The 1st & only ratchet that I've owned from Ko-ken is the hand or breaker-bar 3/8 with quick release. It has so many possibilities with a 3/8 breaker-bar... Just like the older Snap-On ones that I own. I got 2 from Snap-On & 1 from Ko-ken. Got these from my Dad, who recently passed in Oct 11th 2019. I love Ko-ken! They're awesome! 👍
Fascinating! That clear cover was a brilliant idea to be able to show how the updated tool works. It looks like the power is maintained because even though the teeth are smaller, there are many more teeth engaged on the "power stroke." I like it!
I Love Ko-ken. And a big thanks to Mr Subaru for sharing all his Subaru repair expertise with us all these years. It's much appreciated.
I love Ko-ken! Look forward to their expansion in the US market.
I love Ko-ken! I just ordered the short and long flex. I discovered them back in 2017 and have been slowly collecting ever since. I'm happy to see them gaining some traction is the US. Let's hope they realize their quality and price point is what makes them so attractive.
Can you use the ratchet for loosening a very tight bolt ? Or it will just damage the ratchet ?
I love Ko-Ken! Thank you for doing this review. Always great to get new info on tools that help make the work a little easier.
I just bought a flex head 3/8 z series and I love ko-ken. I love Ko-Ken. The line- profile sockets are nifty too. I’m usually a budget tool buyer, however after seeing some vids of yours I became curious enough take the step up. Thanks for the peer pressure.
That wedging is genius! Has anyone ever done anything like that before? Great video and props!
Snap-on's dual 80 mechanism is similar. But not as robust in size.
I love Ko-Ken!! Amazing tools, puts tool trucks to shame.
Do the z-series ratchets interface well with other brands of sockets?
Do you recommend the z-series sockets over the standard Ko-ken sockets?
Thanks for the awesome videos!
Yes.
Each have their place.
You're welcome!
I love Ko-Ken! I bought a Tone 10mm ratchet Keychain from a D1 event and found it super convenient to have. Gotta love the craftsmanship from Japan!
I Love Ko-ken. Japan just makes the best shit. It’s almost like everything from Japan kicks ass.
I love Ko-ken
Keep the awesome vids coming. Thanks for the opportunity!
I love ko-ken. I also love this channel. I have been a longtime subscriber and subaru owner. Love the content here
I Love Ko-ken. I'm curious to know how it feels compare to Snap-On Dual 80s.
I Love Ko-ken Thank you so much! Super helpful information as always. I just ordered my first set of Koken ratchets the other day
Yes yes yes!! I was so waiting for this review! you have no idea!!
My order from Palmac has been in “awaiting fulfillment” status for days now. Don’t they know that I need my new 72 tooth zeals! 😜
Hopefully they get it shipped soon!
Mine took a while, I ordered early December and they got to me early last week.
Edit: worth the wait. I got the 3/8 in a 1/4 body ratchet.
Not to diss Palmac, but every order I have placed with them, which is not a huge number I admit, even though items show "in stock", they don't actually have them and it takes about a month to ship. I think I've ordered 4 small orders, common sockets ect, and this has happened every time except once. So you'll get the ratchet for sure, but not for a while most likely.
@@ronhansen6506 I’ve had that experience with Frank’s Tools as well, but at least he emails me and let’s me know what’s going on. This is my first order with Palmac. I usually try to just use Amazon Japan since it’s usually so easy and fast.
@@BrandoDamo I'm glad you received your order from Frank's but I haven't been so lucky. Not sure what the holdup is but it's close to three months since my order and nothing yet. I don't know what I purchased that could be taking so long. At the moment I have only received one email from him. Kinda sad I'm having a poor experience. I really would like to try these tools.
I Love Ko-Ken I have the thin socket for subaru spark plugs and the swivel drive they make, awesome stuff
Back in the late 1960s here in New Zealand, I was put onto Koken and have been a fan ever since. My original 1/2 set is still going strong nearly 60 years later, and my son will inherit the set. Glad to see the US has at last discovered this top quality but affordable brand.
I Love Ko-Ken ! I'm always up for trying out new ratchets.
Thanks for all the great Subaru content and the giveaway!
I love Ko-ken
I love Ko-Ken. Best channel for all things Subaru and for tool info.
I Love Ko-ken. They look sweet. Manufacturing quality looks top notch!
I Love Ko-ken! The low back drag is amazing!
Ey Mr subaru. From one sambar owner to another, I'd love to get me a set of jdm tools for my jdm truck haha. Love your videos as always, super informative and helpful. Twice the content, none of the filler.
