Stumbled on this brand new Tekton 1/2" bit set on marketplace last night. I wasn't looking for such a set but was glad to get it at $50CAD, retail is $200CAD and it will fill a void in my tool box, my hex sets only go up to 10mm except for a couple that I've made when I need them in a pinch...

It means a pass from me but I’m far more particular than most about selector direction. I hope you sell lots of these and continue to produce innovative(and very nice) tools!

Very cool and great to see a product hit the market. Is the "on-off" selector direction in line with Snap-On or Koken?

I've tried a few electric screw drivers over the years, didn't care for them. This one seems ok. I thought the orange handled Vessels were flat bladed screw driver but turns out they are like a chisel tip? Kinda weird, I guess I'll use the as pry bars..

They are indeed the same other than the handle. Different use cases for the different handles. Like I mentioned earlier I don't like the soft comfort grips, I prefer the hard handles, however they don't offer hard handles with QR so I buy the comfort grip and swap on a hard handle. The one...

A lot of it is just personal preference but most of it is the fact that I'm the opposite, I don't like having the head locked and when unlocked it just flops around with zero resistance. It doesn't have QD and I hate how chewed up comfort grips get. I dislike how wide the head is and the locking...

I’ve used them a couple times already, they are indeed great. I’ve had the larger version(the “47”s) for about a year and they have become my most used pliers. These are the smaller “46” version.

Snap-On man let me know some of my order was in which included the 1/2" Extra Long Handle Flex Head with quick release. Should be the last 1/2" ratchet I need to buy.

Very cool and great condition!

Looks great! I’m a big fan of the SO hard handles although I do agree they are a bit on the small side. I like QR which they don’t make in a hard handle so I get the comfort grips and then modify a SO screwdriver handle (which are a bit bigger) to fit. Makes for the “perfect ratchet” IMO

Your using a steel wool pad and flitz?

I have both locking and non-locking versions. I greatly prefer the non-locking. The locking ones are super floppy when not locked and I often bump them from locked to un-locked. It’s very rare that the lock is actually a advantage. If I lost my set of locking flex heads I wouldn’t replace them...

I’m far from a Koken fan boy, In fact I think they are a little overrated on here also but in my opinion the Tekton ratchets I have/had are not anywhere near as nice as Koken. I’ve never handled a Capri so I can’t comment on that comparison.

I've been using that set for a couple years now. The swivels are a gods send.

Ya I figured I might as well just get the extra long version. I already have a non flex head SK 1/2” in a standard length. As I get older I find the extra leverage of the longer ratchets more useful.

LOL, they are pricey for sure but I've learned with tools I never regret the money spent on quality tools and I know from experience Snap-On ratchets are quality. I'm also in the process of going through all my ratchets and decided to sell the ones I don't like since I never use them anyways...

Thank you everyone for contributing to this thread. I decided not to compromise and just order a new Snap-On SRLF80A. Thats the " Extra Long Handle Flex Head with Quick Release, chrome handle". The QR versions don't show up on ebay often and I'm fairly picky about condition so this seemed like...

Yes and a manual Impact driver works even better yet!

I only have experience with the Hozan 221’s and only use them for motorcycle master links but I can say they work great for that task and the is quality is great. Seem like a bargain for the price.

Damn, that was a good deal! That ratchet looked mint.
