    socket rails

    For a tool box, VIM Magrails are the best. Expensive, but the best. Completely customizable like the Ernst rails but lower profile and magnetic without magnetizing your tools. My Ernst rails were always prone to falling over with deep sockets and the studs don't hold their positions on the...

    Ko-ken Tools -- What Makes this Brand Special !?!?

    I ended up getting the standard Koken for the shallow (I might get the Zeal shallow at a later date) but Zeal for the Deep since they do appear to be pretty much the same overall length but smaller outside dimensions in the deep variety. Zeal in shallow for everyday use still makes me nervous...

    Ko-ken Tools -- What Makes this Brand Special !?!?

    Thank you both! That is exactly the information I needed. I'll be buying the regular Koken sockets instead and then getting Zeal where/when I need them for tight access. EDIT: I just can't get over how cheap Koken tools are for the quality. Probably pretty controversial to say, but the small...

    Ko-ken Tools -- What Makes this Brand Special !?!?

    Got a question for those who have a lot of Koken sockets - is there any reason to get the standard sockets over the Zeal/Z-series sockets? Or should I just buy the Zeal sockets? Price difference is not a factor in my book. I'm looking at getting a full line up of sockets, this time from...

    SK Tools Steals & Deals 3/2021

    My recent SK 3/8 drive LP90 was also pretty disappointing. They changed the springs used in them, and the new spring has like 50% more coils than the old and is way harder to compress. Shame, because that old spring was exactly why I loved the 3/8 LP90s. They were the lowest back drag 3/8...

    Why entry level socket sets still include SAE?

    Fun fact, one pound (weight) is legally defined as 0.45359237 kilograms. An inch is legally 2.54 cm. Yes, even the SAE system has converted to metric for its legal definitions.

    SK Steals and Deals

    Probably limited use or they caught on to too many people using it and cancelled it. I'll also add myself to the list of people who haven't heard back from SK customer support. I have a DOA 1/4 drive LP90. It both jams and has a chunk of chrome missing. No response to request for warranty...
