Manufacturing Detail: Cold Forging for Superior Precision and Bit Sockets

What happens here

Koken's manufacturing prowess is further detailed by explaining their use of the cold forging process. Unlike hot forging, cold forging takes longer but yields more precise tools with closer tolerances. This means that, for example, a 10mm socket or bit will be exactly 10.0mm rather than 10.1mm or 9.9mm, which reduces play and prevents rounding of fasteners. The video also briefly shows a range of high-quality bit sockets, including hex, Torx, Torx Plus, Phillips, and Pozi-drive, many of which also incorporate the Nuck Grip-like retention ring for holding bolts securely.

Goal: Understand Koken's cold forging process and the quality of their bit sockets.
