They stock tekton at one of our local industrial supply places as well as S&K. The fit and finish seem to be ok better then harbor freight chromes any day not the case with impacts tho but they are definitely no where near the S&K. there are higher quality options out there within the Similar price range craftsman usa, S&K, sunex and grey pneumatic might be a little more expensive but I feel like it worth the little bit extra especially if you using the for work
HF can't be beat for the price but Sunex and grey are probably the best all around value on impacts Without stepping onto the tool truck and stepping off wth an empty wallet

Incorrect.
HF has a line of cr-mo impact sockets and such which are superior to Tekton's cr-v lineup.

To be totally honest if your worried about missing sizes you should be shopping elsewhere
Harbor freight is hit or miss as we all know there impact sockets are decent ive had an older set as a back up and haven't had any issues in 8 years as do many other members on here
And HF pro impact don't skip nearly as many sizes
Only there cheaper version skips a whole bunch

You're not kidding. I've started looking at new truck offerings at local dealerships and it appears I'll have to special order such a truck.

I love my MaxiSys, but I'm pretty disappointed with the MaxiScope.

Unless of course you need one of the sizes that HF skips.
Yes I hate that they skip sizes. I also wish the sizes were stamped as well on the Pro sockets.
What Tekton promo?

Just notice this say what you want. But it looks like tekton is either copying HF or just rebranding this item and if there's one item then there must be more
Universal joint impacts look identical as well
Home Depot use to sell these under the husky brand

Tekton and durlast I knew I saw those ratchets at auto zone do people really consider them decent

I believe Tekton does their due diligence and weeds out the truly awful stuff. The Tekton stuff does have some variations to it as well usually making the item "better".

Maybe we could start a thread about Tekton to talk about Tekton.......this is the thread to share pictures of your new Tekton.
I was really thinking about a Mini Griptillian for my first nice knife. They have that great lock on them. I ended up with a Spyderco, but may add one of those in the future.I have been saving up for two purchases where I really wanted quality. First was a set of Snap On torx sockets and took about 4 months piecing together the set to go with my metric hex. With my R32 and Triumph motorcycle I use these the most.
The other was a quality pocket knife for EDC. I was tired of my old junk knives so I sold off some stuff I no longer use and bought a Benchmade Mini Griptilian. Love it so far and want to get more from this brand now.
Those look fantastic, I would have bought them too.Picked up this NOS pack of Vaco nut drivers at a hardware store liquidation over the weekend.
Perfect, love the single cab , surprised you can even buy one nowadays. Good luck with it.

Sensor socket kit was Sunex and it looks exactly like the HF one and was about same price since it was on sale. It was made in Taiwan but wouldn't be surprised if made from same factory. Also see resemblance to other sensor kits sold.

My buddy picked up the hf one, we had to grind the leading edge of the gm oil sensor one to fit. The first 1/8 inch was smushed in.

After taking a few bolts out of the rear suspension on a '99 Volvo, which it did with ease. Just kind of heavy compared to more expensive impact guns.

My new arrivals
Some various Spanners made by Stahlwille, ROE, Double Box, and Double Open pretty much all sizes 6mm to 22mm (excluding 20mm). Also some 3/8" Impact Sockets, Extensions, and swivel from Stahlwille.
The other 3/8" Impact Sockets in the packets are from SP Tools, both a shallow and deep set.
Nepros S Spanners and Nepros Half Moon Spanner sets. Common Japanese automotive sizes.
Some additional sizes of Nepros S and Half Moon Spanners. Also 2 Nepros 45*x6* Double Box Spanners to complete my KTC Double Box Spanners set.
I also received a single 3/8" 8mm Impact Socket from Ko-ken. Not pictured.
Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do!

Love those Nepros. Got to use a few helping a buddy a couple weeks ago. I really liked them.
3/8" or 1/2" ? Do the impact extensions have a pin or hole at the male drive end ?

Today's new tool B006L23LBG Sunex 19mm EXTRA deep impact socket. Sounds cool... It looks cool.
BUT... it comes with a story:
I did not order this socket... it was INCLUDED in my wife's Eve Rochet order of face cream and shower gel. The tool was still wrapped in plastic with bar code and part number. So check your womens packages... you may find random tools included.
Decided this was a WTF thread entry but chose to stick it here.
