i filled in my 35 year old Craftsman sockets/wrenches set with Tektons and have been well pleased. I then proceeded to buy Tekton screwdrivers, punches. chisels, hammers, & pliers. All have been strong precision made and effective for the tasks i have given them. I enjoy your videos and have subscribed. Keep up the good work young man.
Thanks for the sub and feedback. I haven’t gotten a chance to try out many of their other tools yet but that’s great to hear and they are definitely on my list of future purchases.
@@OUSoonr1981 the sockets and combination wrenches are made in Taiwan. Around 20% of their tools are made in the USA right now. Their angle head wrenches are made in the USA.
tekton has been updating a bunch of their lines and I get the strong feeling in 2021 we will see their wrenches update to bolt biters and maybe even i-beam handles.
Hope so that’s what I’m looking for. some of these other brands are too expensive to justify how much I use them I usually use flex head wrenches or sockets.
Comparable more to the gearwrench combination set, especially if they’re made in Taiwan. My gearwrench set was a 44piece initially, I made it a 49 piece by picking up the handful of unused sizes separately, set is 6-32mm and 1/4” -1 1/2”. Price wise though, the10% back from tekton can’t be beat.
I’m on the fence right now between the 44 piece Gearwrench or the 46 piece Tekton wrench set. I am slightly favoring the Gearwrench because I already have some of their ratchet wrenches and approve of them and also because in all test I have seen, the Gearwrench seems to have a better open end wrench (meaning the Tekton will slip on a bolt head before the Gearwrench will)
even though i do not know very much about this particular brand (never owned), they seem like a solid choice as i have read a few positive blog reviews about Tekton even before seeing your detailed review. thanks for the excellent vid and education !
I go back and forth on whether to buy online or box store. I too live very close to a Home depot an have bought their metric combination wrenches. which are amazingingly similar to my SK SAE wrenches. it's just so easy to go and get a tool there or get something warranted in 15 mins time. I do like tekton, nice review
I bought a complete set of Tekton wrenches and sockets about 7 years ago from Amazon, but if they are not kept very dry, the sockets, etc. rust. I'd buy another set of the same Tekton tools, but they are no longer available from Amazon, or listed on the Tekton website. The 10 mm sockets always escape from the blow mold case, as is usually the case with any 10 mm socket.
The tekton brand is awesome ! A few things like about them they are based in grand rapids Michigan both times I ordered from there site I received the next day got 10%back .and there quality is great they started as a cheap nothing brand and they constantly are improving there line making them better and better soon if not now they will rival any tool truck brand there ratches already out perform snap on. There breaker bars too. However snap on wrenches are still a bit better .but I have full confidence tekton will continue to improve
So what tool box did you order?? I just picked up a Husky 56 in combo 23 drawer and i like it alot... but if there is one thing i dont like its the short drawers... But i like your videos on the Teckton Tools... Keep up the good work!!
@@puddleduckist good Amazon is overrated. I learned I can usually go direct or to the name brand site to purchase items with free shipping and not be charged a yearly fee. And am able to price match even Walmart with free shipping and no tax sometimes.
Subbed when I saw yee yee. Like the tekton tools also. I have a lot of different brands, when considering a new tool I always see what tekton offers. Nice cabinet set up.
I have the tekton wrenches and the metric socket set 1/2 inch drive... haven't used them yet though.. I have to correct what I've said although it is in comments for a few other videos, sorry I only have the 1/4 inch to 1 inch wrench and the 10-24 mm wrench set so it is the 30pc not the 46pc set and my 1/2 drive socket set is the deep 6pt 10-38mm socket set.. sorry for the confusion..
Congratulations on getting a great wrench set. I recently purchased the same set and I am very happy. Comparing the set to Pittsburgh really isn't fair. If you want a Harbor Freight comparison you have to step up to Icon, and Icon is far more expensive. Can't wait to see your new tool box. 🙂
Hey thanks and congratulations to you too. My only reason for comparing the two was because they were almost identical in design. That being said, Pittsburgh doesn’t offer anything close to Tekton when it comes to a complete set so maybe they aren’t great to compare.
