Combination spanner set

I have a lot of the original USA SK Superchrome wrenches. Use them professionally as a Cat dealer tech everyday and have never broken any of them. If you can find them on eBay or marketplace, I wouldn’t hesitate to grab them. The only wrench I find more comfortable in hand is the Wright tools wrenches. I have a set on satin finish I really like I just wish the Wrights were a little longer.

Thanks, I would certainly grab some original SK but have never seen any here. I will possibly look into some wright at a later stage, hopefully I can get over to the states one day and pick some up. I would love to handle them prior to purchase but that is just not possible here.
I have heard they are a touch short for most people's liking which is why, along with the cost, I opted to try the Hazet long 600n.

Being that this is the third (!) mention of Ko-ken in this thread, I must point out that they do not make any wrenches at all.

They only do socketry and a few other odds and ends (screwdriver, T-handle, tire lever, etc.).

I had not found any here but assumed they must have been available overseas. Good to know!

This is correct. KoKen don’t make, and have never made, conventional wrenches.

I can recall seeing some pictures of KoKen wrenches in the past, but they were just KoKen branded, rather than being made by KoKen, and I have only seen one reference to them.

I can’t be 100% certain, but I thought they might have been made by Beta Tools in Italy. That sort of made sense, as Beta’s aerospace grade socket wrenches and accessories are rebranded KoKen.

Maybe Beta and KoKen had some deal in countries where one company had a presence but the other did not?
