They have the most organized site. Browsing for socket sets is like a dream.
Absolutely agreed 👍👍👍
Thanks for the review. Always good to hear of USA made stuff that doesn’t put us into debt.
Your welcome. And absolutely 👍
I was over at a friends place on the weekend doing some work on his truck and tried those tri lobe handled screw drivers. My fist impression was that they looked like a weird butt plug. But after using them for a few hours, I was sold. I have arthritic hands and the tri lobe design is by far the most comfortable in my hand and allowed me the best grip. I'll be picking up a set in the near future.
It was a pleasure to watch your lovely hands demonstrate the screwdrivers
Lol well thank you 😂 and ya I know exactly what you mean when I first saw these I thought that doesn't look comfortable but after getting hands on it completely changed my mind
TonyTheTechnician Awkwaaaard😂
@@truckerpeterose 😂😂😂
@@truckerpeterose C'mon... there's nothing wrong with a man admiring the firm yet supple hands of another man. I notice these things. Amongst other things, my ex wife was a hand model
Bruce L. Uhm okay
Nice post Tony. Not that it's good or bad but they remind me of the old snap-on
Ya that's what I hear alot about the design 👍 thank you
I like the square handle.
Good, I was trying to find a good set. I was thinking of getting sunex but I know they outsource some stuff but glad tekton is USA 🇺🇸 made
Tony I bought several sockets I was missing from Tekton and have been very well pleased. Thank you for the recommendations and I greatly enjoy your videos.
Thank you I really appreciate that and I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching 👍
I must say, Tony, watching your videos is costing me money! LOL Seriously, while I don't need more screwdrivers, your reviews and recommendations are always spot on and I really enjoy replacing my old worn stuff with tools you review. Thank you!
Haha thank you I'm sorry for costing you money lol but I'm really glad you like the new tools and like my suggestions. Thank you for your support 👍
Okay, I now have the red hard handle screwdrivers, and out of curiosity bought a 4 piece set of the trilobe screwdrivers. I love the trilobe as well!
Haha nice that's great to hear. Ya I did the same thing and was very happy I got them
I'm in the process of obtaining the red hard handled, black oxide bladed screwdrivers, I have 4 so far with 5 additional coming to round out the set. I bought them individually on Amazon. I really love the feel of these screwdrivers, and agree they just look " professional". Thanks for the great review, and recommendation!
Oh very nice 👍 that's awesome to hear and glad you enjoy them as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Bought 6 t40 3/8”sockets from tekton and 6 from capri to do a car hauler redecking. Much to my surprise using one of each on a cordless impact and pneumatic impact removed and installed the screws with zero issues!
Very nice great to hear 👍
Just wish they had a nut bolster on the shank. Comes in handy
Good point I didn't really think of that bc it's not something I ever use. I'll make sure to include that info in any future videos
Kenneth Stephens I don’t think I’ve ever used the nut bolsters I have on some of my screwdrivers.
@@craigjorgensen4637 same here
@@craigjorgensen4637 I have used them a few times. Not usually required, but super handy to have when needed. I would imagine you could use an open ended wrench on the handle if needed though.
i go to my impact driver if a screw is getting the best of me... that seems more practical than a nut bolster
I'm thinking about getting a set to replace my 20 year old Snap Ons, they are beginning to show their age. Not sure whether to go soft or hard handle, but I'm leaning towards the hard handle because they look like the Snap Ons.
I bought some of these after watching your review. I think personally I would like to have the tri-lobe handles but with chrome shafts. For me these feel a bit slick in my hands. I also got there 3/8 large socket set an I’m really impressed with the quality. Good reviews on your channel. Keep them coming.
Thank you. Glad to hear it and I appreciate your input as well 👍
I do like tekton screwdrivers, I have a couple trilobes and a nut driver. I do wish the screwdrivers had a hex bolster but it’s not a big deal. They are great screwdrivers.
I got quoted 207.00 for the 7 piece set from Snap on, off the truck. I just couldn't see spending that for screwdrivers. I've had nothing but a mix of no name, craftsman, and some gearwrench drivers I got for free ...needed an upgrade as a professional tech, they were breaking often. Bought this set off Amazon for 60 bucks, then added other tools until the price came to 205.00. Not only did I get more screwdrivers for the money, I also got other tools that I needed. Love Tektons stuff so far, I upgraded my Pittsburgh sockets to Tekton recently too.
Very nice. Ya I think that was a good route to go. Glad you are enjoying them as well. And ya I'm sure you got alot more tools for that money 👍
I was going to buy these yesterday but went with a Klein set including a 11-in-1 driver instead. All USA made. However, I just ordered a Tekton Tap and Die set. Be here Wednesday.
