My friend is going to Japan in a few weeks and could buy me a few locally produced hand tools. Can you please recommend a ratchet screwdriver that takes 1/4" hex bits and a pair of wire strippers (not sure if "manual" or "automatic")? I could budget up to $100 in total for these. I looked around and saw a general recommendation for products by Anex, Engineer, Vessel; are they the best to look at for these tools at this price point?
Also, is there any other made in Japan hand tool I should get while I have the chance? I know, very broad question. If it narrows it down a little, I don't work any trades and live in Europe in an apartment, but like to do things around the "house".
Thanks for any tips!
