Inverted Torx universal sockets with ball detents?

[bimmer630]

Somewhere I remember seeing HAzet or Stahlwille or maybe some other brand, makes or made a set of inverted torx sockets that have a spring loaded ball bearing in the socket broach area that holds the bolt in place (handy for working with aluminum bolts on bmw engines, etc)

has anyone seen these?

they would have ends on them like these bmw head bolt sockets do http://www.tooltopia.com/otc-tools-...TEwuPoSmCDdD0UXamy6roZkFOd_Tn3ml8bRoCjSvw_wcB

I found them in non-swivel.. through Baum. They look like Koken, but they arent listed on kokens website, and Baum doesnt offer prices or where to buy...

bimmer630,

You can purchase the Ko-ken e-Torx Nut-Grip sockets individually (not available in a set) on Rakuten's "i-Tools" website: i-Tools. I would send i-Tools an e-mail to find out about stock availability.

Thanks. I've never seen that website. Koken makes some nice stuff by the looks.. Ive only seen a few things of theirs in person though. I have been thinking of getting their universal male torx bit sockets too.. The last place I found them at only sold them individually, just like this place.
Baum tools emailed me back and said the 4 piece set of koken e-torx sockets is around 52 bucks plus shipping
