Description

Ko-ken ratchets are renowned for their precision engineering, delivering exceptionally low backlash, compact head sizes, and high torque performance. The newly designed 72 tooth ratchet continues this legacy, combining our hallmark features with refined advancements. Featuring a patented dual pawl mechanism with a single spring, this ratchet provides a smooth 5° arc swing, allowing for superior control in tight spaces. The innovative design increases surface area contact within the gear, resulting in a 10% higher torque limit while preserving Ko-ken’s signature low-torque backlash performance.

  • Quality Japanese tool
Pattern Name: Single Item
Great ratchet. Love working on Japanese bikes with Japanese tools. Feels very good in your hand. Very little back drag

  • Best ratchet I have used
Pattern Name: Single Item
I have quite a few ratchets on my box, and this is the one I grab for every small job. It has a shorter handle so it’s not great for getting lots of torque but the mechanism is super smooth and the backlash is less than anything I have. Koken makes some very high quality tool and you can feel it.

  • Pretty nice.
Pattern Name: Single Item
Best ratchet ever? I prefer some other brands but this ratchet is nice. Dual 80 Snap-ons are tanks but back drag isn’t their selling point. They are the best IMO though. Koken Z back drag is the selling point. Better than any ratchet I have except for maybe a $nap-on Zero 💸 and some other Ko-ken Z ratchets. 90 tooth USA S-K’s are in that ball park too. Japanese Nepros 90 tooth 3/8” ratchets are close in light back drag as well and also very nicely finished. KTC Nepros have the same reverse positions as western ratchets unlike Ko-ken which is opposite . ———————————————— Pictures are with Snap-on dual 80 and Nepros 90 for comparison. ________________________________ Have several Ko-ken ratchets now. Didn’t need them but rave reviews made me curious enough to purchase. Very nice for ratchets in $45-$75 range. The ratchets I think are better were a lot more then what I paid for my Ko-ken ratchets. The hype about Ko-ken ratchets back drag is true. But. IMO I have better 3/8” ratchets all though maybe not as light in back drag. Ko-ken isn’t the be all end all in ratchets for me as for some reviewers. But they are very nice. Affordable without compromising overall quality. I liked the first one I bought enough that I purchased more from Amazon Japan. So 👍 ... show more

  • Hard To Beat Japanese Quality - I'm Now A Koken Fan
Pattern Name: Single Item
I'm a home gamer shade tree mechanic, but I feel like a pro when using this Koken ratchet. It has a very smooth operation and very low back drag so it'll spin sockets in the desired direction when the fastener isn't offering much resistance, instead of annoyingly spinning in both directions, requiring the mechanic to add some friction with the off hand to prevent spinning backward on the return stroke. The direction selector tab may work the opposite of your other ratchets. That could really bug some people, and would probably bother me if I used ratchets so often that I could remember which way they rotate without checking each time. When the little lever is rotated clockwise (to the left), this Koken ratchet turns sockets counterclockwise. This ratchet was my gateway drug to Koken. I bought a couple of other Koken tools since then and plan on buying more. Not quite as addictive as Milwaukee power tools, but close. Koken makes high quality, clever, often best-in-class tools. ... show more

  • Second best tool I've ever held!
Pattern Name: Single Item
Who am I kidding, this is easily the best quality hand tool I've ever held. The heft and finish are perfect... the natural fit in you hand. 72 teeth get the job done with only a few degrees of movement. This Japanese tool will win you over.

  • Dumb rotor head mechanic
Pattern Name: Single Item
Is great ratchet. 10/10 back drag is the best currently available on the market. Head is good and small. Handle grip is surprisingly nice, not usually a fan of bigger grips. Selector switch isn't a rigid little bastard. Glad I bought it, works wonders on helicopters.
