I am a professional tech using these on heavy duty marine cat engines daily. I've come to really love their deep and shallow sockets. I really tried to love their wobble sockets, but the literal first day I was using my wobble socket set the 1/2" broke one of the pins on the side connecting the u-joint together. I was pretty surprised considering it was only a valve cover on a 3512 I was removing. Also in a head to head comparison with snap on wobbles the snap on will blow them out of the water not only in durability but also the quickness of removing bolts. I ended up having to get a full snap wobble set and no regrets there. So in conclusion tekton does make absolutely great tools and I would highly recommend. Just maybe not all their tools but that goes for most tool companies. I think it is good to have a healthy variety of tool brands, whatever does the job properly and quickly. It isn't just about brand names.
NOTE: I sent a picture to tekton the same day I had broke that 1/2" wobble and had a brand new within 2-3days. They sent it out literally 15min after I contacted them. Which is one of the main reasons I will stick with them since their customer service is phenomenal.
Wow, this is great information! I'm not surprised it always seems like even the best of the best have flaws that need worked out (in any industry). Its always nice to get feedback from other people because in the long run it can sure save a lot of people money and frustration. This is why most of us have a backup wrench or socket because in your case even them taking care of it in 15 min and you receiving it in 2-3 days is awesome, but you still had to take care of the customers equipment. I appreciate your time and thank you so much for commenting today! 💪
Ps: Its good to know they stand behind their warranty!
Wow that's what's the techs at LA CAT here in morgan city say. Most of their hand tools are snap on, all there power tools are Milwaukee and they have some tekton especially the 1/4 inch 55 piece socket set. I have 2 1/4 inch socket sets as well and use them regularly.
Love them for the no skips, bigger sizes, warranty, 10% back, and slowly moving to more us production.
Yes! These are all 💯 valid points, plus they even have handy carry cases for almost everything! Thanks for commenting! 😎
I think many manufacturers skip socket and wrench sizes in some kits so you have to buy another set. Marketing scheme. They say you don’t need this or that size, well I have plenty that needs the missing sizes.
Obviously all metric sets should come with three of each 10mm and three of each 1/2” sizes.
@@akbychoice Never fails for me every time I need the size not in the set I have to drive to the auto store and buy a socket or wrench. With one of my other cars and then you get back home and now you have to go back again because you bought the wrong one. And so on.... Or people can just buy the Tekton and get the no skips! That's why I'm here making the videos 🤣
I came here to say this. The quality has been a big plus ➕️ too!
@@markmills344 I agree with you as well!
Late to the party here but I equipped my apprentice technicians with Tekton sockets (impact & chrome ) 1/4-3/8-1/2 drive as well as ratchets/extensions ,hammers ,pry bars ,plier sets . Have not tried their wrenches and instead went with snap on and gear wrench .
So far they have held up well and when one of them breaks a tool tekton is extremely good at getting a replacement tool to us in a few days . For starting techs I believe they are the most affordable, reliable, cost effective tools on the market. I was originally skeptical and have been very pleased so far . No I have no plans to replace my massive snap on collection 9f tools , but will continue to purchase them for our apprentice technicians / shop helpers , and recommend to anyone at or below a C level technician.
Hey, better late than never. This is really great and helpful info for everyone here to see. I'm not a pro by any means, but they are great for my diy stuff. Defiantly no complaints here. Thanks for watching and sharing.
you don't need the cardboard in the socket cases, the sockets will stay in place if you open the cases properly
Ok great to know, nobody likes to reorganize when they all fall out especially when your trying to fix something! Thanks for commenting!
I keep the cardboard in or foam or whatever is in there so that they don't rub against each other.... and it keeps tension on the lid....☝️
I never take the separator out
additionally you can spray that with WD40 and never have to worry about your tools rusting away🤔
@@boosted2.4_sky When they are in your vehicle without the separator you can hear them clank together on every bump or pothole. Very smart idea! Once again Thanks for your time Craig! 🤙
I found that out years ago. I only opened the box wrong the first time.
Yes, after you do it once you don't ever want to redo cleaning that up again! 🤣 Thanks for commenting!
These are great tools. I'm a professional mechanic and use them alongside my Snap-on and Cornwell tools. Also, great customer service. They ship any tool warranties out the same day. Only reason that I know that is because when I ordered a wrench set, I got an extra 18mm instead of a 19mm and they sent me the replacement same day and let me keep the spare 18mm.
