Anyone heard of, used or own any BOXO usa tools? They keep popping up on my social media and seem to have a decent following in the Semi professional motorsports world. For the price they're asking I wonder if they're actually ok tools, or if they just have a good marketing team.
The hand tools look almost identical to some of the Westward stuff I got back in school, just rebranded and more expensive. I'm not really in the market for anything, just wondering if anyone had any experience with these guys.

Similar quality to Carlyle, Capri, Tekton, Sonic they are good quality Taiwan made tools. One of these big marketing budget private labeled sort of brand. If you can get a hot deal on some I would pick em up but who knows if they will be around in 5+ years so I wouldn't buy on warranty or any other marketing claims.

Boxo, and the founder of its parent company who we technically compete against I guess, was at our last race at Auto Club Speedway with their ZR1. Talked to them for some time, great guys, great concept, good stuff.
Look forward to seeing their tail lights again.

My friend's son is sponsored by them and I've also used them helping another team sponsored by them. The tools themselves are on par with any other Taiwan tool. Where Boxo shines is their kits that come shadow lined. In my type of racing (off road) our tools get thrown/bounced everywhere in our chase trucks as we go down dirt roads. I would say they are priced at a premium, but are a fair deal if you can buy them at a discount.

All good to know, My Westward stuff is hit and miss as far as quality goes so I wonder how these will hold up since they're made in the same factory; screwdrivers have held up over the years better than a lot of more expensive ones, ratchets and sockets not so much.

I've seen and fondled BOXO tools at a couple of SEMA shows. They have some nice boxed sets with foam inlays but, they seem to have a limited range of offerings. Pricing is a little on high side too. I just didn't see anything that made me say, I want this :dunno:
The other aspect is that I also didn't see anything that was significantly better than other Taiwan tools. :beer:
