    Tekton sockets/wrenches are the cream of the crop. Lifetime NO BS warranty. Their master socket sets are 100% worth the money. I have 1/4 and 3/8 sets. Once you hit 1/2in though I'd want impact sockets only.

    The Official Tekton Tool Thread . . .

    I'll bite OP. Big fan of tekton. I snagged their master 3/8 set when it was $125. Worth every penny even with the price increase. You won't find a more complete socket set. 10/10.

    Recommend a 3/8 Impact Socket Strategy

    Use safety glasses. I have no issues using tekton chrome sockets on my 1/4 and 1/2in impacts. YMMV depending on the torque application. The drive side will get pretty beat up.

    Why are wrenches so short? I fail to get enough leverage.

    Sorry. I posted this while baked last night and couldn't think. I have some husky metric ratcheting wrenches which are fairly short. (box store brand) It doesn't help that I'm only 130lbs either. I think I'm going to start using a pipe or wrench extender.

    Why are wrenches so short? I fail to get enough leverage.

    I understand that I can do the double wrench trick but why are wrenches so short? Could someone please recommend some decent wrenches?

    Does anyone use 1/4in with larger fasteners?

    Does any one use 1/4in a lot? I've used it with large bolts such as 1/2in and 9/16 and my Tekton ratchet feels like it's going to snap like a pretzel. Maybe my extension is causing so much flex? I have 3/8 tools but damn. I literally feel like I'm going to snap the anvil off this ratchet.

    Tekton socket sets difference?

    You mean these? Yeah. Can't say I'm too fond of the laser etching either. But for $25 a set they're worth it.

    SnapOn ripoff...

    Why would you pay retail? Look on ebay. WAYYY cheaper.

    Tekton socket sets difference?

    They're all the same. All those sockets are made in Taiwan. If you can and need sockets buy their master 3/8 set for $180. Comes with every 3/8 socket you'll ever need along with a ratchet and breaker bar.

    Where does Tekton rank?

    Probably in the middle. I'm just a DIY guy/weekend warrior. Tekton hits the sweet spot for me in terms or performance, reliability, and warranty. Master 3/8 set for $125 I bought a few years ago. Best purchase ever.