I think almost everyone has several brands as some have weaknesses and strengths. Sounds like you have a good mix of tools to me! That's awesome they took care of you right away. That is one main reason I chose to purchase their tools. Thanks for commenting I appreciate you!
As a machinist, I’ve been using Tekton wrenches for years. I liked them so much I bought 2nd sets for home use (SAE & MM)
I’m a little jealous of you with these 23pc sets - I think mine are only 18pc
Ok very nice! We getting all trades in here now! 💪 You know at least you can buy the singles or even they have the sets so you can be equal to what I have. It is nice to have them. Thanks for commenting I appreciate you!
I have been using Tekton sockets and wrenches for years and they are definitely top notch. I Finally ordered the complete Impact socket set today wich is long overdue.
I completely agree with you. Enjoy you new addition to the toolbox!
I have had zero complaints at all with tekton. Their customer service is TOP NOTCH. The only thing better than their cs is their tools
Great to hear! I am happy to see where these tools take me! They seem to be awesome tools from first impression! Thanks for commenting!
I've been buying from them for several years. They have really nice specialty tools and their socket rails are a good bargain
Awsome! I couldn't agree more, great quality for a better price than assessors. Thank you very much for commenting!
I love tekton tools ! Sold all my snap on tools and said why ? These tools are just as good for thousands less
I couldn't agree more. Of course there are pros and cons to ALL companies, but if you can get by with the lesser of the 2 prices why not? Thanks for sharing!
Former ASE certified tech with lots of tool truck tools here.
Tekton is my very first choice for tools after the big tool truck brands.
Their screw driver sets are great, and I’ve converted over to using their 1/2 drive sockets for all my 1/2 drive stuff.
For ratchets, Snap On still makes the best ones hands down, and Snap On Chrome 1/4 and 3/8 sockets can still get to places other brand can’t,
Awsome! This is great to know, thank you. You definitely can't beat the quality for the price. What is your #1 choice overall? Just curious. Thanks for your time and commenting!
Koken z serie will disagree with you and snap on ratchet are nothing special the locking mechanism on the flex head is pretty horrible
The koken z serie ratchet is probably the lowest back drag ratchet money can buy and they are way cheaper than snap on and made in japan where they make real quality tool lol
@@legros731 If the lower price works and does everything just fine, shoot that's a no brainer for me. Sometimes its worth spending more, but that just depends on the scenario.
@@HowToDIYMoore lol the koken habe smaller head lower backdrag and the box are the shortest of the industry and made in japan for half the snap on tax
Sure you may not get the same ease with the warranty
I own just about everything Tekton makes. I have only broke my 3/8 breaker bar. Getting replacements is super easy and fast. Everything Tekton makes is amazing. The regular ratchets could be better but everything else is top notch
That will be me very, very soooon... haha. It seems as their warranty is bullet proof so defiantly no worries there. From what I can tell without me owning and using the tools for any amount of time I am seeing that their ratchets are a weakness. I'm sure they will be working on improving them as some have stated that they are aware of the flaws in the ratchets. If that's their only problem than I think they are doing excellent! Thanks for sharing George 💪
Definitely worth the money. I upgraded my small tool box to a 5 drawer cart and I've been purchasing there sockets sets in 6 point and 12 point to complete my sizes I'm really impressed with the quality.
I agree, and so far so good for me.
So the cardboard is not meant to stay. Throw it out. They are designed to close and not shift. I've never had an issue. The side of the case with the logo is the top, always open the top, you will never have an issue. I prefer to not have to fight with every single tool to get out. I think this was designed very well.
Very great info and pointers thanks!
im going to say yes because i have a 282 piece craftsman .. i busted a socket and they cant replace it because they dont make the 17mm deep 6 point 1/2 inch. it just makes me question how many more will i bust and have to replace with my own money after shelling 300+ on this pos kit... i bought a tekton 17mm deep 6 point 1/2 on amazon for a whole 8 bucks to replace my craftsman and the socket feels better quality. Seems to me Tekton will have no issues replacing any socket.
Wow not cool! I have yet to see anyone on any website or anywhere have an issue with the warranty of Tekton. I feel assured as a customer in their products! This is why I chose to purchase their brand because tools are not just a purchase but an investment! Thank you very much for your support and comment!
@@HowToDIYMoore you are welcome! I am eventually going to Sell Off My craftsman set for the tekton..
I was looking at the tekton kit the other night. I am a full Time mechanic trying to make money.. II also don't want to spend thousands on snapon.
