ETS7345 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Picked this little set up today. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BLZ7TK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have heard good things about Tekton. So I thought I would give these a try. For the price and warranty I thought eh what the heck. You can never have enough of these things! Has anyone had any experience with Tekton?

Conductor562 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've reviewed a few Tekton items. Some of their products are better than others, but I've been happy with all the ones I've used. Their ratchets are nice (especially the composite models) and their impact sockets are great for the money. The thing about Tekton is their warranty and service. They have some of the best customer service in the business. If you have a problem you call them and they send out a new one, no questions asked. Their Tap and Die sets have the lifetime warranty too. With the possible exception of Snap-On, I'm not aware of anyone else offering a warranty like that on T&D's. I think the set I have goes for $40 bucks. That's a steal for a lifetime of T&D's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETS7345 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sounds like a company who knows what people want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Their products have gotten better over time. They add new products all the time. They used to sell stuff under the MIT brand, but the did a line revamp a couple years back. They're my go to when I'm looking for a cheap solution.

Conductor562 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 There are a few gems at HF. Their higher end roller boxes, floor jacks, and air compressors are all good for the money. I buy all my chain, clevis hooks, etc there. 95% of the hand tools and 100% of the power tools suck ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
