It wasn't that long ago that most American tool users didn't even know what Koken tools were. Thats all changed now, mainly due to the internet is my guess.
That's really nice. I had to weld a 3/8-1/4" adapter to a cheap tap collet a few months back in order to reach a stripped out manifold stud. If only I had one of these in my drawer....
@@BrandoDamo I'd need to get the 1/2" drive because I tap to 16mm often enough. Japanese hand tools are always quality and nice design. 👍 I really like how these grip the tap tightly.
Nice, I'll probably get those. I love a indent in the middle of a sliding T, especially in the 3/8 & 1/2" drive sizes. In 1/2" u can make a hefty spinner with some weight behind it.
Tell ya what I use it for a lot. The tanks at the factories here use top mount pumps...like a truck or old land cruncher. I use that spinner to remove the mount plate bolts. Most would grab an impact but the whole vibration thing is wrong. Once you get the hang of it they're plenty fast with that. Like having an engine on an engine stand, oil pan, valve covers. Works old shcool. Remember speeders ? Breaker bars ? Yup. All day

These open up a lot of use case possibilities!

Koken has some interesting spinner t-handle type things too. I have one, but I’ll probably get the bigger lug nut one sometime.
Yeah they have the older lug nut one and the new one with black section in handle. That spins nice, expensive....but very nice.

I've got a 6 x 3/8 Ko-ken T spinner that a beefy thing. Same knurl as the 24 tooth ratchet handles Top Notch
I’ve got the same one!
Do you know if they sell them in 1/4" too?
I don’t believe so
Do they have a size 0 tap holder?
I don’t believe so
ハイネイティブからきたしゃけです。よろしくおねがいします。
Also note that the t handle bar is an oval instead of being perfectly round. So your shank doesn't rotate around the axis of the handle.
It’s another great design detail that shows Koken’s thoughtfulness!