@@Werewolfmage Yes I agree, if it was me I would defiantly do that. I think the old Craftsman was good when it was Sears, but not since the company sold. Quality went downhill on a lot of stuff. If you purchase the Tekton make sure you buy it from the Tekton website, they keep their NEWEST and BEST products on THEIR site. Its hard to explain, but also you will get rewards to spend on more tools! 🤑🤣
10:10.. That's because people who work with their tools don't want to fight with them if you want to carry him around and show him off that's fine but if you work with your tools, this is the way to go
.. People like to pop the pins out and leave the split case sitting in a cart and they're easy to get out you don't have to fight with them when you're working that's why they do that to half the case of tools
.I always keep the cardboard or foam liner in all of my cases but I transport them...
the cardboard is especially nice because you can spray that with WD40 and keep your tools from rusting if you use them in the field... If they're just sitting in your house or temperature-controlled garage you don't have to worry about it as much but if you use your tools for work I would spray that cardboard with WD40
I like to show them off & work with them. 🤣 Defiantly some great pointers I couldn't agree more. I thought a lot about the video after making it. Its funny cause you sometimes say and do things differently when filming, but that's what makes the videos authentic. I appreciate you watching it and commenting, Thank You.
All my socket are Tekton at work. Chrome and Impact. The 8 - 38 1/2" set is a must have for an auto tech. Only thing to fail in the last 2 years is the 3/8" 13mm chrome, and had a replacement in 3 days.
Wow that's not bad at all for 2 years. I think we can all expect a tool or 2 to break. Its good to know they stand strong behind their tools with a no hassle guarantee. I have my eyes on the Impact sets for sure! Thanks for commenting I appreciate you!
let me guess, you work mostly on german cars. thats why its the 13mm that broke
@@rashestkhan2878 I work on everything. Pretty common around here.
I have several boxes of tekton. I think they are great tools. I have snap on tools also. I use the tekton as much as the snap on
Ok awesome! Sounds like alot of money for sure. It's good to know you trust the tekton as much as the snap on tools as well. Have you ran into alot of situations where one or the other didnt do the job for you? Thanks for sharing bud!
@@HowToDIYMoore they seem too work equally well
@@br529 Just as I had imagined! 💪
Yes worth it my box has a fair amount of tekton. You did it smart and got all the big items during the sale. I bought mine over time so the only thing I got on Black Friday was the punch set in the wood block. Very smart if this deal came when I was looking around I would of done the same thing. Tekton doesn’t offer many discounts ever so you did it right! Warranty works well super fast used it.
Thanks bro! I've got my eyes 👀 on the punch/chisel set, but its been sold out w/ the carry case. So I'm waiting till restock to get it. These aren't all the big items I need, but these will certainly prevent me from having to drive to the store every time I need to remove a bolt. Its good to know the warranty works well you never know when you will need it! Thanks for commenting I appreciate you! 😉
@@HowToDIYMoore those are just some high ticket items so good timing and I know In a perfect world you would of got everything you needed on the deal! I tried to buy the punches on fathers day because they had some sort of deal that day and they were sold out. They used to be about $45 I should of got them back then! About a year ago or so tekton sent out a mass email saying everything was going up in price from like 10-20% something like that so I got most of my items years ago before all the crazy inflation. Think I paid $55 for the 1/4” set Idr I know it was a lot cheaper. This punch set in the block I got for firearms it’s awesome I used it today. Enjoy your tools merry Christmas
@@nickshowsstuff435 Yep you are exactly right, but were all on a budget unfortunately. Wow that's crazy how the price nearly doubled on such a simple item. Good thing you purchased most of yours prior to the craziness! Thanks again Nick Merry Christmas to you as well!
I like my Tekton tools and they have served me well. I feel they offer great products for the money.
Awesome! I don't think I could agree more! Thanks for commenting!
Just about any tool set in a blow molded case will have the sockets loose in the bottom part of the case, as they figure you'll have the wherewithal to know which side should be on the bottom. If you're working on cars and can diagnose problems, you can probably figure out which side is which before you open it :P
I bought these tools for gardening that's why I had no clue the case was like that. J/k 🤣 I just had a moment and everything filmed was raw and unedited. Thanks for watching
I've quickly become a big fan of Tekton. Started off with the 1/2 inch split-beam torque wrench and have since purchased the same 3/8 set you show here as well as the metric 6-24 wrench set and the 8-27 angle wrench set. Oh, and the metric stubby set also (I think up to 19mm?). Solid tools. No skipped sizes, excellent feel in hand. Cash back when purchased directly, killer warranty policy, and as jnic2003 mentioned they are moving more and more production Stateside. I'm not crazy about their ratchets, but there is nothing wrong with them--I just prefer some things in my ratchets that Tekton doesn't offer or mimic. In the last few months I've become a believer and an owner--these new Tekton products are the real deal.
