With Koken,warranty is void if bought on Amazon Japan.Have to buy them from authorized dealers. Koken was the first for the wobble plus,Snap On copied it after the patent Koken put on them expired.Milwaukee,some are fakes bought on Amazon including the batteries
OK ya that's what I thought with the koken Extensions and snap on. Thanks for the clarification. And ya it's usually pretty easy to find the fakes of the milwaukee on amazon. So as long as you know what your looking for, you can usually still get a great deal. And ya they have so many fake milwaukee batteries on amazon it's ridiculous lol. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts
@@TonyTheTechnician Found out one Matco tool dealer in Mississippi did send out one of those fake Milwaukee batteries for repair and Milwaukee did not warranty it for this reason
@TonyTheTechnician No he did not,customer told him he bought it on Amazon.Even Country Mile Garage got burned once,bought some on EBay supposily real and they were fakes.He seen it right away
@@cybergrindin Yea. The engagement on the socket is much better when you're using the Kokens as a standard extension. That's my personal opinion tho. Always been a firm believer of paying up for tools. $100 is nothing in the tool world especially if you wrench professionally like I do.
@@cybergrindin The Capri aren't bad. I'm sure you'd be satisfied with them. One thing to note tho. The Kokens shafts are slightly thinner. Makes getting into tight spots easier.
@@cybergrindinI think many people would still be very happy with the Capri set. They are nice and they did a good job on them. But the koken just have a better retention of the socket. They are definitely high end Extensions. And worth it if you would be using them alot
They have a lot of fakes. But you can usually spot the fakes pretty easily as long as you know what your looking for and look at the reviews. Most of the time it's the batteries that are the fakes. But it's always best to research as much as possible before purchasing
Hello again, Tony Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching tonight's video. I like the Koken Extension's set. I am going to have to wait until I get over buying the M12 combo kit. Again thank you 👌
@@TonyTheTechnician Tony, I wish I had your energy. Once I get done with the Nasty (Cutting Grass). Son, I am done. But it's done and now I get to watch a thunder storm. And enjoy the rest of the weekend 😌
Ya it's definitely a better deal to buy it with the batteries never buy the bare tool from the big name store. It's like 20 or 30 dollars more and you get batts and a charger.

@Toolaholic7 haha ya I'm surprised he even tried to send it to them. Did he not know it was a fake?

The Koken extension set is nice.. Love Koken's knurling..👍
Slowly started upgrading my Capri "wobble plus" extensions to the Koken ones. So much better!
Really? U notice a difference?
I was going to buy the Capris. Is buy once cry once justified in this situation? $100 is a lot to me for extensions

I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about these Milwaukee tools being counterfeit. Same on eBay. Batteries too

Haha thank you! Hope you are having a good weekend!! 👍
@@TonyTheTechnician It's going well so far. And yourself how's it going;))
@georgeferlazzo7936 it was a good weekend, got some yard work done, some camaro work and now relaxing lol
@@TonyTheTechnician Tony, I wish I had your energy. Once I get done with the Nasty (Cutting Grass). Son, I am done. But it's done and now I get to watch a thunder storm. And enjoy the rest of the weekend 😌
Hahaha yard work was Friday morning, camaro work Saturday day and Sunday relax lol. I try not to over work myself 🤣👍
yes koken was the original og
That's what I thought. Thank you!!
I want to get into koken tools but outside of my price range. I plan to visit Japan and see how many tools I can get through customs.
Ya the prices are definitely a little higher but ya if you go to Japan that would be an awesome way to get some nice tools
Nice bro 👍
Thank you!! 👍
You chevy Colorado looks very nice with the winch bumper
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Can anyone find a 1/4” koken wobble+ on amazon?
The Milwaukee drill comes up at $68.99 for me????????????
The combo price when on sale with the batteries is a better deal at Home Depot
Ya it's definitely a better deal to buy it with the batteries never buy the bare tool from the big name store. It's like 20 or 30 dollars more and you get batts and a charger.
The prices fluctuate alot on these but almost always a good price. 69 is still a good price
