Yamoto is one of Cromwell’s exclusive brands, offering professional-grade hand tools with a strong focus on high-polish finishes and technical performance. The range is centred on mechanics’ essentials, particularly sockets and spanners made from high-grade chrome vanadium steel with an aluminium-free construction, making them suitable for non-sparking applications. Yamoto tools incorporate practical innovations, such as Side-Drive® bi-hexagon sockets that reduce stress and wear on fasteners while meeting recognised standards and maintaining competitive pricing for professional workshops and mobile mechanics.
The brand stands out through its attention to detail in features that support working professionals, including mirror-polished finishes for easier cleaning, ball-retaining grooves on socket drives for secure connections, and ergonomic Tri-Line™ screwdriver handles that improve torque and comfort. The product line extends from socket sets and combination spanners to complete tool kits, supplied with protective storage solutions such as plastic wallets or powder-coated steel toolboxes. While not backed by the same extensive warranties as Kennedy, Yamoto provides technically capable, durable tools at accessible prices, making it an attractive option for automotive technicians and maintenance engineers seeking reliable daily-use equipment without premium costs.
