I have been trying out Koken Tools for the last 3 years now and impressed with them. Wanted to try a new tool brand 3 years ago, one was Koken which is a Japanese tool company. Looked into them and checked them out. First purchases were a couple ratchets and the wobble plus extensions which I love. They were first before Snap On came out with the wobble plus. Came out with them first, had a patent on it which did run out and Snap On copied the design after the patent ran out. Have added more to it, more ratchets and sockets. I even got a couple co workers to buy them, tried a couple of my Koken ratchets out and they loved them. Two were the very smooth back drag and size of the head of the ratchets. Finally I did get my first sets of Cat Tools which are a copy of Snap On with the cheaper price and like them. These came in last week. Bought four 3/8 drive sets in chrome to replace my older Craftsman sets. Two are the deep and shall in Metric, 8mm to 19mm also the SAE sets in deep and shallow. I have a Cat account at my local Caterpillar dealership I buy from