I Love Ko-Ken
I love ko-ken
Thanks for the info on the prototype. Will 1/4 get the 72 tooth as well?
Be next year, most likely, for the switch on the 1/4 and 1/2.
Very exciting! I was hoping you'd do a video on this when I saw the release teaser on their channel.
I Love Ko-ken
I Love Ko-ken
Bought some z series sockets, u joints and extensions after i saw your first video on them, fantastic tools!
I Love Ko-Ken but I live to far away, great product and great video.Cheers
I love Ko-Ken
I Love Ko-Ken
...started watching your videos earlier this year when I bought a 2004 outback, you helped me get it up and running smooth. Thanks for the videos 👍🏽
You're welcome
What's it like with the warrenty? In worry about that since I work at a dealership and need my tools to make money.
Haven't had to warranty anything, so not sure of the process.
@@MrSubaru1387 it would be interesting to find out
Have you used the ratchets with the clutch packs? I wouldnt try to break nothing loose with them .they do have a big head and a tight swing.
The toothless sprag clutch ratchets like the Snap-on FZERO?
Having a 36-tooth Ko-Ken is nothing like most 36-tooth ratchets. The only thing I can compare it to is my WW2 era Plomb (Proto) ratchet -- it's so smooth that you don't miss having 72 teeth.
I love Ko-Ken! Thanks for all your in depth and clear videos
I love Ko-Ken !!! Can't wait for the 72 tooth to come out. Would be a great addition to my set. Plus I'm a stone throw from you haha
Also I've had snap on craftsman kobalt mac stuff and the drag is really annoying. Especially on hard to reach places. Or having the wrenches have the selector flip or center themselves.
Hmm might have to spend some beans and check out a ratchet and those nut grips
Never heard of them, glad I saw this video.....I will have to check out their products......Again....great video!
I Love Ko-Ken
Thank you so much for your time with the videos & awesome reviews!
I Love Ko-ken. Thanks for doing this giveaway. Always enjoy your videos.
Informative as always. Oh, and I love Ko-ken !
Nice to see a vid about ratchets that recognises the importance (at least as I see it) of back-drag *regardless* of tooth-count - good one, thanks!
(By the way, one of the comments talked about the strength of the higher tooth-count. It's true that they've managed to get these factors to go up in unison, but what I would note is that the effect of dirt and grit getting in the finer mechanism as compared to the bigger, coarser, teeth of the older one is likely to reverse that apparent win-win dramatically!)
I Love Ko-Ken! I've never tried a Ko-Ken tool yet but that z series ratchet looks amazing!
I love Ko-ken , at least I do now, I am going to check em out. I have been looking at getting some upgrades :)
I Love Ko-ken tools. Use the nut grabber sockets and hex swivels at work.
Saw this on IG and was waiting to see when you would cover it lol. 👌
I'm getting some nut gripper sockets from them soon. Great stuff.
I LOVE KO-KEN !!!
I’m definitely enjoy my z-series 3/8 drive sockets
I Love Ko-ken :) Very neat ratchets, I'll have to check them out
I Love Ko-ken ! And I'm subscribed to the Koken USA youtube channel as well!
Nice!
I love Ko-Ken . Cool to see the prototypes from them as well!
I love Ko-Ken! Really looking forward to using some of these tools in the future!vv Hope I can win!
Wow seems like a great tool made better!
I love Ko-Ken! Really looking forward to using some of these tools in the future!
Have you got one of the 72 tooth ratchets for yourself yet? If so, would love to see a video comparing it to the 36 tooth Koken, as well as other tool truck brand high tooth count ratchets.
Yes, I have. It's pretty hard to compare this to anything else!
I Love Ko-Ken. Thanks for the great videos.
I love Ko-ken!! They have some of the best knurling on their tools!!!
Very impressive, thanks for the review. I Love Ko-ken
Thanks for the video. I Love Ko-ken
I have been wanting to get my hands on some of these Japanese tools since I first subscribed! Pick me! I love Ko-ken!
I love Ko-ken
Time to buy more ratchets and some nut-grip sockets.
I love Ko-ken. I have 4 or 5 of the 36T ratchets. They work nice. 72T sounds better yet.
I Love Ko-ken. I wonder if they will take America by storm just like the Japanese vehicles have.
How do I know if it's the 36T or 72T? Does it say anywhere? Thanks
I love Ko-Ken Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I Love Ko-ken! Thanks for the tool advice !
Pretty cool looking mechanism.
