Watanabe and Itoshin are the two suppliers, and most of the tools which =
we have
seen called "Yamaha" tools here in the <st1:country-region =
w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> are simply tools from =
these
suppliers, sold by Yamaha.<br>
<br>
The yen usually runs 105 to the dollar these days. This shows a =
rather
weak US dollar right now - the yen is often over 120:1.<br>
