Haha yes I haven"t seen a single post about the Toyota grease gun with grease in it xD
I definitely like to collect Toyota tools with the goal to create myself a complete trail/travel toolbox, that's why I bought this model, less expensive/rare than the stepped one (and smaller and cartridge compatible).
Same for all tools actually, I like the vintage ones but if they are too rare/expensive to be used without care I simply buy the modern Toyota tools. Or I buy already beaten one like my Toyota Motors box, so I have no scrupule to bang it around full of tools
(not up to date but that gives an idea)
Yep I saw them on Ebay but they were coming from China and with an expensive price to cover free shipping that seem a great option here from the UK, thanks !@flx
Maybe the bellows type cartridges are a standard?

Hey, really great information, thank you for putting together. Do you sell these or have access to these hammers? looking for one for our 1980 fj40 that would be of the era.Toyota Hammer - Part 2
Additional pictures and details of Maruki and OH hammers. Here's a group picture featuring hammers from the beginning through today.
From the top:
- Maruki from the early (23mm, 2-piece, lug wrench) large tool roll
- Three OH hammers, included in the later (21mm, 1-piece, lug wrench) large tool roll
- Early OH - marked 450G and 1, used (OH-a)
- Later OH - marked 1 only, used (OH-b)
- Early OH – marked 450G and 1, unused (OH-c)
- TOYOTA marked OH hammer, service tool, available today
- OH hammer, stainless steel, available today (OH-s)

Maruki Hammers
The early large tool rolls included a Maruki hammer. The hammer is marked with the Maruki logo and MARUKI on one side of the head, and #1 inside a rectangle on the other. The Maruki logo is a circle, bisected by 1 vertical line, and crossed by 2 horizontal lines. The #1 indicates a 1 pound hammer.
The Maruki hammer pictured has been used. The markings on the head, especially the logo side are worn, but still visible. The handle appears to be original, and is identical to other Maruki hammer handles.
In comparison to the OH hammers, the Maruki handle is longer, and the head somewhat shorter. The Maruki head is slightly tapered, while the OH head is not. The Maruki peen is round; the OH peen is elongated.
OH Hammers
Later rolls had the OH hammer, One Hand is the brand. The logo, an O overlaid with an H is on one side of the head, with JAPAN below in small letters. The other side is marked 450G with 1 below, or just 1, indicating 450 grams or 1 pound. Both the JAPAN and 1 marks can be very faint and difficult to see. It appears the 450G marking was removed around 1969. The JAPAN mark was removed later, and does not appear on current OH hammers.
Three OH tool roll hammers are pictured above. Two are lightly used, the other is from a tool roll that was never used and packed away with most of the tools still wrapped in plastic.
Two contemporary OH hammers are pictured. One is the Toyota service tool, the other a stainless steel OH hammer. In comparison to the earlier OH hammers, the diameter of the head is larger and the striking edge of the head is beveled. Both the OH and 1 marks are much more distinct on the newer hammers, even when compared to unused tool roll hammer (OH-c).
Very early OH hammers have a noticeably larger logo, and the head (except for the ball peen and poll) is painted black. These hammers are found in early (1963-65) Large Tool Rolls 21mm.
Some OH hammers are also marked on the handle, TRADE OH-logo MARK. I have only seen these as individual tools, not as part of a Toyota tool kit.
Refurbishing Hammers
Tool roll hammers may have condition issues even if they were not subject to heavy use. Especially if stored in damp tool rolls, rusty heads and damaged/grimy handles are not uncommon. With a little effort, they do clean up nicely. Remove rust with a hand brush and polish with Simichrome or similar polish. Fine steel wool and a light touch will remove layers of accumulated grime from the handle. Polish with Renaissance Wax or similar to help protect the wood.

TOYOTA HAMMER SUMMARY
Summarizing the characteristics of large tool roll and contemporary hammers.
View attachment 902570
thanks! Also looking for adjustable wrench.Is this is a late FJ40 tool roll? I found it with a late model 2 ton jack. Can anyone confirm and possibly show me what would have comprised the kit. It could be early 4 runner as my family had a few back in the day.
Does not look like an FJ40 tool roll to me.

@Braden620 , never could determine exactly what vehicles those black vinyl rolls came from, but they aren't Land Cruiser. Check out page 2 & 3 of this thread. Late model 40s came equipped with the zippered tool bag and tools pictured there. Those were the last iterations of 40 series tool kits, well, because the 40 series ended also .
.So it took me a long time but I'm finally there and owe a return.
I tried to contact Yamada Europe about buying MMG80 in Europe, they were very nice and said it was possible through my local distributor. I quickly got contacted by the French distributor (which is not doing only Yamada products and more specialized in everything related to heavy pumping and agricultural instruments) which seemed that he could get some for me (by box of 30 pieces) but it quickly blocked because they only work with companies and are not allowed to sell to an individual.
The guy was friendly and we chat a little, as he told me to try to find some on merchant sites I exposed him that the closest merchant selling this product was in Japan and that I was surprised the KH-120 can be easily found on web merchants and Ebay but not the cartridges that goes in. He told me that he only sold this kind of cartridges once in 2006 and never sold a KH-120.
Anyway at this point I took the simple solution and I ordered a box of 30 pieces from amazon.co.jp. Cost was around ~75€ for the box and shipping 30~35€ so not horribly expensive per piece (except that now I have supplies for a decade of greasing). And I took the opportunity to order a few goodies from Vessel, KTC and Engineer
If someone in Europe needs a few of them don't hesitate to contact me I can arrange that at cost+shipping.

you have a good solution here. I have a few of them myself as a person here in US was also doing same as you. They say they are also hand fillable if you run out (in a decadeSo it took me a long time but I'm finally there and owe a return.

