Back in the 50s Japanese stuff was much like the Chinese products of today, poor quality junk. The Japan finally clawed it's way out of the war time restrictions and got back to making top quality stuff.
My main ratchet and socket set is a Japanese set with the Fuller brand. I bought is when I was 16 and got my 1960 VW bug. The ratchet has never failed, and never needed a rebuild. The chrome on the ratchet head is worm off from being set down on concrete a few zillion times. I did break the chrome 14 mm socket with my impact, but that was just abuse from the idiot behind the impact wrench that was too lazy to go to the tool box and get the impact socket.
I have a couple of Koken tools. Good product.