Well said I did a lot of research prior to purchasing tools - because they are an investment! I feel so far it was a solid decision and I've already used my $153 rewards and spent a lot more on tools. 🤣 All in all I will continue to purchase them! I'm happy they are moving closer and closer to USA manufacturing. Also the no skips with a case can't be beaten. Thanks for commenting I apricate your time and thoroughness.
When you close the case's lift both sides together and open the same straight up open both sides down.
Not a bad tip, thank you! Thanks for commenting!
I have the Tekton flex head racheting wrenches and 14” 1/2 rachet and like both. There warranty is fast and no BS.
Those are defiantly on my list! Its good to know you like them for my sake of purchasing them later. I have found 150% of everyone mention how great their warranty is. Defiantly also very awesome to know. Thanks for commenting!
@@HowToDIYMoore I received a 17mm-19mm long racheting box wrench From Tekton this week after waiting a year. They are coming back in stock.
@@phillipdewitt4454 Ooooooo 🤔! That's awesome defiantly worth the wait! Its on the list 🤣
If you open the cases right side up, no tools will fall out. Cardboard not needed.
Love Tekton tools. Have full sets and have not been able to break any tool.
I love my Tekton tool's too they are great. No problems so far! That's for watching 👀!
I bought Tekton sockets and wrenches about 5-6 years back to supplement my old Craftsman. They're really good and I like them. I also have some Tekton slip joint pliers and those aren't bad either. The teeth are more aggressive than Channelocks and they seem a bit heavier. The unfortunate thing is the price has doubled on everything since I bought mine. They used to be an incredibly good value, not sure where they sit today. But then I also haven't priced out Snap-On. 🙂
That's great they are doing well for you. It is very unfortune that everything has went up. We can't just look at this from a tool point of view. For instance look at real estate. You cannot purchase a house now for the same price you could in the 1920's. If you think Tekton is pricy just take a look at Snap-on, and you will be thankful. Thanks for commenting!
Tekton tools are a better investment than Icon and 100 other box store brands . They are fabulous
Well said! Couldn't agree more with you. 💪💪💪 Thanks for watching and commenting!
The CASE alone is worth the money! It help keep sockets in place. Got me a HUsky set for my truck, sockets come out everytime I open it...Hate it. this is due to cheap case design
I agree the case is nice and I don't mind the cardboard. I would probably prefer the foam insert just because. I have a Husky set as well but its their premium line so it seems to work just fine. Thanks for commenting!
Honestly one of the biggest reasons I'm looking at tekton is the boxes and organization. How have they been holding up for you?
They have been holding up great no problems yet. They are overall awesome tools. For the money I can't complain they get the job done and the warranty is unquestionable. The boxes are great and are well set up and very easy to use. I would recommend to anyone personally. Thanks for watching!
There is no need for the bottom to snap in. If you get the habit if closing it the right way, everything stays intact when closed. I have the 1/4 and 3/8 metric sets. Ive dropped the case a many a times and never did the sockets lost their place.
Ok great feedback! Yes I have come to learn that the layout and setup is quite nice. It has been working great and i haven't had any issues at all. Thanks for watching!
Brooooo! I did the same thing.
After watching all these videos and reviews on Tekton, I’ve decided to upgrade my craftsman/HF tools box. I bought all of the socket sets in Metric and Standard from 4mm to 38mm as well as 5/32 to 1-1/4. With my first purchase I received like $90 in credit which I applied toward the bigger socket set on cyber Monday, not only did I get $90 off the 2nd set but I also got $15 credited back to my account. So now I have all the sockets, no skips, the 3 ratchets, the 2 breaker bars, the 6 extensions and 3 universal joints the 1/4 socket driver and 3 cases for all the tools (almost). Also Tekton didn’t me charge tax or shipping and I got them like 2 days later. I did that all on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Today, I bought the Tekton 10 piece screwdriver set and some more Tekton extensions with a home depot gift card I received for Christmas. Unfortunately, I won’t get any credit for those purchases since it was done through Home Depot online. I also purchased from Tekton today all the other chrome extensions that they had on the website so now I will have all of the extensions too. I’m really liking these Tekton tools, they look so good and well made, plus their haggle free warranty is awesome. I wish they offered the 20% credit all the time.😂
Duuude!!! That's what's up you killed it and got em' all at once. Such a great time to purchase. I ended up using my $153 in rewards and spent another $500-600 🤣 and I'm still scoping out some stuff. Bye Crafstman 👋 👋 I ended up getting more rewards so now I can save again and again. (I think they do it on purpose, but it helps alot.) It won't be long and I will have em' all. Make sure you check out my video (if you haven't) from 1 day or 2 days ago Tekton doing some special stuff right now! Thanks for commenting!
