I like the fact that this man is showing us real used tools. Tried and true not some tool collector show of brand new tools that we have no idea if the actually hold up well.
Greatly appreciate that . I try to use and abuse my tools to see what holds up and what doesn't granted some get used a lot more than other but none the less there is a home for every tool and a tool for every home. Thanks for watching
Agreed! It's like most things, don't judge a book by its cover...you need seat time to determine quality and performance over a period of time. As for the "tool collectors" I'd say this, don't watch their content! Watch guys like @Classic Lines Auto to get the perspective that you're looking for...
@Midwest Tool Review greatly appreciate the comment man . Don't get me wrong I love the tool collectors gives me ideas to go broke over down the road but once again greatly appreciate the support.
@@classiclinesautomotive I appreciate that! I think people make comments before their brains cells catch-up to what they're saying...lol Nonetheless, anything in life that is worth spending money on, requires research before committing. I like to watch creators that some would consider to be "tool collectors" because you get to see what is new and exciting. If I want to know how well a tool will hold up, I'll defer to watching a professional mechanic/technician, one of which I know has a demanding job, requiring tools to perform each and every day. That's just how I work through the process of determining what to consider buying...
The fact that this guy has a bad ass, snap on box and other snap on tools, but is still willing to endorse a different tool that would be considered budget speaks volumes to me. This is the kind of guy whose opinion I would take seriously.
The way I see it is each brand have thier strengths and weaknesses. I love snap on screw drivers and ratchets .do I own other brands absolutely . Snap on has nice pry bars but I like the mayhews better . Price is great and same with quality . Appreciate the awesome comment thanks for being a part of the channel
I greatly appreciate it. I'd rather keep my integrity and hold true for the people that have made this channel what it is. With that being said thank you and to everyone else that reads this comment
Tekton is a great choice in my opinion. I also like how they have the bigger sizes in wrenches and sockets. So a truck / Fleet mechanic like myself can get the bigger sizes. my favorite tool from them so far is the angle wrenches and the chisels ..
I've been looking into picking up a set of thier chisels I'm still using my harbor frieght set that I've had for years .I'm wanting to purchase thier bigger wrenches and I love the fact you can purchase sets of them . I cannot complain about thier product line one bit. Thanks for the support brother.
just bought a craftsman 10drawer workbench and loaded my craftsman cube i've had for years now into it...just a diy'er...needed something to keep in pickup, so went with tekton 3/8 and1/4 socket sets and wrenches with pouch standard and metric and everything fits under my backseat...the no skip and warranty was the seller for me...couldn't be happier.
I have the Tekton 1/4 & 3/8 socket sets and love them. I also get student prices while being in the autobody collision & repair class at the community College. I'm eyeing the torque wrenches as my next purchase. The no skips was key for me as well.
Glad to hear your loving tekton products and use that discount as much as you can . Granted don't go broke buying tools . Thier torque wrenches are pretty decent . I want the new line up of torque wrenches they have. Best of luck to you in school and enjoy the industry wishing you success.
I also just started buying tekton tool screw drivers pliers and ratchets sockets and torque wrenches and bit sets I used ther 1/2 torque wrench and it broke first time using it on a lug nut sent them pictures of it and they sent a new one out in 2 days i got it no questions asked Absolutely great warrenty and craftsmanship Great video man keep them coming 👍 👌 👏 💪
I’m a huge fan of tekton tools. I have a second hand set of wrenches and they’re awesome. Have a lot of their impact sockets. Just bought their crows feet, 4 way angle wrenches and 3/4 drive impact sockets
I try to do as much research as I can on something between you tube and tool forums and Facebook. I try to buy the best quality tools for a decent price sometimes you find a diamond in the ruff
Great video. I used to be a big fan of SK, but now I'm not sure how their quality and warranty will be after the sale, so now I'm buying a lot of Tekton tools now. I think they are an awesome tool company
I’ve been using some of the tekton tools I have for almost 15 years, I’ve broken a few but they hold to their warranty very well. I have a few that I still use quite often but over the last few years I’ve been fazing them out, giving them to my younger brother who is just getting into this industry and replacing them with snapon. I actually am not a fan of their ratchets except for a folding one I included in a comment left on an earlier video. If you want to get a ratchet that isn’t a tool truck brand then go with gearwrench. But I do mostly agree that tekton does a good job with their product and does an amazing job pricing them. Keep up the awesome content and stay greasy
I would say your younger brother is lucky to have you hooking him up .I'm almost tempted to buy a tekton ratchet and see how quick it breaks kinda want to do a tekton vs icon type thing maybe add in another brand and just beat on them for a month and see what happens .I have some gear wrench ratchets that I have had for years and they serve thier purpose I've learned though for ratchets I go directly for snap on. Thanks for the comment my man and keep wrenchin
@@classiclinesautomotive You should! Get a tekton and an icon that are as close to the same as you can, and make sure they are ones a professional would get and do a weekly short video update on what your thoughts are. So I would get like the full length 3/8 flex head with the metal handle, that would be a really fun video. Then maybe at the end of those videos, take the one you liked the best and compare it to a gearwrench that’s the same basic design and do a string of videos like that. You could get a lot of content for short videos that would really help new technicians get a ratchet that is more affordable then a tool truck brand like snapon.
@jonathon mcmurray that's a fantastic idea I guess I'm gonna have to make a harbor frieght trip and make an order to tekton . Possible just buy a new gearwrench one and see what comes out on top
@@classiclinesautomotive I’m really excited to see what you come up with! I personally think it’s just worth spending the money on a snapon ratchet even for new guys, but some guys just can’t afford it, and there is nothing wrong with that. So some education that is based on some experience from a full time technician, could really help them out. Let me know if you ever set up a patron thing, these kinds of videos are something I would be happy to pitch in a little for.
@@McMotors99 I greatly appreciate the support . I'll probably start placing orders from tekton this weekend and make a harbor frieght run sometime this week . It's been an extremely busy two weeks or so .
I really like Tekton also I have some of their sockets and a 1/2 inch torque wrench and a 3/8 breaker bar what I really like about them is they make good quality tools at an affordable price there’s just no way I can ever afford Snap On tools I know their USA made but they cost way more than their worth and to me it’s not worth paying more for something than it’s actually worth there’s so many other good tool brand options besides Snap On.
