent tools from falling out.
This is the second time I've purchased this because I absolutely want a Pocket and Flap that can hold Small things, so I've practically had to choose this one.

Tools that are just too expensive.
This is KTC's Ceramic scraper. As the name suggests, the blade is made of Ceramic.:There are many plastics, but this one is made of Ceramic, which is rare among them.
The price is a little steep at 5,000 yen for such a small size, but it is a very useful and convenient product to have.
I looked at other toolmanufacturers and could not find anything similar to this.
I mainly use it to remove rust and dirt from the BrakePiston when performing maintenance around the Brake.
I originally bought it after being allowed to use it at my favorite Motorcycle shop, but I fell in love with how comfortable it was and decided I wanted one myself.
We do not sell replacement blades only, etc., and since the blades are Ceramic, shocks are strictly forbidden. If you break it, you will have to buy a new one. If you have one in your tool box, it will be very useful when cleaning around the brake.
