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

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.