if you open it upside down, it don't matter if you have the board in or not. just open it right and you ok. I am Tekton fanboy
Yeah at first it threw me off, but now after using the set it works out very well. I like the sets alot and appreciate the layout for sure. I love the tekton stuff. What tools do you have if theirs? Thanks alot for watching!
I have all of the 3/8 and 1/2 inch hand sockets and some impacts also, all on rails no room for the boxes. About half of the ratchets and plier sets. Several sets of the L hex keys, love those, and of course screwdrivers, pry bars. I have a 1/4 socket set still complete from craftsman from many moons ago. Don't use wrenches much, but have old craftsman sets.
Dang sounds like a great assortment of tools. I am slowly trying to accumulate what I need. It always feels good to get another one so you can complete another job with ease, but there is always another one needed for another job. @@shtika
I have the 1/4 & 3/8 socket sets and love them. I use them as an autobody tech. I'm curious as to how well the wrenches do, they are my next purchase from them. As others have stated, you don't need to keep the cardboard in the cases if you open & close it properly. Do use a favor when you record these style videos and zoom the camera out just a tad so we can see a little more, thanks.
Yeah I can't explain how inoing it is to need a wrench or socket and you don't have it then you have to drive to the store in the middle of a project or whatever. So I just purchased both sets. The quality seems really great. I am filming with a S21+ and to get the 4k quality it won't let me zoom in I will definitely work on it, thanks for the pointer. Also my led lights in my shop cause the phone screen to flicker when recording so I had to turn off one and that's why the video is a little darker on the right side. I am trying to work through everything with what money and resources I have currently. I promise it will get better! Thanks for commenting!
Been using the 6mm -32mm set for roughly a year and a half. It's a great set. Only thing that is a minor inconvenience is when I'm doing wheel alignments 13mm and smaller wrenches slip on the tie rods
@@giovannirodriguez4216 Have you tried or thought of getting the inch drive set? Maybe that would help for the slipping... Thanks for commenting!
i have their 3/4 ratchet and the 2 screws holding the retaining plate i had to put some blue loctite on other than that i use it all the time and have had no issues, i really like their tools, will be replacing my snap on sockets with tektons rather than pay 30 bucks a socket to replace my missing snap on ones
Ok nice tip. I agree I couldn't swallow the amount just for one socket when these have a lifetime warranty and no hassle replacement. The warranty process looks to be a breeze as well. Thanks for commenting!
Congratulations brother, you definitely bought yourself some very good quality tools. I was excited for you when watching you open them. For the money, warranty and CS it is hard to beat Tekton.
I broke a socket using a 4' bar on a rusted ball hitch nut. I actually got it loose but upon inspection noticed a Crack. Contracted them, sent a picture and 3 days later had a new socket . No questions asked.
I have their red hard handle screwdrivers and I love the feel of them. Plus they are American made. They continue to add more and more tools to in house manufacturing.
The socket case issue. Do not open it up side down, WHY?. Only the lid needs the tools to be secured. The latch is on the lid, it's not a flaw. If you open it up side down that cardboard will also fall out.
Again, Congratulations on your new tool haul.
Edit, they do offer a rack for the larger wrenches.
THANK'S Randy! I couldn't agree more. I have yet to meet one person or see anywhere where they haven't honored their warranty. Nor has anyone had any hassles. True hassle free warranty. I think at some point everyone will break a tool so its a great piece of mind to purchase from a GREAT company. I may jump on the screwdriver bandwagon soon... I just need to recoup and save some money. I also will be looking into the bigger wrench holders as well; maybe next purchase. Great tip. In the mean time I still have more videos that will be out soon with more tools... 🤣😉 I appreciate YOU 🫵 taking your time to comment, and watching.
