Any brick-and-morters sell Ko-Ken tools?

Wanting to buy some high quality Japanese made sockets and Koken seems to be the consensus. Are these sold anywhere where you can actually view them before dropping hundreds on a socket set.

Bambella Tools in North Central Tx seems the closest lol.
Any reason for wanting such a high dollar specialty set of sockets with all the other good brands out there? Serious question, not poking fun.

Why not spend it on Snap-on? There's no better made sockets out there.

Just want the most exact sockets made because I'm tired of rounding off nuts with shitty loose tools in hard to reach places.
Koken is said to be the best (maybe some German brands as good too, but even more expensive).
I trust Japanese meticulous engineering and QC (coming from the optics and camera world) more than American. Never used Snap On.

You should check it out. The tolerances are the main reason Snap-on exists. (That and the Flank Drive) And they're crazy expensive but I've toured the plant where they make those in Milwaukee and I doubt anybody is doing anything better. Plus if you break them you can get them replaced. Hell, even if the chrome doesn't look perfect they'll change it.

Thanks. Will look into it. Does Snap on have brick and morter dealers?

Yes. They're franchise owners. You'll see their trucks around. Check their website to see who your local guy is. You'll want to know that guy.

What about Milwaukee in the packout set.
