Is there any difference between the Tomita and Nisaku brands of this tool?

The blade is exactly the same on both. I have one of each so I know. The only difference is the handle (plastic vs wood) and the sheath that comes with the tool

I did not find any difference other than the packaging and directions in japanese. I think it boils down to the fact that the American model is discontinued

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.

I'd say do not buy either one!! The 16ga I bought was a piece of junk!! Jambed every 4-5 nails and it is not easy to clear. Took it to a repair shop and they charged me more than half of what I paid for it!! JUNK. Buy a MAX nailer and forget about Hitachi. You have been warned.

I don't know the difference. If you are wanting cutting tools, stay away fromantic dremel. The sanding discs and other attachments wear out too quickly and are way to expensive.

The difference is the extra tools included. I've used all of them and am glad to have the right tool for the job.

No comparison. The Northern Tool has a high quality American made pump. Check the components on the Harbor Freight. Get Serious! They're not even in the same league.

Different models. I believe that they were made at the same time...classic Makita blue or the new "stylish" black and white. These are great drill/driver combos. Check out reviews and such at ProudlyBuilt.com

Mine says "Made in Japan." Wonderful tool! Takes the place of a toolshed's population of this and that. Wouldn't be without mine!

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716. well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare.

Since I own both, I compared the two, and found that they are the same size...but I could NOT find the numbers you refer to...the 001 and 060...anywhere on the package. I wondered about the blades, even though they appeared to be the same side-by-side, but looking at the replacement blades on Amazon (AccuSharp 3036-2024 Knife Sharpener Replacement Blades), they are meant for ALL Accusharp products. Aslo, I looked at ConsumerSearch website and both tools are lumped together in a description. I bought both to have one inside the house near where I cook (blue hand guard), and obviously one outside in the garage where the gardening tools are (green hand guard). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product in the kitchen as it sharpens quickly and very well; I originally bought it because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and I am an aficionado of most anything they do or review or recommend. Now, can I please get back to cooking?

actually I have used both, I went back to Makita because they seem to stay sharp much longer so I use less blades. The Irwin tools aluminum cutting blade is durable for that type (aluminum) metal.

same drill but the Z in the model number refers to the bare tool version. The other version comes with batteries and charger and such. If you already have Makita batteries and chargers from other kits you purchased and you do not have a need for more, then this is the way to go. However, I have been using this drill so far and I do not like it compared to the older version. This one looks new and shorter but does not feel likes its very powerful. It could be my older batteries though.

For one thing, according to the Hida Tool Co, the Seki Edge Deluxe Toe Nail Clipper (SS-102) has a Chrome-coated carbon steel cutting blade, whereas the Seki Edge Stainless Steel Toe Nail Clipper (SE-2/SS-107) has a tempered stainless steel blade. Also, as of Nov 9, 2014 on Amazon, the Deluxe (SS-102) cost $9.70 but the SE-2/SS-107 cost $17.

Christopher, I asked a professional Gardner yesterday about the horizon-horizon. He said his crew uses the Tomita brand. It does the job for them. Decided to add this on to my former reply. Good luck.

The difference is mostly in the materials, the Kenko's are nicely made with metal parts while others are lighter and have more plastic. If your not taking the extension tubes on and off a lot or not going to use them much the cheaper ones will do, if your wanting quality and a smooth working parts, get the Kenko's, they are nice.

The only difference I could see was the accessories. The N/8 comes with shop-oriented accessories and the PT forces you to purchases the accessories you need for your type and size dog. Since we purchased the tool for a small dog, I bought a pack of the smallest sanding bands which worked out great!