@@adriannurse1502 I ordered the Husky 56” 23 drawer box. It was between that and the US General. I like the build of the US General better but I like some of the features of the Husky more. Our stores don’t carry the box I ordered so I’m hoping I like it.
I keep hearing about Tekton sales. WHen do they happen. I have about $4K in their shopping cart right now, but would love a discount other then the 10%.
Thank you for the great content on your channel! Hey I’m currently in the market to buy a master set of wrenches. I’m leaning towards the Tekton set but I also saw a Milwaukee 30 piece master set for $52 more @ $199 than the Tekton set with the pouch. Do you feel the Milwaukee wrenches are worth the extra $50?
@@reecephipps381 I absolutely agree with you! I ended up going with Tekton for my 1/4,3/8 & 1/2 ratchet & socket master sets and I haven’t looked back. I got so more Tekton like their screw driver sets & master wrench sets. A-1 quality & their customer service is amazing! I did go with Capri for my Master impact socket sets & swivel impact sets. Another great company but Tekton is by far my go to. Have a great rest of your day!
@@mr.delacruz559 did you ever go through with their warranty? Is it a fast replacement? I’m currently looking into buying a few of their sets right now actually
@@reecephipps381 I did go through their warranty claim. Not due to a failed tool but due to them putting 2 of the same socket & missing one of the sockets. I filled out the form with a pic and within 3 days I had the socket in hand. They also told me to keep the extra socket. I have their pry bars, pick set, screw driver set , slipjoint plier set & everything is top notch. Their customer service is by far the best I’ve ever dealt with.
Tekton like Icon are not professional grade wrenches and sockets, they are made with a softer steel, that is what people don't understand, they think a wrench is a wrench but nothing could be farther from the truth. There is a video where a mechanic bought some Icon Tools and used them daily to test them and see how they would hold up and after only a few months the short comings of the quality of the Icon tools started showing up. They were wearing out that fast in daily use by a mechanic. If you are serious about working on vehicles including your own vehicle buy a set of Snap On wrenches and sockets as well a ratchets, they will last you a life time. You don't have to buy the entire catalog of Snap On tools, by a set at a time and pay them off then by the next set you will use and before you know it you have a super nice set of Snap On tools all paid for.
I work on heavy equipment like 657g scrapers, D10t dozers, and 637g scrapers. Tekton, icon, gearwrench, and sunex are all good enough for multimillion dollar machinery. I have no issues with my tekton wrench set. I work on real big shit and not little hello kitty cars like you do. Stay paying for overpriced metal😂😂
I can answer that question why don't you just use the Pittsburgh wrenches since they are similar,so I have 5 sets of Pittsburgh wrenches to compare to what I used to have in Sears and Craftsman and honestly I don't think any of them compare to the tekton in my opinion though.. I also ended up buying a set of s wrenches and line and offset wrenches in Pittsburgh kinda how I ended up with 6 sets of Pittsburgh wrenches. And 4 sets are because they didn't have every size, the sears and Craftsman I used to have did, the tekton does cover every size!!
Just think what a Snap On set like that would cost......im guessing 8,000.00-10,000.00 plus a kidney...........I know I know, Snap On is awesome itll withstand a nuclear blast and flame throwers and beating on it with a sledge hammer and its worth the ridiculous cost because it says Snap On.

Yes finding a real complete set without skips, is nearly impossible at the box stores , Lowe’s , Home Repot , and they stop short of 1.25 inch on SAE

I really have begun to like Tekton and Sunnix and Milwaukee ever since Craftsman went Chinesim.
Just picked up my first set of sunex impact sockets. Been looking at the set for a while and I really like them so far.

@@projectkarr thks
Tekton is nice - but I think Capri tools are better - Just my 2 cents
Capri makes some great tools. I really like the range of sizes and no skips with Tekton which is what ultimately pushed me towards them.
in length not size
15 years you look all of about 21
Haha I’m definitely not 21 but I do appreciate the compliment.

Ya pretty crazy. Maybe if I hit the lottery one day, but until then I’ll stick with these haha.
