    Tool Sets for Niece and Nephew?

    Those Stanley and Crescent sets seem solid. I'd get one of those if I ever need such a mobile set (or if I could find an excuse to buy more tools). Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

    Long Handle Ratchets (1/2" or 3/8"?) / Narrowing Down to One Choice

    I've been obsessed with that pair since the review. I'm waiting until Father's day to hopefully get them for a little cheaper from Tekton Amazon promotion, but will eventually get them with or without promotion. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

    Tekton USA line of tools

    I have their USA hybrid air hose and am very satisfied. The price on the 50 ft 3/8 red hose was actually a little cheaper than the Husky and HF Chinese ones (I did check the prices because I was really surprised they offer USA made air hose at that price). I also have their new USA...

    Tekton Flex-head Ratcheting box end wrenches

    Wow, didn't even know they offer these. As mentioned, the offset that sticks out a little does really help. My Mountain set has come in handy many times. If the price is not too bad, I'd probably get the short version to complement my long set. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Anyone Like Powerbuilt Ratchets?

    I was actually looking at those mini ratchts today. I was undecided between the Powerbuilt mini ratchets and Tekton ones. Those Tektons look thinner than Powerbuilt ones, but are more expensive. Sounds like a postive review from you for those Powerbuilts then...

    Holy expensive Stahlwille, batman

    Did they forget to include in the description that the sockets are made of chrome plated gold? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    cordless led under hood light

    I have the Capri Tools light and it's been pretty good. Very bright and has good coverage. Has magnetic clamp or two hooks at either end...

    Snap-on Inc. is now majority owned by Harbor Freight Co.

    Man, I was getting excited because I thought I could start buying reduced price Snap On tools at Harbor Freight soon. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Hex Bit Socket - Stripped Hex Socket Cap

    Wow, thanks to all of you for the great tips and suggested tools! It sounds like I probably should've tried to free the torque on it a little before trying to remove it. But as many suggested, quality tools might have helped so that this wouldn't happen. That's what I did. I dropped the...

    Hex Bit Socket - Stripped Hex Socket Cap

    So today I was having a really hard time with the auto tensioner bolt on a 2007 Honda Civic. It was an 8mm hex socket cap screw that was very tight in there. It seems like the hex socket cap is not deep enough for the hex bit when that much force is required. I tried my best not to strip it by...

    Harbor Freight Aluminum Floor Jack?

    I have the little 1.5 ton and it's been fine. One time it came in pretty handy when I had to fix a tire at my sister's house. Just tossed the thing in the trunk. Since I started working more on cars and owning a low one, I've been using my other HF 3 ton low profile "gravity altering" jack. Now...

    Need an all in one socket set up to 1/2"

    If you don't mind spending a little more, the Grey Pneumatic Duo Sockets are pretty nice. Rated for impact use and thin like chrome. Otherwise Gearwrench and Sunex/GP would probably have you covered. If I hadn't bought one of the last USA socket sets (with the dull chrome finish, of course)...

    Is that a home garage?

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I think I got a pretty good deal at HD yesterday. Have heard all the praise about headlamps, especially when I don't have a wife/girlfriend/kid to hold the light for me :D. I only tested it. There was good amount of light wherever I look with the normal, 70 lumen mode. Sent from my HTC...

    Tekton Hybrid Air Hose

    I'm waiting until their next Amazon promotion to get myself those sick-looking screwdrivers and super long ratchets :D. I didn't check, but this was $25 for 50 ft, 3/8" with 1/4" threads, which is the same price as the Husky one. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

    Tekron vs. Sunex Impact Sockets

    I assume you mean "Tekton"? My metric 1/2" drive Deep and Standard Tekton sets (bought a few months ago) were Made in Taiwan. I'm sure they're still made in Taiwan. Sunex seems to have more complete sets (for example, 10mm to 36mm without skipping). Tekton has bigger size laser etching. Other...

    Tekton Hybrid Air Hose

    Hi guys, I was looking around to upgrade my air hose. I decided to switch to hybrid hose for home garage use. My old hose was always fighting with me every time I used it. I was looking at HD Husky and HF because they were local. But then I found out Tekton has their hybrid hoses Made in USA...

    360 Swivel Air Connector

    So I recently got a 360 degree swivel for my air tools. I have it connected to the air hose. So air hose -> swivel -> quick connector. Looking through the photos here on GJ, I see a lot of people having the swivel hooked up to the tool. I was thinking having the swivel on the air hose would...

    Amazon Price Increase!?

    One a similar note, I've seen Tekton (permanent) price increases on some of their products. For example, the 4 piece lug nut socket set went from around $16 to now $22. There's also a Teton 3/8 in. Metric Deep and Std Socket set with Rachet that went from about $22 to $35. Also the GearWrench...
