I have several Kamasa tools which were made/bought when they were being
produced in Japan (or so I believe) and they are every bit the equal of
Snap-On or Britool.

If they're 25-30 years old and branded as Kamasa "Texans", then peel the
sticker off the box and read where it has "Snap-on" stamped into it, who
were who actually made them for the US-market. A set of these were my
first Snap-ons.
