Japanese Tool Source

I was looking for a small prybar/nail puller to put in the first aid kits I keep in my car and to have "just in case" - just in case you had to pry open a car door or break glass I happened upon a wreck or for emergencies, like needing to break into a building to escape a band of angry marauders, which is isn't a stretch, considering all of the out control protests which seem to be everywhere these days.

Anyway, and my whole point here was that while looking for recmmendations for a quality pry bar, I found a closed thread where a poster showed an Estwing Prybar at Lowe's that was actually a Japanese Dogyu. Another commented other lengths were made in Taiwan.

I went looking for Dogyu and found Hida Tool that's based in San Fran and is all imported Japanese tools and thought I would share for the tool nerds out there. 😁