I have a husky master extension set that's held up great over the years . And sunex I can not complain one bit .also love my gearwrench tools . Not a fan of the gear wrench ratchet wrenches with the open end head profile. But over all fantastic tools
Well they should sponsor you, because you just made me buy some of their tools off their website! Their prices are unbelievably affordable! Thanks for sharing.
@@classiclinesautomotive I ordered some of their 3/4 inch accessories for those pesky crank bolts or wheel nuts that I occasional come across. Don't do those a lot, but I couldn't resist the prices of Tekton. It's so affordable that it's worth getting for the toolbox. Later I may get their whole 3/4 inch socket sets. thanks so much for your videos. I like your style and presentations, keep it up!
Thank you very much a sponsor would be awesome but I'm just doing the youtube thing to put info how to help fellow techs . Honestly all the sponsor nonsense I speak is just my sad attempt at humor . Would be cool though keep wrenching and thanks for the comment
I went with Tekton when craftsman went to China and there were warranty issues not being taken care of. I have their socket set, impacts sockets and a few other tools.
I love all my Tekton stuff. I break my 3/8 breaker bar once a month and they fix it no problem, also shipping the head it takes 2 days at most. One thing I have noticed if you use the chrome sockets on impacts they can take a beating. (you should not but we all do it) I have every Tekton chrome socket and every open end wrench they make. I went with Capri for bit sockets and Sunex for impact sockets. I did the snap on thing and have sense sold all my snap on. It’s just not worth buying snap on, Matco or Mac anymore. unless it’s Mac rbrt stuff.
Small hex keys walk away I make sure I put the entire set back in the box and even after dumping out my tool box dust and using a magnet I can't find em.
Since I found Koken, Nepros, KTC Knipex.. I will never need to try anymore Tecton,, channel locks, vise grip, husky, Cobalt ever again. The most of this stuff is not that much more expensive than with the exception of maybe Nepros, Vessel ,Tone and KTC. Both of these manufacturers I think one makes the other are far better than even snap on, Mac, macro, Cornwell and any of these other high-end tool manufacturers that drive their trucks to your auto shop.
Nice tools and if you loose a piece of a set you can replace the one you lost with is great for me so I don’t have to buy a whole set to find one piece to keep all my sets complete
I'm glad you been happy with them . How long have you had them . Also what side of the industry are you in . Can't go wrong with snap on sockets either . That's all that's in my roll cart.
@@classiclinesautomotive I’m in auto as of now, I’ve had the Tekton sockets for a little over a year. I never needed them until I transitioned away from the dealerships. I’ve recently been thinking about switching to heavy equipment as the CAT dealer is like 10 minutes up the road from my house, but having no diesel experience I’d have to take a massive pay cut just to get my foot in the door
@AutoMedic I would honestly say go for it talk to the service manager and see what he has to say . You might lose some money at first but end game I think you will be better off .at the very least a conversation could point you in the right direction or open new doors .I'm not one hundred percent but I believe cat has an awesome training program at least from what I've heard a few years ago from guys that have worked there. I love working on equipment . I feel it's easier than automotive. It's definitely heavier and a different theory to it with hydraulics and diesel but it is worth it
I would say they're a great wrench to have . Are you dealing with a ton of messed up fasteners or they just froze up with rust . To be honest I haven't had to deal with rust since I was a teenager years ago so I'm kinda spoiled in that sense . But I would recommend the flank drive.
I have owned a set of Tekton metric deep well impact sockets (15 piece) that cost me just over $40.00 three years ago. A current identical set from Snap-on is $560.00. Don't get me wrong, Snap-on tools are superb and the every day mechanics like the truck coming to their shop, but a price difference of a 1300% increase in cost is hard to swallow
I own the 3/8 ratchet set and Im considering getting their box end wrench set as well. I want to get SK tools cause my dad, grandpa and some family friends all use them and they all swear by SK. Mind you they got those tools 30 plus years ago so im sure the tools have changed since then but if they all swear by em thats what im buyin, no questions. Tekton is in my budget and from what ive experienced they have good quality so thats what im buyin till i can afford SK or Mac or Matco
Definitely a good brand to go with I love my tekton stuff and finding s/k tolls is getting harder and harder for me to find . However there was a tool truck in my area I think USA tools that had them but they wanted a ridiculous amount of money for the wrenches
@@classiclinesautomotive when I looked the metric and standard sets were about $350 a pop. I aint spendin no $700. I know theyre good but I dont make my livelyhood with those wrenches, theyre gonna be used primarily for my hobbies and my personal vehicle maintenance. I just want a quality brand so I only have to buy em once. But in pretty sure ill stick with Tekton for the time being. They havent let me down yet
How does tekton compare to Matco? I have some Matco stuff but I believe they are just rebranded stuff and not always made in the USA so are they actually better than tekton?
Yea man but their quality has also gone up. And overall with inflation and cost of living going up it was expected but overall still a great company and tools.
I switched to Tekton in 2016 for all my new tools needs. I restore old cars as a hobby. and i would spend money on my current project than buying overpriced tool truck brand tools. however, the stuff that is available to the home DIY mechanic form the big box stores is crap. craftsman was made by the Stanley Tool Works Division of Stanly Black and Decker up until around 1992. STW also made Blackhawk and Proto industrial tools. but then craftsman went to hell when they switched suppliers to China. I have not tried the new Stanley Black make ones at Lowes yet. Kobalt is a dying brand now Lowes pick up craftsman. Kobalt was made by William tool the company that makes Snap-on, but Lowes switched around 2008 to JS products. the Williams Tool made stuff was as good as Snap-On, but then switch to JS products for their importer and quality went to straight to hell. the harbor freight Pittsburg line has always been junk, and downright dangerous in some cases. I have not tried the new icon stuff. but I love my Tekton stuff and have no reason to switch. I have my old Pittsburg stuff the wrecking yards, so if it gets stolen or lost, I don't care. Tekton is in the perfect price point for me as a hobbyist that enjoys restoring old cars. the cool quality is as good as, or better than the tool trucks, but a cost on part with Gear Wrench or other mid-tier tool manufactures. i have yet to break.
