TEKTON tools what I like,what I don't like,( good information)!!! 

Tekton has been getting better & better throughout the years. Best warranty in the biz IMO. Hopefully the prices stil stay reasonable.

I bought the large metric combination wrench "add on set" four years ago. The finish on them and I see on yours is impeccable. I almost hate using them LOL because they are so nice.

I got their chrome socket sets 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 a few years ago .I love them the size range with no skips is unmatched. Never had a single issue never broke one .

About 8 or 9 years ago Tekton was my first quality Taiwan made tools that I bought. Never had a problem beyond their ratchets which they replaced with no hassle with just me sending an email and picture . Their sockets have always been satisfactory as a backup set to keep in the vehicle.

In my opinion, Tekton screwdrivers/torx drivers/ hex drivers ect. are some of the best US made hand drivers available. Tips hold up good in my experience.

I've bought a bunch of Tekton tools. I have the large 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" deep and standard sockets on the locking rails. I like them a lot. I love their 44" 3/4" breaker bar it's a beast. I bought their punch and chisel set which didn't really impress me. I've also bought a few of their ratchets. They are not terrible. I'm still a fan of snap on ratchets, but the price difference is crazy. I bought their angle head wrenches in metric and sae. They are pretty nice.

Bought my first set to put a new water pump on my car 8 years ago. They hold up great. I had a socket that was fully machined out and they sent me a new socket in two days. Great customer service.

I have a few Tekton tools, no complaints. They have many real good quality tools. I will definitely be buying more in the future. Great stuff and informative. Thank you for the video Jeff.

Thanks, Jeff! Much appreciated!

I enjoy the Tekton tools that I own. I really like their high-torque screwdriver handles.

I would agree about the etching on the sockets waring off being a problem. I know i can re etch the sockets but it could be made deeper at the factory to avoid this issue. I love tekton for replacing my current tools when they need replacement

I just discovered Tekton last year ....and some of yours are 10 years old! I like every item I bought so far from Tekton. I had only one issue (more of an observation) with a socket set and their customer service was top notch, without hesitation they sent another set to replace the first one.

I own the parrot nose pliers, 1/4 ratchet and SAE/metric socket set, 3/8 metic impact socket set, and a few metric wrenches I came across at a yard sale. All have been good tools. I'm eyeing the stubby wrenches and that folding stubby ratchet, it's a very interesting design

Love to see all that Tekton! Always nice to support companies that support you.

I wish I started using Tekton sooner. I got their socket and ratchet sets at home last year, chrome and impact, and I love having something reliable without needing to bring tools back and forth. I got a few of their chrome socket sets at work too, but ended up finally getting snapon sockets because I've always been a little bummed out by how deep a "shallow" socket is in almost every Taiwan brand I've seen when compared to my older craftsmen USA. I'm probably going to end up getting more of their wrenches this year too, even though I have a ton of loose sets already. Also, I really like their site and the 10% return adds up quick with big orders.

Love the show thanks for sharing I am revamping my tool box going with alot of tekton tools

That’s all nice stuff, good examples of Tektons quality. The chrome wrenches are gorgeous. Thanks

Thanks for all the recent Tekton videos! Even though it doesn’t sound like they have a physical storefront at all, I’ll have to just order some and try em out

I've definitely gotten some Tekton's thanks to your reviews. Appreciate your insight!

That is a nice table layout young man! My first Tekton product was a magnetic parts tray. I think I received it as a gift in the early 90's.

The Mini pry bars are a godsend! And affordable! As far as the impact sockets go, nowadays they are both etched and stamped but I also have a set of impacts from probably 10 yrs ago and most have completely wore the coating and etching off from lots of use LOL!!! but as always, they are still kicking!

Nice Tekton collection there, Jeff! Thanks for shraring! I’ve got the roto head and the flex head ratchet sets in the comfort grip and like them, but to each their own.

The current generation of 1/2 impact sockets are stamped and no longer use the "bullet profile" on the smaller sizes. They are also no skip sets. Lets hope they continue to partner with more manufactures to widen out the tool line.

Thanks for your continued updates on tekton man. Rally helps

The honesty here is great. Will make my future purchase decisions based on your judgement. Most are either fan boys or have brand new tools without grease in them

They’re basically new age craftsman and please believe me that’s not an insult. I have their chrome sockets and they feel great work JUST FINE and as for the warranty you’re not wrong it’s second to none. Snapped my 3/4 to 1/2 reducer took a photo and 3 days later no questions asked and free of charge at my door step

I have some Tekton screwdrivers, and I love them. They are like my old, 50-year-old, Snap-on screwdrivers. Keep up the good work my friend!

Finally got a chance to see the tekton episode I really like those wrenches so I added them to my wish and also the mini pry bars I really like those so that's on the list also I'm going to stop by and ratchets for a while I think I got enough to last me so anyhow thank you for another great video thank you for all your information I hope you have a wonderful day

Looks like Tekton tools are stepping up their game. The reversible ratcheting wrenches sure look good. Thanks

I really like my Tekton tools that I have. I've only used a few of them but what I have used they are great. Especially for their price.

