The first ever Z-Series® x NUT GRIP® Design. NUT GRIP® is Ko-ken's special design for non-magnetic nuts/bolts to be held firmly in a 6-point socket. The design consists of two balls held in place by a spring steel ring.
Pin-less Universal Design
An ordinary ball type universal join has a structure with a pin type joint. Ko-kens universal joints are connected with mutually engaged hexahedrons. This connection disperses the load across whole outer circumference. The same durability is obtained with this design in comparison to the pin-type.
NUT GRIP® Technology
Our nut grip sockets are unique to Ko-ken and truly a revolutionary way of approaching this type of socket. Our fastener holds nuts and bolts in place without the use of magnets. Our system is built with a spring ring and ball bearings on opposing flats. When a nut or bolt is in the socket the ball bearings push out on the springs holding the nut/bolt in place. Our nut grip sockets can completely change a mechanics efficiency. If you lose a nut or bolt inside of an engine it can be quiet the headache to retrieve. With nut grip sockets that dilemma is completely eradicated.
