Has anyone heard of these tools?



Nope, but I have a wobbler extension like that, it can be a hindrance or a blessing, just depends on the need

Yea, the combination of the wobble and square drive, IMO, would be a PITA.

I wanna say I've heard the name. But they look high quality from here. If you want, you can send me the extension bars and I'll let you know if they're any good :p

I've heard of them. I've seen several YouTube videos talking about them. Mr.Subaru on YouTube and TikTok is always talking about them and bragging about how good they are. I've seen a few other "tool guys" brag about them as well. I've looked into them and they aren't exactly affordable in my opinion. But I would love to get a set of their "Nut-Grip" sockets. They have a tiny spring loaded ball bearing in the socket where it grips the fastener, and it holds the fastener in the socket. So these sockets will hold non-ferrous fasteners that magnetic sockets can NOT hold. Stainless Steel for instance.

I have seen the 10mm deep socket that has the spring clip as you described. I may get that since I use a 10mm deep and shallow socket all the time.

LOL, one $100 socket's just as cheap as 100 $1 sockets.

Koken is a good brand. Affordable is in the eyes of the buyer but they are very good quality.