Very nice Klein is a good way to go as well 👍
I was just looking at those. My Craftsman screwdrivers I have had forever the tips are starting to twist or brake off. I didn't know you can buy directly from them. Thanks for the info and another great video
Thank you I appreciate it 👍
The shanks on these are obviously made by Pratt-Read, and the GRN handles are very likely made by WILDE.
I just ordered a set of these, and it will be my first Tekton purchase.
Theres no particular reason, these are just the first American made tool I've wanted from Tekton that was exclusive to them.
Most of their other domestic tools are made by Wilde and I bought that stuff through other sources before I ever heard about Tekton.
Now I am sure to look to them for future purchases, their website us just so user friendly and their discount program is nice as well.
Absolutely agree and ya I had bought a few wilde products before tekton also. Now I go to tekton bc they are expanding the USA tools, keeping prices low and ya the rewards are a great touch as well as the warranty. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I was skeptical of the tri-lobe screwdrivers too. But they are the best ones I’ve ever tried. They allow you to get more torque and a really comfortable grip.
Completely agree. That's how I felt as well
As true as that might be I can’t get over the fact that they are offensive to the eyes. I’ve never seen such a visual atrocity. 😂
That being said I’m thinking of ordering the hard handles ones.
I have the High-Torque 12 piece set (DRV41216) that I got when they were fairly new, and also the three piece square/robertson S1-S3 set... both sets with black oxide blades. I did not really like them at first, they felt weird in my hand. After using them, I have grown to like them once my hands adjusted. I am glad I got them at the price I did, which today seems like a mega sale.
Very nice glad to hear it and glad you enjoy them now. They are a great price. And ya when I first saw the handle design I wasn't sure if I would like them but now they are some of my favorites
I've been waiting on somebody to make a video on the red handle tekton screwdrivers. It also happens to be from my favorite tool channel, so, heck yeah!
Can't wait to buy a set.
Haha thanks I really appreciate it 👍 I really hope you enjoyed the video and enjoy the screwdrivers
I like the red handle set. To me, it's a cross between the Snap On and hard handle SK handles.
Agreed 👍
Wish Teckton made flex flare/line wrenches like gearwrench but tighter fitment on the fastener
I like the hard handle. What Ive noticed though is that the plastic is so smooth it almost slips in the hand. I compared it to a Snap on I have and the snap on is a little rough which works in its favor.
I have the sae and metric angle wrenches made in USA love them can't beat the price snap on is crazy expensive
Completely agree!!!
Exactly what I'm looking for. Remind me of the old black handle SnapOn. Thanks
Thank you. And ya they are very nice
@@TonyTheTechnician just checked, the 16 pc set is out of stock. No worries, just more proof they are better than good. These are what you want to carry in a vehicle because the chrome doesn't rust as easy as say my old Craftsman Industrial. Have those with both black and orange handles. Not bad but I believe these Tektons will be better.
I have the set of the red handled screwdrivers, love them! I also have the nut drivers, also great. Plus all made in the USA!
I'd be a likely buyer for those if the flat blade screwdrivers had square shanks. Fella be old school!
Lol weld a small but on the base 👍
Hello again Tony
Thank you for the Great Video on Tekton Screwdrivers. How do the Tekton Screwdrivers compare with other screwdrivers on an actual job, in other words using them for work? How well do they hold up. When will you have an update on the Camaro project? Again thank you
Thank you and I haven't had them long but they are doing great so far. I will have Camaro videos rolling out starting next week. 👍
I have the triangle screwdrivers already, but I think I'll pick these new red ones up. Do you know if the white markings on the end of the handles extends below the surface or is it just painted on. I'm worried about it wearing off. But I know some things, like game controllers, have the markings on the buttons injected all the way through, so they don't ever wear off.
Very nice and I'm not sure I haven't had any rub off yet but I'm not sure if it goes into the handle. I guess if they don't you could always engrave it as well.
Silly Q:
What are the pros / cons of black oxide vs chrome?
All my drivers are chrome.
Why have they introduced the BO?
Black oxide is cheaper since they don't have to chrome plate the screwdriver shafts. Black oxide does need oiled every few months to prevent rusting but overall not a huge difference. It is sold in both chrome and black oxide now so it depends if your trying to save a few dollars or not. 👍
Tekton needs to add a Canadian site...I would rather buy directly from Tekton than from Amazon, but the additional costs of buying from an American site make it cost prohibitive compared to Amazon
Good video. How do the soft handles hold up with oil, fuel, etc.?