I absolutely agree on some of the Pittsburg and harborfreight stuff being dangerous lol. Tekton really caught my attention about 5 years ago and turning wrenches professionally with thier product and even abusing thier products time to time I have to say they are awesome the price point is excellent and quality and finish is superb . Very cool that you restore classic cars for a hobby what are you working on now
@Classic Lines Automotive My current project is a 1971 Camaro SS 396 4Speed. I just got the block back from the machine shop, and I am starting the rebuild today. I did the transmission and rear end last month. So, almost back to running and driving shape. Then it's of the body shop for a new coat of paint
I totally agree with you on that . However in my opinion I like comfort in the hand . I can use craftsman wrenches or Stanley screw drivers . How they feel bother me . I hate blue point ratchets any time I use one of mine I think to myself why haven't I tossed this in the trash . Needless to say you can absolutely get by with whatever you have .
All my 3/4 drive impact sockets are sunex , I have yet to break one since I got them almost 15 years ago. And believe me, it’s not for a lack of trying lol
Glad to hear that . Love abusing tools kinda fun pushing them to the breaking point . That's the nice thing about tekton having an awesome warranty process .have you tried any of thier other products?
@@classiclinesautomotive I have not I have a HF on my way home so most of my sockets come from there. My 15/16 only last about 3 months getting hammered on red hot nuts is hard on sockets. I will be buying more of Tekton 3/4 sockets.
I have Tekton sockets and ratchets. They are holding up great. Everybody talks about their guarantee. I've witnessed some TH-cam torture test vids and their stuff holds up as good as high dollar stuff. Everybody that uses them gives them positive reviews. What more can you say?
Tekton has a very good warranty, you try and tell the snap on etc bout it and they say “it’s the abused” Tekton are “ snap a pic and we will send you a new one while you keep that old one that didn’t work with us” Meaning in keep that crap one and we send you a new one. I replaced a 1/4 ratchet and 3/8 nearly no questions ask I like them I had them well over 4 years now so yeah tekton all the way down Like what “classics” has said
When do my research before I bought from them that was a big deciding factor along with your 10% back on purchase through thier website . I haven't used thier ratchets yet. But I'm planning on buying one soon along with an icon and gearwrench and just using them and pushing them .to see what works best ,which one fails and so on . Thanks for watching. Also happy holidays and merry christmas
I can't say as I have any of their stuff but it seems to be good quality stuff. Big thing is it's minimally made in China it says 1% on their website. I do my best to stay away from Chinese stuff just because. Sounds like they have a good warranty process as well and that is a big big deal. Also noticing about skips I hate skips because sooner or later you will find a fastener for every single size socket. If a set comes without certain sockets I will buy them to make sure I have the complete set. Anyhow if I'm in a place where they're selling stuff and they've got something that I could use I will certainly look into buying it.
I absolutely hate buying skipped sets drives me insane . I want everything same brand and on the same rail. I think they make 74 percent in Taiwan and 22 percent In the u.s and I'm OK with that . Totally worth a look . Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoyed the video
@@classiclinesautomotive yes good video as always. Yeah I saw the breakdown and everything looks good to me they said only 1% in China and it's like okay I can handle that. Skips tell me that the people doing the manufacturing don't realize that there are Fasteners out there of all shapes and sizes regardless of what they think
@SpaceCat72 yeah with skipped tools it's just bothersome due to if I want to buy a set of wrenches and then there isn't any room to add in that particular holder and we'll it just passes me off .lol.what can you do though
@@classiclinesautomotive I guess it's all the extra homework right I think we thought that homework would end when we left school haha it never does. That's one of the things that bothers me about certain systems of organization is they do not easily allow for expansion. I always cut my rails extra long in case sockets are added. Shark teeth have Extra Spaces just in case but there comes a point where like you know you run out of drawer. The guys with the foam cutouts they look cool but it's like it's going to be hell when you have to expand
I have been buying Tekton over the last 5 years and I have a ton of tools from them now. I love the tools, warrenty is great but the damn tool boxes are ridiculous in price, wtf lol. Guess I’m keeping alot of my Tekton tools in my is general😢
I was looking at the tekton boxes when they first came out . They look cool but like you said thier prices are crazy .however I absolutely love thier hand tools
The tool boxes are made by a company in Canada that makes high quality industrial boxes. I’ve heard they are much better than any of the box store brands including Icon boxes which are fairly expensive too
Tekton, Gearwrench, Sunex, Capri, even Bluepoint are manufactured offshore. In the end, it comes down to materials and design. If the material is strong and the design holds up, not much to differentiate one brand from another. Then, you consider price, which is more than likely what most people use as a deciding factor. Cr-Mo and Cr-V doesn’t change from supplier to supplier, so you’re not gaining much from supplier-to-supplier. I prefer Capri wrenches over all other sub-tier brands. The MAC precision torque wrenches are probably the best offshore manufactured wrench you could buy, but price is higher. In the end, not worth persuading one brand over another because the deciding factors that govern which brand someone will pick will differ from person to person…
Actually Cr-V and cr-mo can change from brands. If you look on tektons site on the 87 piece impact set. They gave two different Cr-V's used, one on most the sockets and one for the extensions.
@@jnic2003 sure, you can tweak the chemistry, but what most manufactures do is change the heat treatment cycle.. After spending several years in the metallurgical industry, I know how a slight change in temperature, time and dwell can make a major contribution to the performance of steel. That said, changes to the chemical composition are impactful, but heat treating makes all the difference!!
@@alcerz984 Yes. I think the ICON stuff is made by Kabo, or at least the ratcheting wrenches are...but I believe their standard wrenches are made by INFAR, which I believe also makes Tekton wrenches, so in that regard, yes they are similar in that a single manufacturer is responsible for producing both brands...
Wrenches are not bad … a lot of the other stuff doesn’t hold up over any amount of time … so buy two of each while waiting for the warranty to clear shipping
My opinion is the sockets are too soft and don’t hold up over time. Yes any maker of any socket over time will wear out, but I don’t see it with my other sockets that I spent the bank on. I bought a few 12 point sockets to pair with torque wrenches (tekton) for some special drive line work. Don’t use them that much but a couple times a day. Over the course of a few months I end up stripping out the points … 55 on the torque which in my field isn’t a lot of torque. The torque wrench might hold up a year but is starting to feel loose and have play on it which again should be warranted. The thing with testing the torque and break away is that it is not real world … everyday use in my opinion is the real test. I’ve got gearwrench that’s held up longer and I consider them throwaway sockets
I have a few tectin tools but then i found Koken, Knipex, PB Swiss, Bacho, Vessel. I prefer the higher quality tools. They just feel a little bit better in your hands and are much bigger pleasure to use. However if you can get what you want done with Tekton, good for you.
