Ko-ken Tools - “High Performance Tools of Convincing Quality”

We at Haus of Tools are proud to stock the highest quality tool manufacturers around. One of the most prestigious is Ko-ken Tools, an international distributor whose core value and slogan are: “High Performance Tools of Convincing Quality.” Founded by Soichiro Yamashita in 1946, Ko-ken has grown tremendously, first beginning to export their tools internationally a decade later. Today they are one of the leading tool manufacturers of Japan and sought after across the entire world. They are best known for their specially treated sockets, socket wrenches, and assorted accessories, which are specialized for a dizzying array of needs for tradesmen and hobbyists alike!

When he was first setting up Ko-ken, Mr. Yamashita wanted to guarantee every product his company produced met his high standards, creating a thorough quality control system that still exists today. This has been the secret to the company’s success, earning them a good reputation and propelling the company’s immense popularity. Today, Ko-ken is recognized across the world as a high-quality manufacturer of a great variety of tools. They are still best known for their sockets and socket wrenches, with one of their best sellers being the Koken 2250M Socket Set. On top of being among their most popular products, this set perfectly encapsulates everything that makes Ko-ken great. All of the parts are meticulously crafted from premium materials and are neatly packed in a metal case that protects them from the elements.

Since the company has taken off, they have expanded their scope far beyond sockets while remaining just as committed to excellence. The sizes and functions of what they produce vary greatly, but all adhere to the same high standard. Some of their other best sellers are the Koken 1210E Wrench, which is used for the removal of door hinges, and the Koken 169BP Coin Driver, made for working on battery plugs. Both tools are highly specialized and favored by professionals, but you don’t need that experience to see how well-made they are.

Ko-ken Tools is in a class all their own when it comes to creating superb products that are stand up to intensive use. The durability and utility of their products are tough to beat, but what really makes them stand out is the quality you can see and feel.