)So, time has finally came to use the grease gun and it looks promising
But surprise, I was so focused on the cartridge that I miss this little detail:
Yes it should have something to screw the cartridge but it seems that only the modern Yamada KH-120 have it, like that:
Looking at my grease gun and to pictures of the KH-120 for days when I was looking for cartridge I was persuaded that my Toyota one also had the screw mount but that was a mirage.
Good news is the cartridge is still working without the screw mount, as the surface is not flat and has a bump the grease can exit the cartridge when pressed and find its way to the tip. It even ends not that messy (but still more than if I could screw it):

And off course some action shots
It really needs a flexible tip to be able to access all the zerks, the shortness of this model helps a little but still a pain in some places. With the bigger Toyota grease gun and rigid tip that must be even harder, not sure how Mr. T was expecting user to be able to use it everywhere.

Let's continue on the tools
You can't have most of them as "Toyota Motor" (except the engine adjust kit) but most of them are still available in "Toyota" version. I was able to build myself this complete toolbox only with tools ordered from Toyota by the partnumber.
(toolbox itself being obviously vintage)
(Grease gun showed for display purposes but vintage and not carried in the toolbox)
The few things still inside the toolbox in this photo are tools not sold by Toyota:
- 17, 19, 21, 24mm sockets in 3/8" from KTC (Toyota sell them in 1/2" only)
- Crimp tool from Facom
- 13mm wrench from Facom (as much as you try to avoid like plague 13mm head bolt, if you live in Europe you will always end up finding one)
Don't worry the, original to the truck, vintage tools still are where they should in the original bag:

Let's continue with this new Toyota Loomwork box that came to me from @dmamj =)
Here with its big sister, my Toyota Motor toolbox.
My plan was to use this box to carry small spare parts, nuts&bolts, small electrical stuff, etc. All things that up to now were loose in bags inside my big spare part box and not practical to access, search and use.
It's not finish but here is my first try of arrangement of the box:
1: various M4 and M5 screws, bolts and nuts.
2: various M6 screws, bolts, nuts and washers.
3: various M8 screws, bolts, nuts and washers of all kinds.
4: various M10 bolts, nuts and washers.
5: 2 grade8 M12 bolts (with their nut and washers) coming from the pintle, various plugs for diffs and transmission, plug's gasket for everything (engine gasket still in plastic bag as it's rubber).
6: 6 wheel stud (1 complete wheel), 10 wheel nuts (because because), 4 transmission bolts/washers/nuts (1 complete flange)
7: Hose clamps of all kinds and sizes, cotter pins, few random things.
9: 15A & 20A fuses (the only one needed on my FJ40), bullet connectors (male, female & double female), spades, red&black wires in 2 gauges (chosen to not take bi-colors wire because that makes quickly too many to carry and this is only for a road fix).
8&10 containers + 1 open arrangement are still empty and will have to find what goes there.
Sockets: 27mm, 29mm and 3/8"->1/2" adapter + a bumper which best feature is to wedge everything in place but who knows.
Technically the sockets would be more suited in the toolbox but, 29mm does not fit is the TM toolbox. 27mm perfectly fit at the biggest space (so would kind of better wedge all sockets in place) but would need to remove 1 or 2 other sockets to have the space (currently have 8 to 24mm in the toolbox, scroll up a few posts to see my toolbox arrangement). 27 and 29 are also my only 1/2" sockets so it makes sense to have them together.
I also have the big tools like the filter socket and the 1/2" breaker bar in the big spare part box but 27 and 29mm are not big enough for this box xD
Oh and off course all the hardware presented is OEM Toyota except gold bolts (which are from Overland Metric) and electrical connectors and wires.

Was up for a tire rotation today and it seems my front wheels got quite over torqued when installed 2 years ago...
Toyota 1/2" breaker bar (40cm long), Toyota 1/2" inch extension, Toyota 1/2"->3/8" adapter and KTC 21mm socket.
That breaker bar and extension are really beefy, no lightweight here... bought them to complement my complete 3/8" kit in heavy torque cases like this...
I guess I should I have also bought the Toyota 1/2" inch 21mm socket...
Look how twisted the extension is! Originally the 2 squares are aligned.
Finally I used my Toyota Motor wheel nut wrench included in the original kit and was able to get those nuts (with the help of a long pipe...) without bending or breaking. Why looking further?
The nut was burning hot... quite some forces applied there.