Good stuff. I saw the little toilet ratchet on the table and wondered if you'd mention it. 😂😂 you're the best!

I love that satin finish I used to love chrome before I worked professionally but it’s to much upkeep for a big box full of chrome tools

Got the 1/4 and 1/2” metric/SAE socket sets, zero issues with the sockets… generally l use the Tekton sockets with other brand ratchets

I like what Tekton tools I have, prolly my favorites now is the 2 stubby combo sets. They feel great and look even better, plus it helps I picked them up with a 20% discount off Zoro. Hey Jeff, almost at 6K brother, keep on doing your thing.

I have the Tekton 1/4 socket kit. It has metric and sae in a blow molded case and I love it. I also have some random 3/8 and 1/2 sockets as well no complaints.

I have some Tekton tools - bought the standard and metric combo wrenches on a Black Friday deal (50% off) at Mejers. Now Mejers sells Stanley tools. Not sure who left who Mejers or Tekton - that was in 2018 or 2019 on the switch.

Another great video. I can' t complain about any of the stuff I bought from them. They have a good system for shipping to Canada. I thinking about getting a set of the reversible ratcheting wrenches next. So I appreciated the mini review.

Craftsman set the warranty standard years ago but Twkton defined it. They have great stuff. The shop i worked with, after being in the business 40 years, he started investing outside the tool trucks. When he found Tekton, he stuck with them and soesnt buy nearly as much off the trucks

Thank you for doing this video! I honestly believe Tekton are the best tools on the markèt! I have a ton of their tools and have never had any issues at all! Thanks for doing such honest reviews on RU-vid

I have the impact set and they are etched. You need to paint the numbers though. I like them. I have the chrome set also. I like them. And I have the mini pick/ screwdriver set. I like Tekton. They're a very good quality tool company. You have a nice collection.

I think my next tekton purchase will be one of their screwdriver sets - I just haven't decided on the regular or high-torque handles yet. I might buy one of each in a #2 Phillips just to test how they feel in my hand.

I have the 3/8" Tekton bent handle ratchet. Flex was a little loose and I had to shim up the intent wedge spring to tighten it up. For a 3/8" stubby ratchet I just cut down an old ratchet to 3".

TEKTON's got my vote. Quality at a nice price point.

I don’t have any tekton but it looks like they have good tools

I have had the same problem with rust on the pliers only. I think the newer impacts are stamped but much more expensive.

I really like those Tekton 1/4" and 3/8" flex head ratchets, I might try them for myself.

Those look like some good weekend warrior tools ! Thanks Jeff

I love the Tekton comfort grip ratchets, don’t judge it before you try it!

Thanks for sharing I like the tekton tools I have not as much as you though

In regard to the laser etching on the impact sockets. I don't think anyone is a fan of the etching wearing off, but when you use a socket that much, you can probably eyeball the sized when it's laying in a tool tray. I have some of my performance tool sockets left over from 2003, and I can tell you the 17, 19, 21,22, even though the etching is long gone.

That satin finish is growing on me a bit!

The sad part is I never heard of tekton in till I watched your videos. The rust could be a sign of cheaper metal.

I have there 40” 3/4 breaker bar it’s a beast along with other tools and sockets

The stubby wrenches are good..I've had mine about as long as I've had the screwdriver set..about 6-8 years..still use em..they're good Jeffery 👍

I’ve been an automotive tech for about 6 years now and I bought a 3/8 socket set starting out and I never upgraded it because i have not had a single problem. The ratchet isn’t the best but the sockets have been awesome.

Looks like some good tools, Thanks for sharing!

I really like how Tektons site is easy to navigate. More and more usa made. Great company to order from directly. Ships fast

Nice review sir. What a great overview of the TEKTON tools.

Jeff, I bought the Tekton 87 piece 1/2 inch impact socket set in April 2023. Mine are stamped and laser etched. That's a shame about the Tekton pliers rusting. Do you have issues with Icon pliers rusting like that? I find these brand overview videos extremely valuable. It's good hear the good/bad/ugly from someone who puts these tools through their paces. I would love to see an Icon brand overview as well.

Those screwdrivers are beautiful. The Tekton lineup you have looks great their chrome is outstanding. How is their pricing compared to Craftsman because Tekton has no skips. I'm sure they will replace your pliers. Great show Jeff thank you.

Hey Jeff, in relation to the folding ratchet. I have the quick release version and the handle does not push the button for you. The button is very low profile and there is at least and eighth of an inch clearance between them.. Their impact sockets are now dual marking, etched and stamped like most of the higher quality impact sockets are. Also, love their combination wrenches, have the 6-24 mm set as well as the 6-24 mm flex-head ratcheting wrenches, I really like that satin chrome and it makes it easy to differentiate between the ratcheting and normal wrenches at a glance, though I do worry about rust as it really reminds me of the finish on the Wera tools and they are prone to rust if you don't oil them. In that regard that finish might be much like the black phospate finish on a lot of impact sockets where you should oil them before putting them away to avoid rust.

