In for both sets. I'm aware that they have mixed reviews, but hard to pass up at that price...

I've been using these on air and small hydraulic lines for a few years and they have worked out just fine. The sets are short few larger sizes for my needs. ebay singles filled them in. Bilitools is also a decent set, but prefer sunex, and their wty support.

Been finding some Deals that we all might be interested in. Not Used warehouse deals... Figured there should be a current thread to put them.

Nice job getting this thread started and keeping it going VW Pieces!

If the garage door lube was good enough to start this journey when it was at $5.88, it should be good enough to post again now that it is....

Does it include the holders? says "Note: 1 pack of 20 2-inch Blue Quick Change Easy Strip Discs, the maximum speed is 20000. " and is listed under "Sanding Disc Backing Pads"

I got my order today and neither the description nor the photo was correct. I received 20 discs and one holder for $6.70. I’m happy, but I haven’t tried the stripping discs yet. They look fine, but we will see.

Lowest price I've seen on these flare nut crow feet.


One of the reviews on the SAE set says they are missing the divot at the square hole for the extension's spring loaded ball detent so the crow foot falls off. I was seriously considering them till I read that.

That was one of the reasons I'd been holding off. Maybe wrap the ratchet / extension in tape and stuff it into the CF?

What I really need are line wrenches, Snap-on makes good ones, but of course they're priced accordingly.

I'm seriously considering modifying some basic deep socket wrenches (or at least, asking our machinist at work to do it for me).

I bought both sets of these last year. I just went out and checked again and I didnt have any of the 5 or6 metrics that I checked on 3 different ratchets and 3 or 4 different extensions that were loose. I might wonder about the strength of the spring behind the retention balls of the users that said they were falling off their tools.

Maybe other members can post their results so that rumor can be proven or disproven.

Because I use them so in-often, I wouldn’t be concerned to spend my $30 on them again!

Koken 1/2" drive Z-line 4725ZB ratchet. 10" long. $55.36
Sells for $149 at Koken-USA

Amazon currently has it on backorder for 4-6 weeks. It will ship from Amazon-Japan.
The description does not state if it is the 72-tooth version, or the older 36-tooth version.

Based on my recent past experience ordering a 3/8dr Koken ratchet, I am willing to roll the dice on this 1/2dr ratchet purchase, and expect to receive the 72-tooth version.

None of mine had a divot for the retaining ball. I tried a dozen ratchets and extensions and all secured the crows foot. Strongly. I did have difficulty getting the crows foot on the drive on two pricy ratchets with stiff retention balls, a Snap-on and a Proto. This was because the crows feet do not have a lead in chamfer around the drive socket. They’re cheap and infrequently used in my case so I’m ok with them.

.....The Z in the part number seems to be the Zeal 72 tooth line.....
The Z can also mean 36-tooth. Koken did not change model numbers when the Z line ratchets were upgraded to 72-tooth 2 years ago. In some online product descriptions you will see the "72T" suffix added to the model number, sometimes not. But the "72T" suffix is not stamped on the tool. Koken has created some unnecessary ambiguity.

This is true, but the -B (quick release) versions posted above were released at the same time everything was updated to 72T. So they are guaranteed to be 72T.

Here are a few other Ko-Ken -ZB ratchets, close to if not cheaper than how much it'd cost buying direct from Japan (e.g. Rakuten). Bolded some of the ones I thought were really good deals if you're willing to wait a few weeks...

2725ZB-3/8-L160 - $51, 3/8" drive in 1/4" body, 160mm long
2726ZB-3/8 - $66, 3/8" drive in 1/4" body, flex head
2726ZB-3/8-L160 - $65, 3/8" drive in 1/4" body, flex head, 160mm long
3725ZB - $53, 3/8" drive standard
3726ZB - $60, 3/8" flex head
3725ZB-280 - $55, 3/8" drive, 280mm long
3726ZB-280 - $66, 3/8" drive, flex head, 280mm long (really good deal, but picture looks incorrect)
3725ZSB - $37, 3/8" drive, stubby
4725ZB - $55, 1/2" drive