My only complaint with tekton is their impact torx. They're soft and twist off easily. I'm pretty sure the hammers are rebranded trusty cook. The warranty is excellent. I think I sent them a fb message to warranty a ratchet. I didn't bother to warranty the torx socket.
I haven't used thier torque bits good to know on that . I find the ratchet I have bought from them is OK but not my go to . I really enjoy thier wrenches and sockets
@Nathan R. I bought the sunex impact torx when my matco guy couldn't warranty my MacBook torx that day. It broke faster than my chrome Pittsburgh. Torx seems to be the only thing I can't find that's reliable in cheaper brands.
Was never a tool truck person as I was never a professional but love my old craftsman tools and was very excited that they were going to bring forging back to the USA in their Texas plant and I held off buying a complete set of tools for around two years waiting for them to finally launched their usa-made line. And then came the news that they were actually going to close the Texas plant and not make wrenches and sockets and such in the USA. I was pretty pissed when I heard that and that's when I decided to go all tekton and not look back. For hand tools anyway. All of my impact sockets are Sunex.
I would.say it would be a level.above craftsman as far as finish and product feel . As far as wrenches and sockets they have hamdled.everything I have thrown at them
@@classiclinesautomotive thanks. My wife actually picked it out. I live in northeast Ohio and all the old stuff is rusted out. But I used to do side work for a guy who would go out west and buy old trucks and jeeps a few dozen at a time and sell the out here. It was a cool gig got to play with a lot of old trucks
To be honest I never paid attention to who brought the product didn't know if it was FedEx or ups. Just for my own curiosity what the deal with FedEx being their carrier ?
@@classiclinesautomotive I’m not sure about in merica but here in Canada unless you live in the city the service just suck, they will send it to 3 hours away from where I live then they send it with another company witch they won’t say who ,when it will come and it will be impossible to track or anything. My last package (about 1000$ worth of tools) is a week late and no way I can find anyone to help me. It’s pretty much a hope it will show up
Yeah to be honest when I saw those I stayed away . I first went with gearwrench screwdriver they're not terrible then went back with snap on. What's your favorite tool from them
@@classiclinesautomotive I agree the combination wrenches are pretty great. I got the sets that come in the roll-up carrier things. I also like their 6-pt socket sets. The ratchets that came in the sets are pretty basic but no complaints about them
@mlevenha yeah definitely not a huge fan of thier ratchets I think I have the ones I got I thier set in my other tool box in storage .the wrenches I think are amazing .
Tekton tools are great for the price, excellent sets available and tools available individually as well if you misplace something or it grows legs and disappears. Their warranty and customer service is top notch. I've filled out the form online twice times from my phone. Once was a bad pair of pliers Lowes sold me online and wanted me to drive 2+hrs each way to return them. I reached out to Tekton and had a new pair in my mailbox 3 days later. I've also warrantied a deadblow hammer I wrecked pounding on 100 1/2" socket head bolts. I very much admitted to abusing the tool and they sent me a new one that showed up a few days later. Both times I snapped 2-3 photos, went on the website, submitted the form and provided a shipping address and a new tool was in the mail quicker than it took for me to write this comment. I'll also add the deadblow was a size they no longer make and they sent me the next size up. I would love a set of their ratchet wrenches when they become available again. Great tools, good price, great service, they're making an effort to manufacture in the US when it's cost effective. All very good things. My only gripe is that I ordered impact socket sets on the rails and they came with metric on the red rail and sae on the black rail. Typically sae is red when both sets are present. It took me a half an hour and two beers to swap everything around to my liking. That is my only complaint I can come up with. And it's arguably just personal preference. Anyways, buy them on the website to get the 10% back and prompt free shipping, sometimes they give 15-20% back during sales. Two thumbs up from me.
Not only is this an awesome comment but a truly fantastic write up on the company .I have a large shopping list of things to buy from them . You absolutely can not go wrong buying from this company swapping sockets on rails can be an inconvenience but that's a legit reason to drink beer and crank the radio . That's outstanding you have had such great luck with thier warranty process . I can honestly say I have never heard a complaint about that process . Thank you for such a great comment and keep wrenchin

just bought a craftsman 10drawer workbench and loaded my craftsman cube i've had for years now into it...just a diy'er...needed something to keep in pickup, so went with tekton 3/8 and1/4 socket sets and wrenches with pouch standard and metric and everything fits under my backseat...the no skip and warranty was the seller for me...couldn't be happier.
I have the Tekton 1/4 & 3/8 socket sets and love them. I also get student prices while being in the autobody collision & repair class at the community College. I'm eyeing the torque wrenches as my next purchase. The no skips was key for me as well.
Glad to hear your loving tekton products and use that discount as much as you can . Granted don't go broke buying tools . Thier torque wrenches are pretty decent . I want the new line up of torque wrenches they have. Best of luck to you in school and enjoy the industry wishing you success.
Thank you for taking the time to show us actual use, that is what matters.
Just recently found your channel!! Awesome videos and tool reviews. I am a big fan of Tekton as well. Thanks for the content
Glad your enjoying and glad you found it . Tekton definitely had some awesome products
I also just started buying tekton tool screw drivers pliers and ratchets sockets and torque wrenches and bit sets
I used ther 1/2 torque wrench and it broke first time using it on a lug nut sent them pictures of it and they sent a new one out in 2 days i got it no questions asked
Absolutely great warrenty and craftsmanship
Great video man keep them coming 👍 👌 👏 💪
Yes I love the complete no skips, big size sets.
Aren't they just the best . Can't go wrong them.
I’m a huge fan of tekton tools. I have a second hand set of wrenches and they’re awesome. Have a lot of their impact sockets. Just bought their crows feet, 4 way angle wrenches and 3/4 drive impact sockets
I have to say they have a very solid product that I trust to do the jobs I need to do very happy with my choice to buy them.years ago.
