do you have a link to the ratchets? id be interested in seeing what they are.

also a good time to pick up a 40" breaker bar from them.

Most of them were scattered around the 12 pages, but if you go to the top where it says Tekton deals next to the search area, you can search for anything you're interested in.

Thanks, might jump on this one few things I have had on my list from them

The Wilde-made pliers are made in the USA and are identical in appearance to the Wilde-branded pliers sold other places.

you meant pliers by wilde. not pliers and ratchets by wilde. miss wrote or miss read.

didnt think they made ratchets.

They don't. They sell some re-branded ratchets under the Wilde brand, but they aren't made in house.

The only Wilde items sold under the Tekton brand are pliers, that I'm aware of. All the Tekton ratchets seem to be your basic Taiwanese re-branded tools

Just wondering where you saw this...
I cant find anything on it.

It's on Amazon but, it doesn't apply to every Tekton tool only certain ones that are actually sold by Amazon. Click on a tool or set to see if it applies. The BLACK FRIDAY promotion will be listed in the description.

here's an example:

Thanks

Bummer, their 40 inch breaker bar isn't included in this.

 

[Kev442]

UPDATE: This sale is through December 31st!

I ordered:
3/8 18" ratchet
10" Groove Joint pliers (made in USA, they have "other" pliers)
1/4" metric sockets (Always losing the dang little ones)

Another Tekton goodie: Made in USA: red, rubber 25' air hose

Maybe we should PM our Tekton member here about the lack of breaker bars in the sale?

 

[archirelic]

Was hoping their MaxTorq wrenches would qualify...was really wanting to give them a try.

 

[Kev442]

Got my order, so I thought I would update.

I do believe I like Wilde pliers better than Channellock. The teeth are more agressive and I think the jaws stay aligned better at each setting.

The 1/4" sockets are Taiwan cr-v, nothing out of the ordinary, but better than chinesium.

The 3/8" 18" ratchet is the one from the infamous "I broke mine on suspension work, what junk" thread. Just holding it in my hand, it is quite apparent using it on suspension work is not a good idea. I think I will use it like a normal person would instead.

I also learned why Amazon prime went up $20 a year. I received my order in three separate packages, Yikes!

Lastly, I checked the link again to make sure it was still live and noticed that Tekton's little screwdriver kit is #1 in screwdrivers on Amazon. I don't have one, but it sure is popular.

This $10 off $50 sale is still going. I needed deep 3/8" impact sockets to go w my new Milwaukee 2654. Got the 47920 and 47925 for about $49 shipped. Depending on points a person might be able to do as good or better thru shopyourway on the Grey Pneumatic 1213D and 1213MD; sizes and cases on both kits appear comparable, although in hindsight I failed to look at CR-V vs ChroMo (I don't really care)

edit: according to the website the Greys are chro-mo while the Tektons are CR-V

I thought I was getting a "buy more stuff" email last week. This is what I actually got:
