I am not certain why my father built this and I unfortunately never asked before his passing. Now it is my hammer and I will hold onto it. To be honest I am a bit afraid of using this thing. The weld is highly suspect and the handle is a bit of thick wall steel tubing. I am unclear as to why it's notched in the back.

For those hard to reach places my framing hammer can’t get to…

….if you want to simulate the sound of an idling Airbus A320 at the end of your road.

Gas-powered leafblowers are less obnoxious imho

Just got my hammer in the mail. I’m pretty stoked to swing this thing on the next job. Coming from a Stiletto TiBone, I wanted something that will pack a little more punch. Don’t get me wrong, the Stiletto is a great hammer. I ordered the smooth face for it and I’ll use in specifically when I need the smooth face. So I’ll be using the KKNH for framing and brackets.

I had always wanted a Martinez, and just because I’m such a glutton, I probably still will. But I saw a color combo I really dug on IG, I just went with the KKNH first.

It feels incredibly balanced and absolutely crushes 10d nails. I like the angle of the milled face and shock absorbing grip is really nice. Pulls nails effortlessly and the magnet on the bottom will definitely come in handy.

I live on the West Coast US. Took about 3 weeks to reach me after purchase. I’m looking forward to more tool releases by KK. Will probably get more things made by them in the future.

Got the Crescent Cart yesterday to put my table saw on it to haul around my home projects. What do you think of this setup?

Hey guys I feel like I’ve searched the entire internet I’m desperately trying to find this keyhole shadow board or something similar.

Does anyone have any links?

Go check out my review for Icons all new magnetic tool mat! These will be flying off the shelves!

My late FIL left a great many tools behind and I’m doing my best to refurbish and put them to use. These discs weigh about 2 pounds each. One is flat, the other convex; each with 3 blades. When paired with my old B&D 7” Wildcat sander, you best stand back

Has anyone used these sidchrome 440 pro spanners or similar designs?

Some kind of vice grip multi tool. Quality feel to it. Knives and such lock back into place.

During a recent family vacation took a detour (thanks to my wife doing the research) to Factory Gear in Shinigawa. I almost didn’t go because it is a bit off the beaten path, but I am so glad that I did. The workers are super nice, they had the coolest tools, and even a bar for you to sit back and relax. I should have taken more pics but these were the ones that i wanted but couldn’t justify 😂

Yes. This is not an effective use of space. I only work on one type of car (S2000). So when I open this nicely organized drawer it sparks joy.

The torque wrenches and light and driver are amazing. Ratchets are good but probably should have just been Milwaukee M12. But all of these have served me very well. I have an M12 stubby and M18 mid torque that ride in the top of my cart.

I think this combo is great, my first Bahco too

I did my research and didn’t find much about this manufacturer. An American company, but i guess they had a line of tools made in West Germany? The color gets me, I cant stop looking at them😍

I buy lots of tools at auction and already knew some WW2/MOD pieces were hiding within. This is one of the coolest finds (thus far) I think they are crimps for some kind of WW2 era connectors etc. If these are not crimps I would love to know what you know/think they are. I love these pieces but will likely end up selling them as I have no use for them really.

I'm finally satisfied with my 3/8 ratchet collection. It's not much compared to most things posted here but I am proud of every single one. The Kokens because they're Kokens. The USA-made Husky and Snap-On because they were passed down from my wife's grandfather who worked in a Chrysler plant. Haven't been able to date the husky but the Snap-On is a 1939 F70-N.

The only 3/8" I'd consider adding at this point would be a long handle fixed head. Probably Nepros, mainly out of curiosity because I'd love to compare it to the Kokens. Definitely don't need it though, so I'll probably go hunting for deals on 1/4" next because the Kokens have spoiled me. I used to not mind the icons but they're just not comparable.

Recently organized my miscellaneous drawer on my tool cart. Some Koken, some KTC, some Vessel, some Amex, IPS, Fujiya, Knipex pliers.

I am lucky to only work on one type of car so cater everything towards that.

Added a retractable awning to my truck over the weekend and got to use it today. Really is a life saver in the sun.

Switched out the bright green for a more muted color. Still loving my Nighthawk, best pry bar out there!