I heard they’re still a family owned business. I love that. I have their 3/8 socket set and a plier set. No issues whatsoever.
I have some Tekton sockets also love them just holding them in your hand you can feel that they’re good quality
This video started autoplaying in another tab and with that reverberation when you were speaking I looked around and said "Jesus, is that you?"
It 100 percent was but only if it was before 7 pm after that I'm hooking to pay tool bills and go by Tuesdays delight
You are not ugly, you are genuinely informative. Thank you sir.
Thabk you for the comment and glad you enjoy the video
I done the same thing you done checked you tube videos bought some like them and use them in an industrial environment and there holding up great
I try to do as much research as I can on something between you tube and tool forums and Facebook. I try to buy the best quality tools for a decent price sometimes you find a diamond in the ruff
Great video. I used to be a big fan of SK, but now I'm not sure how their quality and warranty will be after the sale, so now I'm buying a lot of Tekton tools now. I think they are an awesome tool company
Glad to read what have you bought so far and what are your thoughts on those products .
I have both there standard and metric sockets and wrenches and I love them.
How long have you had your sockets and wrenches and do you find the wrenches comfortable in your hand ?
I have the master sets of their sockets. Love them. Great tools for the money
Absolutely agree I think I'm gonna order some more tekton stuff after Xmas
Great video ! Thanks for the real world review from a real mechanic who uses his tools 😊
I’ve been using some of the tekton tools I have for almost 15 years, I’ve broken a few but they hold to their warranty very well. I have a few that I still use quite often but over the last few years I’ve been fazing them out, giving them to my younger brother who is just getting into this industry and replacing them with snapon. I actually am not a fan of their ratchets except for a folding one I included in a comment left on an earlier video. If you want to get a ratchet that isn’t a tool truck brand then go with gearwrench. But I do mostly agree that tekton does a good job with their product and does an amazing job pricing them. Keep up the awesome content and stay greasy
I would say your younger brother is lucky to have you hooking him up .I'm almost tempted to buy a tekton ratchet and see how quick it breaks kinda want to do a tekton vs icon type thing maybe add in another brand and just beat on them for a month and see what happens .I have some gear wrench ratchets that I have had for years and they serve thier purpose I've learned though for ratchets I go directly for snap on. Thanks for the comment my man and keep wrenchin
@@classiclinesautomotive
You should! Get a tekton and an icon that are as close to the same as you can, and make sure they are ones a professional would get and do a weekly short video update on what your thoughts are. So I would get like the full length 3/8 flex head with the metal handle, that would be a really fun video. Then maybe at the end of those videos, take the one you liked the best and compare it to a gearwrench that’s the same basic design and do a string of videos like that. You could get a lot of content for short videos that would really help new technicians get a ratchet that is more affordable then a tool truck brand like snapon.
@jonathon mcmurray that's a fantastic idea I guess I'm gonna have to make a harbor frieght trip and make an order to tekton . Possible just buy a new gearwrench one and see what comes out on top
@@classiclinesautomotive
I’m really excited to see what you come up with! I personally think it’s just worth spending the money on a snapon ratchet even for new guys, but some guys just can’t afford it, and there is nothing wrong with that. So some education that is based on some experience from a full time technician, could really help them out. Let me know if you ever set up a patron thing, these kinds of videos are something I would be happy to pitch in a little for.
@@McMotors99 I greatly appreciate the support . I'll probably start placing orders from tekton this weekend and make a harbor frieght run sometime this week . It's been an extremely busy two weeks or so .
I've never had any problems with my Tekton Tool's. & highly recommend them.
I really like Tekton also I have some of their sockets and a 1/2 inch torque wrench and a 3/8 breaker bar what I really like about them is they make good quality tools at an affordable price there’s just no way I can ever afford Snap On tools I know their USA made but they cost way more than their worth and to me it’s not worth paying more for something than it’s actually worth there’s so many other good tool brand options besides Snap On.
I like Gearwrench, Sunex, even Husky is pretty durable. I bought my Sunex socket set in 2019, they are still holding up.
I have a husky master extension set that's held up great over the years . And sunex I can not complain one bit .also love my gearwrench tools . Not a fan of the gear wrench ratchet wrenches with the open end head profile. But over all fantastic tools
Well they should sponsor you, because you just made me buy some of their tools off their website! Their prices are unbelievably affordable!
Thanks for sharing.
Right on man what did you end up buying and keep me updated on how you like thier products
Also thanks for the awesome comment put a smile on my face after having a rather frustrating day .
@@classiclinesautomotive I ordered some of their 3/4 inch accessories for those pesky crank bolts or wheel nuts that I occasional come across. Don't do those a lot, but I couldn't resist the prices of Tekton. It's so affordable that it's worth getting for the toolbox. Later I may get their whole 3/4 inch socket sets. thanks so much for your videos. I like your style and presentations, keep it up!
@BellaRocko well thank you very much as long as everyone enjoys the content I'll keep rolling it out .thabk you for the support
Great tools for the money I have been buying more of them lately
I love thier products and love the price point an awesome warranty . What's your favorite tool you bought from tekton?
I hope they sponsor or atleast send tools for reviews, keep up the great videos
Thank you very much a sponsor would be awesome but I'm just doing the youtube thing to put info how to help fellow techs . Honestly all the sponsor nonsense I speak is just my sad attempt at humor . Would be cool though keep wrenching and thanks for the comment
I like the Tekton Chrome sockets.
I went with Tekton when craftsman went to China and there were warranty issues not being taken care of. I have their socket set, impacts sockets and a few other tools.
Right on . How do you like thier products and how long have you been using them .
I love all my Tekton stuff. I break my 3/8 breaker bar once a month and they fix it no problem, also shipping the head it takes 2 days at most. One thing I have noticed if you use the chrome sockets on impacts they can take a beating. (you should not but we all do it) I have every Tekton chrome socket and every open end wrench they make. I went with Capri for bit sockets and Sunex for impact sockets. I did the snap on thing and have sense sold all my snap on. It’s just not worth buying snap on, Matco or Mac anymore. unless it’s Mac rbrt stuff.
Small hex keys walk away I make sure I put the entire set back in the box and even after dumping out my tool box dust and using a magnet I can't find em.
Im not big on Tekton Ratchets. Still like my vintage crafstmans. Might try an Icon ratchet one of these days.
