Koken screwed up! Priced too low.

Unboxing the Koken 72 tooth ratchet. One of the best ratchets you can buy.

Be careful, that ratchet seems cheap, but it’s the gateway tool into the Koken world. the price shoots up dramatically when you go for the flex heads. I really love this tool company and my only regret is not getting into them sooner.

[CPthetooladdict]

That was great blowing on it genius now I want to see if what others can do!! Thanks for the shout-out fantastic video. I'm so excited to see others feel like they got a great purchase!!

Your definitely gonna love it. I bought the same one for like 40 bucks. Used it once and ran out and bought the long handle flex. Then grabbed the 3/8 drive flex head on a 1/4 body and its freakin tiny. Absolutely love all 3. Koken 100% rivals snap on ratchets

That ratchet paired with the z series extensions and sockets has very little play between the anvil and the socket even when using multiple extensions daisy chained together. It's really designed to be used with the Z series tools because of the way the fit holds the socket snug against the ratchet. There's no torsional slop between the anvil and the socket either. It's snug in all degrees of freedom. So you're combining the lowest backdrag ratchet in the industry with most precise fitting extensions and sockets for arguably the best total packages in the world. I wouldn't use them for high torque applications though because of the thin and tiny construction plus the lack of a stress relief chamfer at the base of the anvil.

For the koken tools I've purchased have no disappointment in them

[charlesshankle]

Koken has priced it right for now. If they had a supply and support chain like the tool trucks, then I would be comfortable using it as a workhorse. As it is, it would be a phenomenal low clearance ratchet, spark plugs, etc.

Instead of saying "let's test this ratchet out on a car" you should say: "well guys it's time for a tool demo" and then show it being used on a vehicle, just a thought

[chud]

Mine came today and it's extra noice! I instantly ordered a bunch more koken stuff.

[PowerStrokeJude]

I have that ratchet, I actually have that ratchet with a metric socket set in foam and I really like it

[NutsandBoltswithTone]

Koken is an awesome tool brand. Ratchets are awesome. You should try the nut grip sockets.

[peterchristlieb]

Koken is outstanding! I like mine better that my Nepros and they’re quite a bit cheaper to boot!

[vicpetrishak]

The weight of a 3/8” ratchet should place no impotence at all !

Prices over the past couple of months have ranged from high 30's to low 60's. I was lucky and caught it on a dip at $41. At least $13 less then the next lowest price I could find online. Ads are sometimes confusing b/c the sellers are sometimes posting pics of the older 36 tooth, yet the model #'s match the newer 72 tooth version. Nice addition, and looking forward to getting more...

Koken did not mess up and under price this ratchet. Bank of Japan messed up and bought too many US treasuries. YEN is at all time lows. Bank of Japan is now going to unwind those U.S. treasury purchases and realize massive losses. This goes way beyond auto mechanic tools.

[darrenporsch]

It's a great deal because the exchange rate is high now The dollar's worth a lot compared to the end

[davehaggerty]

I have Koken’s flex 72T 3/8 ratchets in regular and long.
I may need the non-flex 3/8 regular length at that price.
Just to round out my collection.
Koken makes the best 3/8” ratchets. The 72T just have not been out long enough to prove themselves.

[branned]

I like my Koken but their warranty sucks.

[salmanslim]

Which amazon seller did you get it from ujc mart or amazon international?

[SnabbKassa]

I think it's more that the US dollar is now really strong.

[brianblithe]

For American i would look at Stanley Proto, think they are still made US.
