This is awesome! Ko-ken's Z-EAL socket
Let's take a closer look at the length [Tool introduction]
This is awesome! Ko-ken's Z-EAL socket. Let's take a closer look.
Ko-ken's Z-EAL socket
3/8"sq 12mm 3400MZ
20.8mm
Z-EAL is short
Z-EAL has a unique design
Very compact
Very thin and aggressive design
There have been many problems that I have had trouble with
Z-EAL has solved them
While it is useful in tight spaces
There are times when it cannot be used with nuts, as it seems to be only for bolts
The design is too biased to be called standard
Let's take a closer look at the Tongatta Z-EAL socket
Comparing the depth with 17mm bolts and nuts
Wera 3/8sq17mm Zyklops socket
Depth 19.5mm
Snap-on 3/8sq17mm Shallow socket
Depth 18.3mm
KTC-NEPROS 3/8sq17mm socket
Depth 16.8mm
MAC-TOOLS 3/8sq17mm super short socket
Depth 13.9mm
Ko-ken Z-EAL 3/8sq17mm socket
Depth 11.1mm
Z-EAL sockets are "for bolts" or "for the ideal condition of the nut" ~
Why are they so short?
Let's think about it.
First, let's clarify how to refer to length.
At Snap-on, they call them shallow, semi-deep, and deep.
Shallow is Snap-on's own term for it.
The original Snap-on's naming is not "length" but "depth".
Shallow (shallow) and deep (deep)
In between them is semi-deep (half deep).
MAC-TOOLS has four stages: super short, standard, semi-deep, and deep.
At KTC (Kyoto Machine Tools), they call them: standard, semi-deep, deep,
Standard, semi-deep, deep,
Long deep socket.
At Ko-ken, they call them: standard, semi-deep, and deep.
At Z-EAL, they call them: short, semi-deep, and deep. semi-deep, deep
Semi-deep and deep seem to be the same for all companies
Short sockets have various names for each company
Snap-on, the original name for sockets, named them shallow and deep, which makes sense when you think about the time when there were only two types
Semi-deep is in between them
In this trend, what is shallower than shallow?
Even shallower (even shallower) Even shallow?
Very shallow (very shallow) Very shallow?
I wonder if it will be? ??? ???
Generally, it is simply "socket"
or "standard"
"short"
If I think about why they couldn't be unified with shallow, I'll lose sleep
It's confusing, so I would like to unify the names of sockets as short, standard, semi-deep, and deep
Going back to the topic, why is Zeal's short short?
Compared to Koken's standard, it's this short
Is semi-deep also short?
The deep ones are about the same
When you line them up, they look like this
Could it be...
To avoid overlapping lengths? ???
I wonder? ??? ??? ???
Old KTC Current KTC Nepros
In the past, I was satisfied with these two types
The standard ones are a little longer
Of the two types, this was a good length to use~
The current KTC ones are a little shorter
Did they make them a little shorter because they have semi-deep ones?
The Nepros ones are the same length as the current KTC
The semi-deep ones are a little shorter on the Nepros ones
The deep ones on the current KTC ones are a little longer
When you line them up, they look like this
The standard and deep ones are almost the same length
It doesn't feel like it would be a waste to have them all
I wonder if each company is making efforts to avoid overlapping
Try combining Zeal and Snap-on
No overlap except for Deep
Try combining Zeal and the current KTC
It turned out to be a beautiful staircase
I think that Zeal sockets are designed for people who already have a certain number of sockets, or who already have Koken sockets, so that buying more will not go to waste
If you choose Zeal as your first socket, I think it's best to start with Semi-Deep
Or after getting the Koken standard, if you introduce Zeal, you will have less worries about the range of protection
Z-EAL socket!
Z-EAL socket!
At first glance it looks edgy but it's an aggressive design!
In fact, it is a socket that is designed with the user in mind.
The more experienced you are, the better you will appreciate
It's the highest level socket! This is a top-level socket!