Love mine.
Hell yeah man
Good video. I been looking at them for awhile now.
Thank uou very much and if you decide to buy let me know I absolutely love thier product line .
@@classiclinesautomotive will do. Just don't have money at moment to buy without payments
Since I found Koken, Nepros, KTC Knipex.. I will never need to try anymore Tecton,, channel locks, vise grip, husky, Cobalt ever again. The most of this stuff is not that much more expensive than with the exception of maybe Nepros, Vessel ,Tone and KTC. Both of these manufacturers I think one makes the other are far better than even snap on, Mac, macro, Cornwell and any of these other high-end tool manufacturers that drive their trucks to your auto shop.
I agree they’re toolbox line needs some sort of payment plan
Nice tools and if you loose a piece of a set you can replace the one you lost with is great for me so I don’t have to buy a whole set to find one piece to keep all my sets complete
Absolutely I have had to do that once so far with the tektons and it makes life convient
I am definitely a fan of tekton tools!!!
I’ve been really happy with my Tekton sockets, but they’re all my SAE sockets so I don’t use them often. All my metric stuff is Snap On
I'm glad you been happy with them . How long have you had them . Also what side of the industry are you in . Can't go wrong with snap on sockets either . That's all that's in my roll cart.
@@classiclinesautomotive I’m in auto as of now, I’ve had the Tekton sockets for a little over a year. I never needed them until I transitioned away from the dealerships. I’ve recently been thinking about switching to heavy equipment as the CAT dealer is like 10 minutes up the road from my house, but having no diesel experience I’d have to take a massive pay cut just to get my foot in the door
@AutoMedic I would honestly say go for it talk to the service manager and see what he has to say . You might lose some money at first but end game I think you will be better off .at the very least a conversation could point you in the right direction or open new doors .I'm not one hundred percent but I believe cat has an awesome training program at least from what I've heard a few years ago from guys that have worked there. I love working on equipment . I feel it's easier than automotive. It's definitely heavier and a different theory to it with hydraulics and diesel but it is worth it
If money isn’t a huge issue and I’m in the heart of the rust belt is flank drive plus worth spending the extra money on in your opinion?
I would say they're a great wrench to have . Are you dealing with a ton of messed up fasteners or they just froze up with rust . To be honest I haven't had to deal with rust since I was a teenager years ago so I'm kinda spoiled in that sense . But I would recommend the flank drive.
I have some Tekton ratchets and use them all the time and never broken one
Hell yeah . I thought I about broke mine ended up snapping an extension
Love Tekton probably too much. Can't beat the quality for the price.
I have owned a set of Tekton metric deep well impact sockets (15 piece) that cost me just over $40.00 three years ago. A current identical set from Snap-on is $560.00. Don't get me wrong, Snap-on tools are superb and the every day mechanics like the truck coming to their shop, but a price difference of a 1300% increase in cost is hard to swallow
Great video 👍
Greatly appreciate the comment .
Tekton doesnt put any stamping on the sockets. Thats why i when with the Neiko set for the impacts.
Tekton warranty is by far the best warranty of any tool brand period.
They do have an awesome warranty that is very easy to use .can't argue that . Thank you for the awesome comment
You seriously need to get your health in order, brother.
Mental health?
I own the 3/8 ratchet set and Im considering getting their box end wrench set as well. I want to get SK tools cause my dad, grandpa and some family friends all use them and they all swear by SK. Mind you they got those tools 30 plus years ago so im sure the tools have changed since then but if they all swear by em thats what im buyin, no questions. Tekton is in my budget and from what ive experienced they have good quality so thats what im buyin till i can afford SK or Mac or Matco
Definitely a good brand to go with I love my tekton stuff and finding s/k tolls is getting harder and harder for me to find . However there was a tool truck in my area I think USA tools that had them but they wanted a ridiculous amount of money for the wrenches
@@classiclinesautomotive when I looked the metric and standard sets were about $350 a pop. I aint spendin no $700. I know theyre good but I dont make my livelyhood with those wrenches, theyre gonna be used primarily for my hobbies and my personal vehicle maintenance. I just want a quality brand so I only have to buy em once. But in pretty sure ill stick with Tekton for the time being. They havent let me down yet
I was thinking about sk also but glad I didn't start collecting because I think they sold out. Going with tekton now. And sunex for impact.
How does tekton compare to Matco? I have some Matco stuff but I believe they are just rebranded stuff and not always made in the USA so are they actually better than tekton?
I have many Tekton tools, great company, great products, however it is disappointing how their prices have increased dramatically.
Yea man but their quality has also gone up. And overall with inflation and cost of living going up it was expected but overall still a great company and tools.
Well considering tool truck tools are double the price or more and even Icon is about the same price I think it’s still a good deal
@@midwestbd7144 Good point
I switched to Tekton in 2016 for all my new tools needs. I restore old cars as a hobby. and i would spend money on my current project than buying overpriced tool truck brand tools. however, the stuff that is available to the home DIY mechanic form the big box stores is crap. craftsman was made by the Stanley Tool Works Division of Stanly Black and Decker up until around 1992. STW also made Blackhawk and Proto industrial tools. but then craftsman went to hell when they switched suppliers to China. I have not tried the new Stanley Black make ones at Lowes yet. Kobalt is a dying brand now Lowes pick up craftsman. Kobalt was made by William tool the company that makes Snap-on, but Lowes switched around 2008 to JS products. the Williams Tool made stuff was as good as Snap-On, but then switch to JS products for their importer and quality went to straight to hell. the harbor freight Pittsburg line has always been junk, and downright dangerous in some cases. I have not tried the new icon stuff. but I love my Tekton stuff and have no reason to switch. I have my old Pittsburg stuff the wrecking yards, so if it gets stolen or lost, I don't care. Tekton is in the perfect price point for me as a hobbyist that enjoys restoring old cars. the cool quality is as good as, or better than the tool trucks, but a cost on part with Gear Wrench or other mid-tier tool manufactures. i have yet to break.
