    Tekton Pliers Review (Red Handle)

    I'd concur that quality tools can be made elsewhere, but the statistical mean, median, or mode etc...for China made tools is not that good. They are getting better! Some Harbor Freight stuff is slowly becoming better, as the production machines are reworked and/or replaced with newer units...

    Tekton Pliers Review (Red Handle)

    Dave, I've submitted once through the TEKTON website. I don't know what the process is, but like most people, I don't have a lot of time, and shipping starts to eat into the tool cost. I'll see what develops. Thank you for reaching out to the customer base though. Bad thing was, this was...

    Tekton Pliers Review (Red Handle)