Ps: It was 25 degrees out when I filmed this series in my shed and I am thankful the video came out at least halfway decent. 🤣
@@HowToDIYMoore
Lol, at 25° yes it is. I understand building up the funds, you dropped a sizeable amount with that purchase.
I started looking into Tekton with their screwdrivers and then bought some of the other sets for truck carry.
The 3/8 set and the 38 PC wrench set, some screwdrivers, pliers and pick set. They have exceeded my expectations so far.
@@randysmith9636 🤣 I had to add, lol. I have lots more on the wish list and more in the cart already. Good thing we get rewards for purchasing directly as well because that defiantly helps. That's great to know the tools are doing you right!
I like Tekton. I think they have one of the best balances of price and quality. You can get better than Tekton, but not by that much, and you'll pay a huge premium for a small increase in quality.
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it is best just to be in the middle. At least they haven't sacrificed price or quality. Thanks for commenting!
Tekton is amazing I have everything they make and I’ve only broke the 3/8 breaker bar.
Awesome feedback! Its diffidently addicting to buy more until you get them all. Thanks for commenting!
Not all are made in the USA. You have to look at the tool description to see where it’s made unfortunately
Yes sir. When ordering you can find out like you said under the description of each specific item. It would be great to have a 💯 USA made brand that wasn't crazy overpriced.
I been using tekton tools for about 4 years and I run a small shop in Missouri and like them actually I just bought there new flex head comfort grip ratchet last week
Awsome! My first impression is great. I love the fact that we can still buy USA or for the most part affiliated with the USA. In fact I just bought some more 🤣❕️ More videos coming soon 🤫🤣
Im sorry, if the only "flaw" is the fact the case isnt a lock in style then I think you are good bud. I own all three sizes tekton in the case and two impact in the case. Never had an issue dumping them out becasue I opened them properly and I wouldnt try to close them with the socket side first. Ive had two other brand sets with the case. The "bottom" side of the box is almost never a lock in style. Just my two cents.
After using these tools for a considerable amount of time, I no longer perceive the mentioned aspect as a flaw. These cases are meticulously designed, and I am immensely pleased with the overall product. Please note that the footage you are viewing is unedited, unfiltered, and raw. Additionally, when I recorded this video, I was in my shed, and the temperature was approximately 30 degrees. Tekton is my preferred brand for tools, and I am thoroughly satisfied with their products. Thank you for watching.💪✌️
Yes tekton is great! grand Rapids Michigan.
I agree!!!
I took the card board out of mine and had no issues
Ok cool good to know! I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet. It seems to be ok in mine for now. I may end up removing later. Thanks for watching!
You dont need the cardboard, just make sure you open the top, I've had this set for years, never had any sockets move
Yes I have discovered it over time. When I first made the video It wasn't clear to me because everything is different when your recording and doing something else at the same time. It's an awesome set for sure. I am very happy I purchased this set. Thank you for watching! 💪 P.s. Just curious what is your favorite tool from Tekton?
@@HowToDIYMoore The sockets, about 5 years ago Meijer carried Tekton and decided to stop so they put everything on a crazy clearance sale, I picked up a bunch of socket sets very cheap. Since then I have been a fan and ordered these socket sets you have about a year later
@@tmghn1 Dang what a steel deal! I'm assuming you have the 6 point which are very nice. They seem to fit very well. I have some other random sockets which always seen to never be right and have some wiggle room. These defiantly have been snug and dependable every time. The case is set up very well I don't really have any complaints. These are my favorite as well.
instead of keeping the cardboard, just open and close it in the correct orientation and they won't all fall out.
🤣 Not a bad idea!
I just came across your video I own just about every tekton. But the cases are meant to be open topside up hence the reason why everything on the top lid slaps in
Haha yes I figured that out. 🤣 Remember this was an unboxing and I had no clue because these were new to me at the time. Every manufacture is completely different in how they do things. Sometimes you just never know. I was playing it safe. I imagine you like Tekton assuming because you have everything just about they have to offer. Thanks for commenting and watching.
I dont want the sockets to be held in. I hate having to fight the case every time I want to pull a socket out. Just open ans close it correctly and you're good. You'll only open it the wrong way once.
I agree with you 💯! It is very easy to get them out when your busy! I also hate when you need a tool and can't get it out. Thanks for commenting Ryan.
That set would have cost you close to $10,000.00 if you bought Snap-on.
I know its crazy... and to think these have a lifetime guarantee as well. These will work great for me. Thanks for watching!!!
Now that they're bumping prices again this year I'm looking elsewhere. The time of gouging consumers with "pricing power" is long past.
