Yato Tools Quality?

[JC220]

I am interested in getting another socket set as a type of "all rounder" with enough to just grab one box when going to parts yards etc.

This one fits the bill having a good spread of socket + ratchet sizes and spanners, pliers and screwdrivers all in the same set.

Have any members used Yato tools before? Are they decent quality?

I have never broken a socket or tool in my life. I guess I do look after my tools so that shouldn't be an issue. More so just the general feel and quality of their stuff.

I've never used them but they look pretty nice.

Yes I think any reviews I see in amazon etc are positive and they do look decent.

I am going to buy a small job lot of new unused tools tomorrow and this set is in it. He agreed £80 for the set which is a very good price and again its brand new. (£160 - £180 are the best prices on eBay and amazon)

Other stuff he has is Wera Torx sets etc. I definitely don't really "need" more tools mind you...

So at that rate it will be a set I can chuck into the boot of my car when going to parts yards etc VS lugging around several cases to get my socket selection, torx, spanners and all that. This won't do it all but will cover 75% of what you generally might need hand tool wise for most basic tasks.

I got to the guys house in Belfast today and bought all the tools he had as a small job lot. He bought them all a year ago to become a Mechanic and changed his mind so it's brand new un used. I also bought a full set of new Yato Torque wrenches from him and a large bag of tools, some of it is in pics below:





Wera torx key sets and Bacho adjustable wrench. He had all high quality branded tools. I do already have the same (type of) tools at home but can you ever have too many tools(?)

The Yato stuff does feel high quality, the satin finish, knurled 6 pointed sockets with the punched numbers and the fine ratchet mechanisms.
