    Tekton Tools Praise Thread

    I was going to bite the bullet and get some Tekton stuff until I checked prices. I'm in Canada which means my easiest way to buy Tekton is Amazon.

    I'm looking for something to pump up a tire in the driveway without messing with dragging out a compressor. M12 inflator, yea or nay? I already have the batteries and people seem to like it, but I thought I'd check

    Tools you always had but never used

    I use crows feet wrenches not on a regular basis..... But I doubt if there are any in either of my sets that have never been used. I try not to buy any of the gimmick tools that look like a good idea at the time but will undoubtedly only collect dust

    Tools you always had but never used

    I have about 5, only one of them is So, only time I've used them was running head bolts down but I don't do much engine work anymore. I don't even have them in a drawer, they hang on the wall

    Is there a better version of the EZ Red kiwi pliers?

    I will bow to the majority here but I have had these pliers for a year or more and find them very handy and have not ever felt that they 'sucked'. While they may not be knipex quality and the Jaws may flex a little, yes, Ive always thought they were a good buy at the price point and have never...

    Spiral Ratchet Screwdrivers

    A guy at work collects these, so all the 6-8 that I've came across in my travels have gone to him. All were Stanley except for one Miller's Falls if I remember correctly