It's unfortunate, but everyone is price gouging to an extent. Realistically eggs are $7-$8 per dozen and so on. Everyone is really being affected.
I have the same wrench set and the holders I kinda want the wrench roll up pouches..
Ya I agree... I have had them in my cart since they came out. I will get them eventually.
There great for most users. That being said I rely on my tools everyday and it's mostly mac for me. I've got all brands of tools. My mac dealer is awesome! If I broke something or need something fast he has brought me stuff multiple times same day! I know I can buy most same tools elsewhere for less money but can't beat his service. Use whatever makes you happy no matter the brand.
I couldn't agree more with you! In your situation you have an awesome relationship with your mac dealer. It isn't like that for everyone of course; so that is where it depends on each and everyone's circumstances. Thanks for your comment!
I bought the tekton no skip deep 1/2 drive socket set and they seem to be well made. My only complaint was that they have the deep broaching so a nut will fall all the way down the cuts, but I’m splitting hairs.
All blow bolder cases stink, I’m with you on that one
I still think in general it is a great set for the money and having no skips is key 🗝️. Do you have the 6 point or 12 point set? Thanks for your time and your comment.
@@HowToDIYMoore I went with the 6 point and have served me well so far!
@@zackjablonski Awesome great to hear!!
I remember when I started out I turned with craftsman stuff, I would have other new techs want to borrow my sockets just for this reason, at the time besides craftsman - husky or Sk was the go to away from tool truck brands and didn’t have that deep broaching and couldn’t remove a lot of the starter / alternator bolts and such that were stud mounted. That’s kinda why I tried a few of the tekton sockets just for this reason. Back then ratcheting wrenches wasn’t a thing and nobody wanted to use a wrench if a socket could do the trick easier. The other thing is them hard to reach areas it holds the bolt in so as not to drop and lose it removing or installing it. Measure the pluses and minuses … I’ve found I go to the deeper sockets most of the time if I have a choice… each tech to their own really …
@@name242 Well said and great input, thanks!
Crazy, the 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 combo socket set was only $375 less than 2 years ago. Shows how much stuff has really gone up.
Yes, I know it is getting a little ridiculous (not Tekton specifically, but all prices everywhere in general). I have been affected in every single aspect of living with cost. Thank you for commenting!
All them stimy checks really fucked us
That's why I bit the bullet and ordered 3/8socket set for the house.
I myself have and really like the 3/8 complete socket set and I bought the 1/2 Dr deep socket sets separate for sae and metric and I bought the SAE and metric combination wrench sets those came from Amazon as did the metric deep sockets in 1/2 Dr wrench set of metric I believe only goes to 27mm I got a deal on them that's why I bought those, and project karr on TH-cam and tony the technician TH-cam channel both use and really enjoy most of tekton's tools, and as for the wrench holder you know you can get the wrench roll up pouch for the entire sets of the SAE and the one for the metric I think they sell for about $16 a pouch?!
Ok awesome! I'm glad you like your Tekton tools!. So far I am real happy with them. I will be doing update videos with the tools at a later point too. I will also have a video coming out sometime soon on the wrench holder agenda... stay tuned for that. Thank you very much for commenting and sharing with us Richard!
Great video! This video has helped my husband get the right tools. 😆
Awesome!! Did you actually watch the video or was it him watching the video? 🤣🤣 Thanks for commenting!
Always need a good slap in the hand with the wrench to feel the quality nice job man.
I know if you don't do it u aren't doing it right! 🤣 Thanks I appreciate you!
I seen that texton socket set at a flee market for 80$ I didn't think it was worth it I have never used a 3/8 breaker bar I always use a 1/2 inch drive break it loses then use a 3/8 ratchet didn't find it practical I prefer a tool box that has 3/8 and 1/2
Dude, that's a great deal! It would have been totally worth it. I get what you mean, but sometimes you just gotta make a tool for those weird, small jobs. You never know when you might need it... They are awesome tools, tho. Thanks for watching
U possibly look into kaizen foam for the tools
No I don't have a box yet soooo.... I'm just trying to piece everything together. Its very Expensive non the less. 🤣
@HowToDIYMoore yes i have three toolboxes 🧰 pretty much full
@@ragincajungarage 💰💰💰💰💰💰 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@HowToDIYMoore yes well over 5 to 6k
Enjoyed the video, the snap gag was funny!
Thank you! I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch my video, and leave a positive comment!
