Don’t you sometimes wish you could get your hands on dream tools and machinery that aren’t sold in Japan?
When you take a look around,
you might be surprised to find yourself thinking, “Wow, tools like this actually exist?”
The shops I’m introducing are safe to buy from and ship to Japan, so please use them as a reference.
This time I’m introducing Trick Tools.
They’re also active on Instagram and other platforms, which adds credibility and peace of mind.
Let me show you a few things I’ve bought from them.
The time to buy is when you want something—the future won’t wait for you.
First up is a bead roller (small diameter)—though nowadays there’s a reinforced version available, which is a real bummer.
Bead Form 1 Heavy-Duty
If you try to force the bead out with the standard version, the shaft breaks right away.
In fact, it broke the day it arrived—or did I break it?
Since motorcycles only use small diameters, this size is probably the best fit.
A must-see for dimpling enthusiasts—they come in triangular and oval shapes too.
Dimple Dies & Hole Flare Tools
Unlike standard dimpling, these are quite awkward to use, but depending on how you think about it, they could be fun tools for all sorts of creative applications.
I hardly ever use it, but I have this one too.
Mittler Bros. 12 inch Planishing Hammer
When shaping aluminum sheet, having one might make a real difference.
There are other tools too, but in countries where serious DIY is popular, these kinds of tools have trickled down to the consumer level, which means they’re reasonably priced and easy to get.
The English-speaking world really does operate on a different scale. We’re truly grateful for it.
There are all sorts of other tools out there, so I think it’s fun to browse around at night.
Please take a look and use it as a reference (*’ω’*)
