Buy 12, one for each month of the year. Because 10mm has commitment issues and walks out after about a month. Lol

Made in Japan, not US. I have their 3/8" impact"Attack" driver [kokenusa.com], and it's excellent. Would like to see a Project Farm of it going against the tool truck brands as I suspect it may beat them.

Ko-ken is quite well known among professionals, but they are more of a higher end and pricier niche brand vs Harbor Freight (Pittsburgh, ICON, Quinn). I would compare Ko-Ken against HFT's ICON line and not their lower rent Quinn line. Ko-Ken is also definitely less well known than Snap-On, MAC, Matco and Gearwrench with the general public. That said, 2024 is their 75th anniversary, so they've been around for quite a long time.

There are a ton of reviews online - just search "Koken review" on YouTube and you'll find a seemingly endless choice of dudes yapping about Ko-Ken ratchets and sockets.

One last note - I have a bunch of Ko-Ken sockets, but I usually buy Ko-Ken's specialty sockets and not their "basic" lines. I have a set of their ultra compact Zeal line sockets and a full set of their Surface Drive deep well sockets as well as some singleton Nut Grabber sockets.

The real question: Does the lifetime warranty cover lost 10mm sockets?
Only if you send a nice note explaining the situation, $12 + shipping, they'll be happy to warranty your lost socket.

$3.44 for a single 1/2" drive socket is a deal? Serious question, not trolling. I've never heard of this brand and I could get a big name brand for that kind of money. I could also buy Quinn and save about 80% while still having a lifetime warranty.
Post a link of a typical "big name" brand 1/2" socket for $3.44 or less. Crapsman? Not at my nearest Lowes.
I've only ordered once from Koken, for specialty hex bits that I couldn't find anywhere else. Their whole tool sets are out of my pay grade, but I won't question their quality, especially compared to the flea market stuff from the likes of Harbor "Fright".

In for 365 one for each day of the year. I'll still end up losing them all by next month.

I highly recommend koken to anyone starting out building a new toolkit. The tools made by koken are of high quality and their zeal line up has zero play in sockets and ratchets they grab onto fasteners with perfect fit , no more rounded bolts and fasteners. . The only 4 tool brands i use from japan are koken, nepros, vessel and lobster tools.
10 mm goes missing when a person is careless. I have never had a missing socket.
You were doing so well, until the last two sentences.

I'm too lazy to google but what are the recommend sockets to change the spark plugs on a Subaru H6 ?
Hope you were joking, but you might have got me with Poe's Law. You could have typed less words than that into google with the same effort. This is SD, not LMGTFY. Wink

Have had the same toolkit for like 10 years, and like you said no missing pieces.

Luckily for these companies, there's a bunch of losers (pun intended) who can't keep track of their stuff.
The reason for missing 10 mm sockets joke is because it is such a common size. If you wrench enough, you'll likely drop it eventually. If you drop it on the ground, it can roll under something and disappear. If you work on cars, there's a million places it can fall in to. You won't lose it if it just stays in the case.

Hope you can find something comparable with free shipping on one socket.

Quote from Coconutz0311 :
Same question. I haven't heard of this brand before. Always interested in finding out about good us made tools though. Especially on sale.
Tools from Ko-Ken are 3-5 grades higher than the most expensive you have heard of. The tool steel from Ko-Ken is of exceptional quality and fitment is impeccable, I have a few tools from them over the years that were collected when affordable, now is that time. On the other hand, nothing wrong in using hand tools from HF, as we call know their warranty is phenomenal and the tools last as well when not abused.