The icon flexhead ratcheting wrenches are also beastly.
Hummmm... Coming soon... haha 🤣🤣➡➡💪💪
Have you ever got bound up with your ratcheting wrenches to where you couldn't back off because the wrenches only turn one way? Say your in a very tight circumstance and you can't go forward or backwards and now the wrench is stuck. Hopefully this make sense, this is why I am considering doing the ones that go in reverse as well. Just wondering your thoughts.
You mean the ones that have a switch?
@@alcerz984 Yes, so you can go either direction.
Well all the tools made are made for certain situations thats for sure.
Tekton Tool Roll! 🤟
@@wildwoodtop The only way to go 🤣💪🤙🤟
Bucket Boss Hawk Tuah Tool Roll Gal! 🤟only way to go 🤣
LOL 🤣 With Tekton tools 🤝🤌🤣
If you open the case the way it is clearly intended to open and not like a dumb@ss you wouldn’t have to worry about them falling out but for some reason you seem to be confused on what side is the bottom of the case and what side is the top
I hope you feel better! 🤙 You forgot to add periods, commas and your sentence is a run on sentence. FYI 😉 Please note not everyone is to your standards. Thanks for watching me NOT know how to open tools!
No need to be a POS buddy.
Thanks Bud! 💪
I have some Tekton tools. Haven't used them much but I have a video out on what I have.
What is your go to brand if you don't use the Tekton much? Thanks for commenting!
@@HowToDIYMoore I have a little bit of everything, Snap-on, Gearwrench, Craftsman, Pittsburgh, Maximum/Masterforce and my main set of chrome sockets is a set of Bostitch. I have a video on all that too.
Ok cool bro I'll check it out! 👌
I picked up some tekton tools at 50% off when miejers stopped carrying this brand.
That's cool not a bad steal for sure! That's the best deal you will find anywhere. Thanks for commenting!
they look like they’re good quality
Yeah they are very nice from first impression, and the price wasn't too bad for a mechanic set. I purchased more and will have more videos coming real soon if you would like to see some more. Thanks for watching I appreciate you!
I like the flip socket set.
I don’t have any other Tekton tools.
Well that's a great start, so far I am super pleased with my Tekton Tools! Thanks for commenting!
Did you do a one year later review?
I have not done one yet, but I am planning to do one. Thanks for watching 🤙
Short answer: yes.
Agreed!
Nice set up. That's not bad price for all the
Seems like the best bang for the buck out there for sure! Thanks for commenting! 💪💪
@@HowToDIYMoore np I subscribed also. We have channel also
@@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147 Thanks I really appreciate the support 🙏 I will have check out your channel as well.
@@HowToDIYMoore np. Thank you
@@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147 Your welcome
Awesome

They are all the same, you just need an excuse to buy it.
Haha no excuse necessary, just buy it. 🤣
get a mic so you can be heard
I am working on that and much more currently. That is part of the growing pains. I have already been prospecting for one... Thanks for watching!
Not headphone friendly
No headphones weren't used in the making of this video. 🤣
6 point sockets, 12 point wrenches... 🙄😖😬
A little variety 🤣
They are very nice but overpriced AF
What isn't anymore? Not compared to some of the predecessors. Thanks for commenting!
you really need to speak up
Any more speaking up and I will be YELLING. Then everyone will say I'm talking too loud! 🤣 Oh well....
Lost a little credibility when you didn't realize the loose side is meant to be the side that is stationary and you close from the tight side.
We all have our days... Its a little different when your filming.
Let me give you a pointer. No one is interested in the packaging, or unpackaging!
*Correction, Gary B 🫵 isn't interested. If you would have looked at the 1st word of the title "UNBOXING" you would known to keep scrolling. Whether you like it or not unboxing videos are some of the most popular and trendy videos currently available. P.s. If no one wants to see this video (or this type) why does it have 19,500+ views and 300+ likes?
Wasted money on the sockets … the sockets do not hold up to professional use.
What happened to the sockets if you don't mind me asking? Also they do offer a lifetime replacement warranty to cover defects or damage. Thanks for commenting!
Interesting. My sockets have held up pretty well and I worked 6 days a week for a good half year
@@giovannirodriguez4216 Even if they broke no questions asked they would be replaced FREE. That's why I was wondering what was so bad about their's.
Had mine for almost 2 years still looking good. I’m a mobile mechanic 7 days a week
@@drew5992 Awesome to hear! Is this the only brand you have, and is it your go to?