I Love Ko-Ken ..
Koken is an awesome brand. I accidentally found them a couple of years ago and with being disabled and having arthritis in my hands the new drive wrenches are going to be a great help. Thanks bro for the info
Where are you from Mr.Subaru ??
South Carolina
@@MrSubaru1387 very nice to finally get a response from someone i follow. I'm in Florida, hope your staying safe and wishing you and your family all the best. I have a 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
@@Mike-qt7xd likewise!
@@MrSubaru1387 my name is Michael by the way. Are there any problems or things about the Tribeca i should be aware of? I just took a fairly looking trip. Drive from Florida to New York, then from New York to the upper northeast tip of California, then from there back to Florida. Was just under 7k miles and when i was going through Alabama to the Florida line, i was basically ran off onto the emergency lane at night and i went off into the side of the road (going about 25-35) and sat there for about 15-20 minutes to regain my composure. I then went tti a rest area and slept. I got off at a exit, hit some gas. Drive about 150 per so miles and stopped to use the rest room and when i got back on I-10 I noticed it sorta /kinda slipped going from 3rd to 4th and i called my extended warranty company ( CarSheild) and took it to the Gainesville, Fl. Subaru dealer and the mechanic said that the transmission is toast basically. Said that the #1 shift solenoid went south and wiped out the transmission. So it's $7,000 or so for a new one. Carshield lady i spoke to said that it may not be covered because me going off the road would void the warranty due to it being a non-mechanical break down. What's your opinion?
I love Ko-Ken !! Amazing ratchet just like the rest of their tools.
I Love Ko-Ken! I’m excited for the new ratchets
I love Ko-ken. Getting quite a few sockets living in Japan.
I Love Ko-ken I’ve wanted one of these for awhile now.
I think I'm in love with Ko-Ken Tools!!!
I love Ko-ken Very nice tools man great review.
I love Ko-Ken, even if it does not enter the draw, greetings from Spain.
I Love Ko-Ken! I don't have any yet, but it'll be my next ratchet!
I love..knocking-it-out-of-the-ballpark..😆
I Love Ko-Ken! Wish these were sold in stores. Very interesting designs.
Can be bought domestically from palmac.net. 👍🏻
@@MrSubaru1387 Will look into for sure! Always had good luck with Japanese tools. Even some of my old Craftsman is from Japan. Never let me down.
I love Ko-Ken
Looks like a good value
Never heard of Koken before but you have me interested now.
I Love Ko-ken. Fingers crossed
I love Ko-Ken!! I have a safe spot in my tool box for it!
Well this is good to see, is a shame needed customer input make it happen, should of been in the works 10 years ago as obvious progression .
While the 36 tooth is indeed amazing to use, reduced swing arc was always a useful improvement and silly numbers like 120 really not needed .
I guess the way that pawl works introduces some lash o the arc but if as smooth and low drag as the 36 it be a winner .
I'll be trying one out and expect waiting keenly for 1/2 and 1/4 drive options .
Koken got lot of potential but marketing and general brand awareness is appalling considering innovation and quality level to cost they retail at .
I Love Ko-ken
Cant wait for them to release that 72 tooth!
They're out now!
I'm a non pro, advanced diy mechanic. I don't see as much benefit maxed out quality/non powered ratchet wrenches that are as I do from other tools. For example sockets, power ratchet, specialty spanners (offset, flex ratchet, thin) and swivel impact sockets
I love Ko-Ken I would love to try out the ko-ken ratchet and hopefully one day I can purchase the sockets
I Love Ko-ken ! Cant wait to get one
You know? I am going to check the website now...
I love Ko-ken
I love Subarus!
Loved the vid mate awesome tools
What sizes would a diyer for cars / homeuse need?
I love Ko-ken! And I’m a huge ratchet guy and I’m in the USA
Yet another great review!
I Love Ko-Ken
I love Ko-ken . that’s easy to post b/c it’s true. ♥️ my Koken tools.
One thing I want to point out, yes it has the lowest back drag. But it has more free play vs a snap on dual pawl ratchet. To go from ratchet to applying torque it moves more. That means your swing angle is actually more than the 5° a normal 72 tooth ratchet.
did you ever tried it though?
I love Ko-ken, been looking at getting one of their ratchets for a while now but when I saw they were coming out with a high tooth count ratchet I decided to wait.
I love Ko-Ken! My tool set is a mess it would be a bonus to have a spare.
I Love Ko-ken
Great video MrSubaru, good luck everyone.
I love Ko-Ken!! Good video as always
