Been looking at some of their stuff. They have things such as stud sockets that seem quite interesting.

They make good impact sockets….I have about 6
 of their 1 inch drive sockets for larger wheels and bolts..

Their larger sockets like their 8” with a 3 1/2 square drive
are pretty pricey $$,$$$$. But tightening a 8inch nut
is going to be expensive no matter who’s turning it….😜

i bought a set of whitworth koken sockets , not many people make them and although i had never heard of koken i gave them a try . so far so good they seem well up to the job of repairing old british bikes and landrovers . they are made in japan so much better than the usual Chinese  rubbish .

They have some interesting tools such as a stud socket instead of having to double nut to install.
