This man deserves a Nobel peace prize. It took me 15 minutes to replace the last 2 plugs after taking at least 90 minutes to miraculously replace the first two due to socket staying stuck to spark plug. If you're using more than 1 extension. Tape them together also.
I was in the same position. Skips, lost, broken. I like how Tektons are no skip and you can select impact, 6 or 12 point chrome. And they stand behind their stuff.
I have an earlier generation Wagner heat gun (probably equivalent to the Furno 300), which has worked well for several years (with no deterioration in function or form). Can recommend.
Nice picks. Many of the same pieces in mine. A few ideas to lighten yours up & increase function. * Allen bits with a stubby ratchet driver. Allens are rare except on socket cap screws and stubby ratchet is far superior to allen key sets for that in 95% of cases while a dozen hex bits are far lighter than a full metric/standard allen key set. Stubby ratchet driver also gives me all the hand screwdriving I need using the same bits as my impact (i use a dewalt slim locking extension if i need extra length and a U-joint adapter for getting into awkward spots). I prefer to hand drive in some situations to avoid any chance of overdriving or stripping and I find a stubby works better for this than typical drivers. Shorter length reduces cam out on phillips. * I prefer the stubby driver + hex drive to 1/4" square drive adapter and a half dozen of the most common sockets over a dedicated socket setup. Again this can be used in the impact or ratcheting hand stubby driver. * Painters multitool. Scraper, persuader, hook, prytool, crack clearer, etc. Excellent tool, I carry one and a stainless Titan right-angle prybar for certain jobs that need 2 prytools or a right-angle to slip behind something. I used to carry a demo prybar like that and a few different putty knives and scrapers, but these two have replaced all of those. * Dental pick double ended. Any time I work with gaskets, small springs, carburetors, or need to clean narrow areas, this is invaluable. * 2" plastic spring clamp. Obvious reasons. I find 2" jaw opening enough for most things, but sometimes I grab a 4" or quicklocking bar clamp. * 45deg hemostat locking hemostat forceps. Very useful when dealing with rubber/plastic tubing or wire. * Milwaukee 7-in-1 electricians pliers. Handles all household wirestripping, cutting, bending, pulling, and crimping. Plus a few wire nuts and crimp connectors. * Spring punch set. These are incredibly useful for driving nails/pins & punching pilot hole starts. Can serve most of the functions of a hammer and in tighter spaces a hammer cannot reach. You wouldn't want to nail dozens or hundreds of nails with it, but a couple taps with the back of my nail puller to start the nail, then a strike or two with the spring punch drives a nail perfectly. I used to carry a small hammer, but do not anymore and never miss it, spring punch with flat end works great, even better in many cases. They're also far lighter and way less bulk Used to carry m18 impact, but switched to the gen2 m12 impact about 2 years ago. While I wouldn't used it to drive a hundred screws rapidfire (would use m18 for that), it has way more than the necessary amount of power to drive the typical 2" to 3.5" deck screws I mostly use and weighs far less than the m18 & less bulk. I've never found I needed to carry an extra battery for around the house. I use mine almost every day and only charge it maybe once week. If I'm doing a major build project I go for the m18 and cycle 2 batteries like normal. I like to carry a Kreg drillblock, laser measure, 3/8 countersink bit, impact driver drillbits which gives me all the function of a drill (for wood or plastic) with little bulk/weight. I find a sweat band/bandana and a headlamp absolutely invaluable to the point of keeping a headlamp in my bag at all times. Sweatband/bandana probably less useful in some climates, but if you wear glasses it's absolutely required if it's above 70F and 70% humidity IMO. I keep a couple in my bag.
This doesn't tell you how to get the socket out when it's stuck. It only tells you what to do in advance to having the problem. This vid doesn't address the title of the video.
Thinking about getting this set right now. I've had the craftsman plastic box set thats right around this price and i hated carrying it or moving it since it was all plastic and would fall apart. Only thing i see i might not like on the tekton is those plastic clasps to hold the box shut but i havent seen any complaints and I'd just buy the twist lock rails they sell.
Great choice mate. Batteries last to almost 10K shots and gas will last at least 2 years, check bottom of gas to see the expiry date and add 3/4months extra guaranteed. Best gun in its class. Regarding nails you can use Dewalt 16g but you’ll need to purchase gas separately. If you plan on using different nails just buy Dewalt nails and use the Paslode gas. Maintenance is easy follow the user manual provided 4 head bolts and just remove circlip , pull out drive pin spray the chamber with cleaner let dry and and add 6-10 drops of oil, the clean fan head and spray and then oil. All in about 25 mins.
Does yours have a lot of play in it? Mine only locks in the last slit with all the sockets on it & it wiggles a lot and that last socket just slides back & forth too much, was wondering if it was just mine
I had the Neiko set and sold it so I could by the Tekton set. Neiko has no lifetime warranty or the ability to replace lost parts. The Neiko set is also massive compared to the Tekton, you nade a Wise choice. Tekton has one of the best warranties in the industry. Not only can you replace lost parts with tekton but you can also easily warranty broken parts without a hassle. I now own multiple tekton tools and I'm a customer for life.
These Hand Tool companies that make these intricate *All-in-Ones Screwdrivers* 🪛 NEED to better Design/Engineer their Bit-Carousel Caps to securely lock 🔓 and NOT 😤 open!
I think it’s a QC thing. My Klein stubby was so tight I dust disassembled it and filed all the parts down so it would fit. My regular size one is perfect. Easy to open but never opens by accident.
I hope Klein improved the rubber/silicone-whatever-it-is grip on the handle. I was one of the early adopters of the "modification" when it first started showing up on the youtubes, I bought the adjustable 14-in-one and swapped it with the impact flip sockets. The rubber grip on the handle has swelled up and just spins freely on the handle making it difficult to get any torque when turning a fastener. Come to think of it, my old 11-in-one is doing the same thing.
@@thomaspolley4977 The rubber grip on mine came off as well. I used electrical tape and taped it up like a hockey stick. I wish they just went full acrylic with their handles, and I’d also be curious how that affects the cost.
