KTC has put November on the calendar for renewing three professional tool-set families. Its October 20 announcement lists 438, 386 and 333 pieces respectively, with red, black and silver versions of each. These are planned November introductions; a catalog listing does not confirm that a set is shipping now.
Storage is part of the specification
KTC describes dedicated trays throughout the sets and size identification made by laser engraving. It also describes a tray arrangement in which pressing one end of a tool raises the other for removal. These are the maker’s design descriptions; we have not measured time savings or safety outcomes.
For a concrete price reference, the official catalog lists the 438-piece SK8702R at ¥1,450,000 before tax. That is a reference retail price rather than a verified transaction price. Confirm the exact set contents and delivery schedule before ordering.
Automotive roots
KTC’s history dates its founding in Kyoto to 1950 and records adoption of its tools for Toyota’s onboard kits that year. That history helps explain the automotive connection, but does not establish the manufacturing location of every component in the forthcoming sets.
