I love Koken tools. I mostly use them on the small and hard to reach stuff because the low back drag and compact size of the zeal stuff absolutely shines in those situations. Interior and dash work my Koken is the go to stuff for me. You brought up a great point on the nut grip sockets.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for sharing!

CP’s tool reviews are the real deal, no shillin’ - just facts.

[@CPthetooladdict]

My birdseed is low lol

[@richardgoldschrafe4747]

I have had a couple of the ko-ken spring loaded gripper sockets (10 and 13mm) in 1/4 drive swivel. They have saved me time on many occasions. In those sizes they have held up well.

[@baja-automotive]

I have a co-work that swears by the Ko-Ken sockets and the magnet sockets. Instead of paper in the socket I use Glad "Press'n Seal" wrap. The thickness is perfect and the plastic is grippy and sticky; and it's compatible with every socket and swivel.

[@markm0000]

I’ll get some and try it. Thanks

[@CPthetooladdict]

Good call seems like a decent way to avoid spending the extra cost on these tools also!!

Hello CP & HENRY: Thank you CP for bringing out the + & - of these Ko Ken griping sockets. You have always said the right tool for the required job at hand. All you need is the money to get all the tools you will ever need & the ability to find them if & when you need them.. God Bless & my best to Henry. TMP from N.J. 🙏.

CP is in my KZbin apocalypse draft team for his tool collection alone. 😂

[@CPthetooladdict]

Lmao true story 🤣

[@danw1089]

I work in a body shop and the magnetic ones are cool til all the metal shavings make them useless anyways

[@CPthetooladdict]

Agree Definitely a pain as I pointed out as well!!

[@jordanshara3244]

I definitely recommend using the nut grippers to take stuff off. For example if I'm trying to reach a bolt or nut on an engine that cant be gotten from the engine bay, like on some V engines because of the angle, the nut grippers on a long extension either between the frame and body, or wheel well work great, so that once the bolt or nut is loosened completely it doesn't fall out of the socket upon retrieval.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for sharing

[@warrenblanchard889]

What’s up my brother!! Thanks for your time and knowledge, tell Henry hello

[@CPthetooladdict]

Absolutely, my friend. I certainly hope you and the family and Gizmo are doing well!!

[@jwctech]

Good timing on the video....all valid points and appreciate the heads up on the extension..was definitely surprised it broke, but hopefully the warranty is smooth...✌️💯🇺🇸

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. How is Henry? Much love and RESPECT brother

[@EdAtoZ]

CP, Another problem with the detent is some shelf tamping screws have tapper side walls their not parallel to the shank.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Very good observation as well!!

[@EdAtoZ]

@@CPthetooladdict CP, What do you think of Ko-ken surface drive sockets ?

[@MarzNet256]

Koken stuff rocks.

[@CPthetooladdict]

It certainly does

[@davidwalle5025]

Good points about speciality sockets. I use masking tape and or monkey boogers but will be getting some ko-ken for hex sockets. Keep the videos with comments coming

[@CPthetooladdict]

Great tip!

[@MostGenericUser]

I used to want the nut grips but after watching this video I now realize that the magnetic sockets make a lot more sense. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on them. Think I might get some cornwell ones instead now.

[@CPthetooladdict]

If you are on a budget definitely something to consider!!

[@peterchristlieb]

Hey brother! Another factor is dirt and trash. You really notice it with magnetic nutsetters in 1/4” and 5/16”. A magnetic socket is great with clean parts and new stuff but in a dirty environment, the nut grips win, they don’t attract trash

[@CPthetooladdict]

Absolutely 💯

[@jameslewis1175]

Every tool has its use

[@CPthetooladdict]

That's what my gf keeps saying!! Lol

[@GerardoVw1]

Those sockets would be nice to remove and install torque converter nuts

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again CP Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I 'm glad you did this video. I have been considering the Koken Nut Grip Sockets in 12-point SAE. As a Aircraft Mechanic most of my hardware is 12-point SAE. Although, there is some 6-point hardware. Again thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊

[@CPthetooladdict]

Right on same to you and your family!!

[@johanaoliveros8432]

Hi, I can see in your tool drawer some things about Toolganizer! Nice 👍

[@CPthetooladdict]

Cool, thanks

[@yban4452]

I can’t afford snap on atm and koken Black Friday deal help me buy my first professional set socket and they do look like jewelry 😅

[@harveysmith100]

Stick with Koken, you will never be disappointed

[@gtcam723]

Project Farm was the only test channel that I’ve seen pay attention to back drag. A while back I picked a Craftsman Overdrive ratchet out of curiosity. Man, that thing has so much back drag you practically drag a truck with it. Worst. Back drag. Ever.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Great point!

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

Helo from Wisconsin brother!! Id like to try a set of these nut grip units.. i can see where it would be nice instead of using plactic or paper in a socket or whatever.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Wish everyone could try them and see what I mean!!

[@carracer48]

Great input, might need a set for stainless when I can’t use my snap magnetics.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Good call!

[@joealf4550]

I have the 10mm koken nut grip i use it for the passthrew seal on Detroit diesels on the number 6 cylinder in a blind spot

[@jordanshara3244]

But when installing the same nut or bolt I do switch to a regular socket to complete tightening after starting it with the nut grip

[@CPthetooladdict]

Makes sense!!

[@chrxx4327]

Hey CP, im curious why you feel you cant use these to apply nuts and bolts. I've had no problem with that but im only using them with a hand tool or cordless ratchet. One downsize to the nutgrip is that its not impact rated. But an advantage I found to them is there is a much deeper cut out in the koken nutgrips compared to a shallow magnetic impact socket. This means if you need a shallow socket, youre more likely to be able to fit a fastener in the koken socket compared to the shallow magnetic sockets.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I explained this and demonstrated it in the video. The resistance is a pain. Why would you want to use them when you have to force the socket onto the nut?

[@chrxx4327]

@@CPthetooladdict ah ok, well sometimes that's a positive thing. You get feed back that you're on the fastener in a completely blind scenario. Sometimes that's annoying and makes it harder to remove. Depends on the situation. I agree with you though, really the best is two have both the nut grip sockets and magnetic sockets.

[@sagedeboer5511]

Only koken tool I have is a 4” socket that I got when I bought some used big impact sockets. Wouldn’t mind trying some of it but I don’t buy much stuff new truth be told especially if Im not 100% I need or will like it. Would have to run into a deal on it the wild

[@jocool562]

Worth it.

[@harveysmith100]

Sorry CP, for a moment I swear I heard you say you have too many wrenches. So did you utter the words, "I have too many tools.?" You know the rules, you can never have too many tools.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Lol you got me!!

[@happygarage6310]

I don't have either. They're a bit of a luxury item in my eyes. Not saying they aren't useful, but after being 20 years into my career without them, I'd rather put that money elsewhere, however little money it is.

[@JP-ri1wf]

Good video. I mean, you could just use paper, but electrical tape or any tape in the socket would be better. Problem solved for much cheaper than Snap-On and the grippers.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I've been doing that for years, and it sucks compared to this. But if you had actually watched the video, you would have heard me say that.

[@plunge85]

A breaker bar is strong as hell, but the back drag is terrible 😂

[@CPthetooladdict]

Lmao sure is

[@zappa6366]

be good to see you make a video on other Ko-ken tools and compare them to tool truck brands. Based on your experience with Ko-ken ratchets, spanners, screwdrivers etc compared to the more well known brands like Snap on, Mac and so on. thanks.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Great suggestion!
