I've had many, many conversations about Japanese stuff. Yes, the quality did improve. Now very few things are made in Japan, they assemble most of their cars, ATVs and motorcycles here and you really can't find any tools made there, VERY FEW electronics even. I've heard stories that young Japanese even have a hard time finding work now, the only ones who have it good are the older ones who had stock in the big companies and retired. Japan is almost in the same boat as us.

Absolutely not. Wich tells me those are rare specialty tools, probably very expensive.

Yeah, and I've tried to read the operator's manuals on the Stars. Not fun. Glad it's not my headache to try and interpret the interpretation on those either. That's Charlie D's job.