I absolutely agree on some of the Pittsburg and harborfreight stuff being dangerous lol. Tekton really caught my attention about 5 years ago and turning wrenches professionally with thier product and even abusing thier products time to time I have to say they are awesome the price point is excellent and quality and finish is superb . Very cool that you restore classic cars for a hobby what are you working on now
@Classic Lines Automotive My current project is a 1971 Camaro SS 396 4Speed. I just got the block back from the machine shop, and I am starting the rebuild today. I did the transmission and rear end last month. So, almost back to running and driving shape. Then it's of the body shop for a new coat of paint
It’s not the tools that makes the mechanic.
Its
The mechanic that makes up tools
I totally agree with you on that . However in my opinion I like comfort in the hand . I can use craftsman wrenches or Stanley screw drivers . How they feel bother me . I hate blue point ratchets any time I use one of mine I think to myself why haven't I tossed this in the trash .
Needless to say you can absolutely get by with whatever you have .
Most of my impact sockets are sunex what do you think of them?
I love my sunex impact sockets absolutely no complaints with them. I use those for 3/8 impact sockets
All my 3/4 drive impact sockets are sunex , I have yet to break one since I got them almost 15 years ago. And believe me, it’s not for a lack of trying lol
I have Tekton 3/4 impact sockets no complaints about 9 months, 33mm & 1 5/16 get abused almost daily.
Glad to hear that . Love abusing tools kinda fun pushing them to the breaking point . That's the nice thing about tekton having an awesome warranty process .have you tried any of thier other products?
@@classiclinesautomotive I have not I have a HF on my way home so most of my sockets come from there. My 15/16 only last about 3 months getting hammered on red hot nuts is hard on sockets. I will be buying more of Tekton 3/4 sockets.
I have Tekton sockets and ratchets. They are holding up great. Everybody talks about their guarantee. I've witnessed some TH-cam torture test vids and their stuff holds up as good as high dollar stuff. Everybody that uses them gives them positive reviews. What more can you say?
Tekton has a very good warranty, you try and tell the snap on etc bout it and they say “it’s the abused”
Tekton are “ snap a pic and we will send you a new one while you keep that old one that didn’t work with us”
Meaning in keep that crap one and we send you a new one.
I replaced a 1/4 ratchet and 3/8 nearly no questions ask I like them I had them well over 4 years now so yeah tekton all the way down
Like what “classics” has said
When do my research before I bought from them that was a big deciding factor along with your 10% back on purchase through thier website . I haven't used thier ratchets yet. But I'm planning on buying one soon along with an icon and gearwrench and just using them and pushing them .to see what works best ,which one fails and so on .
Thanks for watching. Also happy holidays and merry christmas
I can't say as I have any of their stuff but it seems to be good quality stuff.
Big thing is it's minimally made in China it says 1% on their website. I do my best to stay away from Chinese stuff just because. Sounds like they have a good warranty process as well and that is a big big deal. Also noticing about skips I hate skips because sooner or later you will find a fastener for every single size socket. If a set comes without certain sockets I will buy them to make sure I have the complete set. Anyhow if I'm in a place where they're selling stuff and they've got something that I could use I will certainly look into buying it.
I absolutely hate buying skipped sets drives me insane . I want everything same brand and on the same rail. I think they make 74 percent in Taiwan and 22 percent In the u.s and I'm OK with that . Totally worth a look . Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoyed the video
@@classiclinesautomotive yes good video as always. Yeah I saw the breakdown and everything looks good to me they said only 1% in China and it's like okay I can handle that. Skips tell me that the people doing the manufacturing don't realize that there are Fasteners out there of all shapes and sizes regardless of what they think
@SpaceCat72 yeah with skipped tools it's just bothersome due to if I want to buy a set of wrenches and then there isn't any room to add in that particular holder and we'll it just passes me off .lol.what can you do though
@@classiclinesautomotive I guess it's all the extra homework right I think we thought that homework would end when we left school haha it never does. That's one of the things that bothers me about certain systems of organization is they do not easily allow for expansion. I always cut my rails extra long in case sockets are added. Shark teeth have Extra Spaces just in case but there comes a point where like you know you run out of drawer. The guys with the foam cutouts they look cool but it's like it's going to be hell when you have to expand
I have been buying Tekton over the last 5 years and I have a ton of tools from them now. I love the tools, warrenty is great but the damn tool boxes are ridiculous in price, wtf lol.
Guess I’m keeping alot of my Tekton tools in my is general😢
I was looking at the tekton boxes when they first came out . They look cool but like you said thier prices are crazy .however I absolutely love thier hand tools
The tool boxes are made by a company in Canada that makes high quality industrial boxes. I’ve heard they are much better than any of the box store brands including Icon boxes which are fairly expensive too
"Should you buy Tekton Tools?" uhm YES!!
Good answer.
I like tekton tools there impact set 8 38 in 1/2 is great i also have there both hammer sets the new set of hammers are great to
I need to look into those new hammers
@@classiclinesautomotive yes they are great hammers i got th set and love them
Tekton, Gearwrench, Sunex, Capri, even Bluepoint are manufactured offshore. In the end, it comes down to materials and design. If the material is strong and the design holds up, not much to differentiate one brand from another. Then, you consider price, which is more than likely what most people use as a deciding factor. Cr-Mo and Cr-V doesn’t change from supplier to supplier, so you’re not gaining much from supplier-to-supplier. I prefer Capri wrenches over all other sub-tier brands. The MAC precision torque wrenches are probably the best offshore manufactured wrench you could buy, but price is higher. In the end, not worth persuading one brand over another because the deciding factors that govern which brand someone will pick will differ from person to person…
Absolutely love my precision torques! Good informative read thanks!
Actually Cr-V and cr-mo can change from brands. If you look on tektons site on the 87 piece impact set. They gave two different Cr-V's used, one on most the sockets and one for the extensions.
What about icon is that the same also?
@@jnic2003 sure, you can tweak the chemistry, but what most manufactures do is change the heat treatment cycle.. After spending several years in the metallurgical industry, I know how a slight change in temperature, time and dwell can make a major contribution to the performance of steel. That said, changes to the chemical composition are impactful, but heat treating makes all the difference!!
@@alcerz984 Yes. I think the ICON stuff is made by Kabo, or at least the ratcheting wrenches are...but I believe their standard wrenches are made by INFAR, which I believe also makes Tekton wrenches, so in that regard, yes they are similar in that a single manufacturer is responsible for producing both brands...
better question is why shouldn't we buy tekton?
