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.

Every year during Christmas I buy a bunch of these for my local mechanic and put them in a stocking, and if he's been a "bad boy" that year, i'll give it to his wife to hang on the tree after he goes to sleep.

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.

$3.44 for a single 1/4" 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.

Same question. I haven't heard of this brand before. Always interested in finding out about good us made tools though. Especially on sale.

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 real question: Does the lifetime warranty cover lost 10mm sockets?