So far so good. They do a good job resisting the chemicals
I’m interested in those hard handled screwdrivers. Saw them the other day and thought, “eh, maybe.” Then I saw they were USA made. Really got me thinking. Debating on SnapOn, Tekton, or the Mayhew Catspaw (strike caps and blade goes all the way through the handle). Anyone have experience with the Mayhew?
Nice looking for sure.
Indeed 👍👍👍
I’m a huge Tekton fan and I’ve invested about $1300-$1500 so far in their products and overall everything is top notch quality.............
BUT their impact torx bits are absolutely garbage. I’ve snapped every single one I’ve used immediately. I have yet to successfully remove 1 torx bolt with them. Obviously there customer support is amazing and they replaced them within days but I seriously think they have a major production flaw. I wind up using my Pittsburgh chrome torx bits on my impacts and they are holding up great.
I would love to see you review these. 🤞🏼
Very nice and great to hear and ya I have heard that before about those bits. I actually asked them a bunch of questions when I met with them last month. That is one item that will be improved as well.
TonyTheTechnician Hopefully they warranty out my broken ones with better replacements. I’m not exaggerating either, they feel like they are made of glass. I just ordered their Phillips and flat head bit sets in 1/4” and 3/8”. They come on Ernst rails and were very affordable.
@@truckerpeterose very nice and yes they will always warranty to the new design 👍
Which set is lighter?
good video, do they make torqex drviers like that also. can look on web site but good quesrion.
Thank you. As of right now they only have them with the trilobe design but if I remember correctly they should be with this handle as well eventually
Hello! I just subscribed to the channel. I have really been impressed with Tekton. How would you rate Tekton and Icon? Which one do you prefer? I started out strong on Icon, but lately I have really been impressed with and leaning towards Tekton.
Thank you. Tekton above icon for me. Nothing wrong with icon but for the price I can get tekton and tekton has many tools made in the USA. Plus tekton is a family owned company and just seems much more caring about the customers
@@TonyTheTechnician I really like that about Tekton. I have been looking at Tektons half inch socket set. I have been debating twelve point vs six point. Normally I am a six point guy, but a few of my friends are saying go with the twelve point. Do you have a favorite?
@@adriannurse1502 I try to stick to 6 point as much as possible but I keep a 12 pt set of all three drive sizes for those occasions you need them.
@@TonyTheTechnician Definitely nothing wrong with having both sets.
@@adriannurse1502 thanks 👍
They need to make these in hex also. A 6 in 1 would be awesome in hex. I hate Allen wrenches
Indeed. I know right now they have hex and torx and nut drivers with the trilobe. It will be nice to see that with these handles as well 👍
Wish they came in a tray
Ya that's would be nice.
Gearwrench tools on Amazon doesn't say where it was made on product from what I've seen
Ya alot of them don't it can be annoying
@@TonyTheTechnician use your RUclips power and tell teckton make flex line wrenches lol
@@mikeaze423 lmao I'll ask them about it
How far does the shank go in to the handle?
Check the website. It shows an x ray version of the handle and much more info on every tool
Cost for them would be cool to know
I included that in the video already. From just small 2 PC sets all the way up to this set cost anywhere from 12 dollars to 70 dollars
@@TonyTheTechnician Ah missed that, so like $75 for full set.
@@xephael3485 yes indeed 👍 that's less then what I paid for the gearwrench master set I have. So prices seem great.
Have you tried them against the matco ones? if you have, which ones are better?
I haven't tried the square design against the matco but I have tried the trilobe compared to matco and prefer the trilobe 👍
You serious? The MATCO ones are made by WITTE in Germany. As much as I like TEKTON, WITTE blows them away.
I know witte makes them. I have them as well and the grips are no where near as comfortable. You can get way more leverage with the tekton tri lobe. The witte screwdrivers are great screwdrivers and I think the tips are better but as far as the handle I prefer the tekton way more!
Professional looking? I have used USA made paper clips to fix cars before.
Well that's better then using Chinese paper clips to break a car 😂
Are the tips magnetic?
No they are not but you can easily magnetize them. Mine are all magnetic now
TonyTheTechnician how did you magnetize them?
I just ordered off the Tekton website very ez free shipping and free money for more tools I am super happy with how Tekton is making there tools better and listening to the people ..........Trump 2020 .....
I am happy with all my Tekton tools except the 8" adjustable wrench......really loose and an embarrassment to their brand.
Yeah for a crescent wrench, go SK

TonyTheTechnician I got a lot ! ALOT OF companies I could give you their info! Amazing companies
I don't like the tips. They're too blunt.