I don't know that's a good question.
Wrenches are not bad … a lot of the other stuff doesn’t hold up over any amount of time … so buy two of each while waiting for the warranty to clear shipping
What would you suggest to stay away from I might buy those and torture test them . Lol
My opinion is the sockets are too soft and don’t hold up over time. Yes any maker of any socket over time will wear out, but I don’t see it with my other sockets that I spent the bank on. I bought a few 12 point sockets to pair with torque wrenches (tekton) for some special drive line work. Don’t use them that much but a couple times a day. Over the course of a few months I end up stripping out the points … 55 on the torque which in my field isn’t a lot of torque. The torque wrench might hold up a year but is starting to feel loose and have play on it which again should be warranted. The thing with testing the torque and break away is that it is not real world … everyday use in my opinion is the real test. I’ve got gearwrench that’s held up longer and I consider them throwaway sockets
I have a few tectin tools but then i found Koken, Knipex, PB Swiss, Bacho, Vessel. I prefer the higher quality tools. They just feel a little bit better in your hands and are much bigger pleasure to use. However if you can get what you want done with Tekton, good for you.
My only complaint with tekton is their impact torx. They're soft and twist off easily. I'm pretty sure the hammers are rebranded trusty cook. The warranty is excellent. I think I sent them a fb message to warranty a ratchet. I didn't bother to warranty the torx socket.
I haven't used thier torque bits good to know on that . I find the ratchet I have bought from them is OK but not my go to . I really enjoy thier wrenches and sockets
Try Sunex for all things impact. You won't be disappointed. Tekton and Capri for all things chrome
@Nathan R. I bought the sunex impact torx when my matco guy couldn't warranty my MacBook torx that day. It broke faster than my chrome Pittsburgh. Torx seems to be the only thing I can't find that's reliable in cheaper brands.
@@aaadamt964 Okay my bad
Tekton are excellent folks with really, really decent ++ tools. I rate them above Williams
I highly recommend the sockets and wrenches
Was never a tool truck person as I was never a professional but love my old craftsman tools and was very excited that they were going to bring forging back to the USA in their Texas plant and I held off buying a complete set of tools for around two years waiting for them to finally launched their usa-made line. And then came the news that they were actually going to close the Texas plant and not make wrenches and sockets and such in the USA. I was pretty pissed when I heard that and that's when I decided to go all tekton and not look back. For hand tools anyway. All of my impact sockets are Sunex.
Is tekton the new craftsman in this modern world since Sears is getting out of the tool business?
I would.say it would be a level.above craftsman as far as finish and product feel . As far as wrenches and sockets they have hamdled.everything I have thrown at them
Another great video sir. Hope you will check out my toolbox tour Friday night
I'm digging the channel also love your ford truck . I miss my 89 in the worst way.
@@classiclinesautomotive thanks. My wife actually picked it out. I live in northeast Ohio and all the old stuff is rusted out. But I used to do side work for a guy who would go out west and buy old trucks and jeeps a few dozen at a time and sell the out here. It was a cool gig got to play with a lot of old trucks
Great tools and great services but using fedex as shipping is the reason they don’t get my money anymore
To be honest I never paid attention to who brought the product didn't know if it was FedEx or ups. Just for my own curiosity what the deal with FedEx being their carrier ?
@@classiclinesautomotive I’m not sure about in merica but here in Canada unless you live in the city the service just suck, they will send it to 3 hours away from where I live then they send it with another company witch they won’t say who ,when it will come and it will be impossible to track or anything. My last package (about 1000$ worth of tools) is a week late and no way I can find anyone to help me. It’s pretty much a hope it will show up
I have a bunch of their stuff. The hard handle screwdrivers are junk. Really soft tips.
Yeah to be honest when I saw those I stayed away . I first went with gearwrench screwdriver they're not terrible then went back with snap on. What's your favorite tool from them
@@classiclinesautomotive I agree the combination wrenches are pretty great. I got the sets that come in the roll-up carrier things. I also like their 6-pt socket sets. The ratchets that came in the sets are pretty basic but no complaints about them
@mlevenha yeah definitely not a huge fan of thier ratchets I think I have the ones I got I thier set in my other tool box in storage .the wrenches I think are amazing .
Tekton tools are great for the price, excellent sets available and tools available individually as well if you misplace something or it grows legs and disappears. Their warranty and customer service is top notch. I've filled out the form online twice times from my phone. Once was a bad pair of pliers Lowes sold me online and wanted me to drive 2+hrs each way to return them. I reached out to Tekton and had a new pair in my mailbox 3 days later. I've also warrantied a deadblow hammer I wrecked pounding on 100 1/2" socket head bolts. I very much admitted to abusing the tool and they sent me a new one that showed up a few days later. Both times I snapped 2-3 photos, went on the website, submitted the form and provided a shipping address and a new tool was in the mail quicker than it took for me to write this comment. I'll also add the deadblow was a size they no longer make and they sent me the next size up. I would love a set of their ratchet wrenches when they become available again. Great tools, good price, great service, they're making an effort to manufacture in the US when it's cost effective. All very good things. My only gripe is that I ordered impact socket sets on the rails and they came with metric on the red rail and sae on the black rail. Typically sae is red when both sets are present. It took me a half an hour and two beers to swap everything around to my liking. That is my only complaint I can come up with. And it's arguably just personal preference. Anyways, buy them on the website to get the 10% back and prompt free shipping, sometimes they give 15-20% back during sales. Two thumbs up from me.
Not only is this an awesome comment but a truly fantastic write up on the company .I have a large shopping list of things to buy from them . You absolutely can not go wrong buying from this company swapping sockets on rails can be an inconvenience but that's a legit reason to drink beer and crank the radio . That's outstanding you have had such great luck with thier warranty process . I can honestly say I have never heard a complaint about that process . Thank you for such a great comment and keep wrenchin
You don't know what your talking about snap only
I'm gonna go cry in a corner now thanks . I guess time to.sell all of my garbage tools and order a completely stocked snappy truck
@@classiclinesautomotive yes sir do your self a favor tekton going out of business soon just lot at the website warranty that won't last
This dude is down to earth and chill and isn’t trying to shill for companies. Wish you tons of more subscribers my man
Greatly appreciate it man . I'm just some random to that loves tools
