BMack37 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Have any of you checked these out? Might be worth a look, I just recieved a set and I'm pretty happy with the quality of them for the price. Seems like a pretty good deal for a USA made product. I also have one of their Made in USA slip joint pliers and again, seems to be a pretty good value. Tekton wasn't really on my radar until a tool blog (that shall not be named here) recommended the pliers. Seems like they're dipping their toes in the bargain USA-made tools market.

DR99 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Tekton has been making a push to sell more made in the USA tools lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I don't know if they are USA made but I am planning on grabbing some Tekton impact sockets and a tap and die set. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked their 30-piece hex key set I recieved yesterday, at least on first impressions. I haven't used them yet but the build quality and the case definitely hits above their price point. I'm one of those guys that looks at phillips tips on bits and critiques the machining...sure it's a $4 bit but quality control is important, in my opinion. It says a lot about a company when the QC is high on even disposable wear-and-tear products like driver bits come out the same every time.

Dan2425 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wow great to see some USA made tools from Tekton. Might buy a set and try them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm a big fan of Tekton impact sockets and there hand tools are pretty nice also if what they claim about being USA made that will have me even as a bigger Fan!!

Justin Hernandez Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 The handles look like there deflated..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The handles look like there deflated..lol My first comment was that they look like they were left in a car and started to melt. I do have to say, they're as comfortable to grip as a Tom Brady football. For the price, they're really nice but I prefer my Witte maxxpro plus...but you can also get four of these Tektons for one of those Wittes, a couple more if you buy the Witte with "Matco" on the side.

Conductor562 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm happy to see any screwdriver that is made in America and isn't an old school acetate handle like the traditional Craftsman drivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