I think Tekton has been making great improvements to their tools over the years. I know they did change the impact sockets they now have the sizes stamped on them which I was glad to see. I liked that they started making some of their pliers in the usa and hopefully in the future they will fix finish on them so they don't rust as easy as they do. I like the fact that they use Ernest company to supply them with their tool organizational items which is a usa company. I think their new ratcheting wrenches look like they are pretty good stuff too. I have owned both old Tekton and newer Tekton stuff and the new Tekton stuff is definitely a lot better than the old stuff. In my opinion I think Tekton does a great job at making affordable tools that hold up and get the job done. Tekton has come a long way and they definitely still have work to do but I think they are definitely going in the right direction. Jeff I do agree with you my friend all though I have not had one in my hand yet I don't know if I am crazy about their comfort grip either looks kinda short. Thanks for the great video my friend.

bought a single 19mm ratcheting wrench and they have the smoothest drive!!

Those Tekton ratchet wrenches look identical to Beta Tools and old-school Britool - the same satin chrome, same shape, same switch on the ratchet. I bet they all come out of the same factory in Taiwan. I bought a load of the old Britools years back when they were reduced to clear, and then filled in the skips with Beta to make a full set. Very, very nice quality wrenches, they've never let me down.

Jeff, the TONE RH4FHX 1/2" Drive Super Long Handle Compact Flex Head Ratchet, just came in the mail and first look I am speechless it looks that good.

Tekton is in the house!! Take a gander!!! Tekton just dropped their "made in the USA" dead blow hammer as well!! Good stuff Jeff! I like most of tektons tools!

I have slowly been building my Tekton collection. I haven’t had to warrantee any of them

The Tekton website points are very nice as well as their warranty.,

I like the handles on the Tekton screwdrivers. I wish Tekton would offer a ratchet with that handle. I prefer the plastic grip, in red of course!

I live tekton. Definitely with the money!

That's a nice bundle of tools but l don't like rust problems

Jeff, I love the Tektom comfort grip. You should try one. Since Wilde makes Tekton pliers, is the Wilde rusting ?

Nice Layout.

Hi Jeff, I have only warranty a tekton 13 mm ratcheting wrench,and you can beat the warranty with a stick. 👍

Hot damn nice set of tools.💪👍🇺🇸

I've started using wd40 dry spray lube on my tools that are more prone to rusting, especially pliers. I've bought 5 or so new pairs of Icon in the last month, and they look like they may rust a little easy. I sprayed most of my pliers and my impact stuff with it. Works great.

I have quite a few tekton tools and im a big fan. I am not a fan of their ratchets however. I use mainly snapon, gearwrench and icon ratchets and they are all better than my tekton ratchet.

The Tekton ratchets I have are top notch, some of my favorites and I have several Snap On, like the Tekton more. I have one Koken comfort, I love it. Many of my Snap on pliers have rusted also, and I take care of my tools and oil and WD40 them. How do we get an entry in to win the screwdrivers? I subscribed, like your tool videos, well done my friend 😊

Awesome collection - jealous

Great tekton collection very nice

They are doing both types of markings nowadays I am very pleased with my Tekton 3/8 impact sockets I'll never understand why they don't include a 21-24 in their wrench sets I often use the larger sizes I am talking about everyone and short of spending money with the biggest tool truck you have to take what you can That's why I went with snap on with the master set 7-36 and I use everyone of them

What Tekton I have I really like. I have had 0 problems out of them.They have great quality of tools at a fair price and you can't bet the warranty.

That’s a nice tekton set!! U should make a video on how to clean ur tools and keep them from rusting. Do u use ballistol or just wd40?

I really like my 1/4 drive Tekton torque wrench.

Fantastic! Can you do something similar to Capri? I feel like Tekton, capri and icon are 3 good mid tier companies

Thats intersting wow 😮😮😮

I lost one of my tekton wrenches, I going to give them a call and see if I can get a replacement. Thanks Jeff

Their Impact scokets are stamped and lazer etched now. Now it's just a smilple laser etch of the size. I have been between Tekton and Sunex impact sockets. Tekton is tempting for the quality, but Sunex is more affordable. Both are great affordable tool truck alternatives.

Tekton tools are well made and reasonably priced.

Tekton makes some good tools just very limited in their selection imo hence I use a LOT of Gearwrench

Nice collection. Disappointing on the rust issue.

Nice sets

I have Tekton's long torx and allans, they're okay but have since been replaced with my gearwrench master set that lives in my cart. I also have a 33mm 1/2" drive socket that I use daily for lug nuts, but I hate that it's only laser etched and not stamped, it's already been almost worn away in less than a year. It's a shame, I want to like Tekton, I just don't.

I wonder if the usa pliers are made by western forge all of my 90 to 2000 year craftsman plies rust the same way.

Tekton has the best warranty bar none❗

best warranty

👍👍👍

Another good video Jeff. you have an awesome array of tools and thanks for sharing your opinions. Most of my hand tools are hand me downs , garage sale craftsman.proto and a few of every other brand lol but they get the job done. I plan to use the info from your videos going forward when I do upgrade!

I want a set of those stubby's

I don't care for their pliers or wrenches but sockets and screwdrivers are decent
