Tekton 90T Flex Ratchets now available

[shelteredV]

Got the 1/2" and 3/8" 90t flex head today. Being a Snapon guy, I wasn't expecting much, but am pleasantly surprised. I don''t make my living with them,but am pretty active in the shop. Gotta say, for the price they are very nice.

Just bumping around their website, and I stumbled across this:

https://www.tekton.com/flex-bent-handle-ratchets?quantity=1&drive-size=1-2-in

Might need to pick up a 3/8" and a 1/2"....

I am looking to get a 3/8 flex head and other than the tooth count, how is quality in this new one compared to the Pittsburgh Pro line?

What is the preference as to quick-release or no quick-release?

No quick release that button is a pain and gets in the way.

Most of mine are recessed or flush. How could it be a pain?

I looked at a 1/4 drive recently. I liked it but will wait for the quick release.

I cursed the quick release button on a ratchet today. Was doing a honda starter and the only way I could get on the lower bolt was to position the socket and extension and then bring the ratchet in. Hitting the button to get the ratchet on the extension was difficult.

It’s a real dual edged sword. Sometimes the QR is very helpful; other times it’s nothing but hassle. You really want a selection of both.

I bought all my Tekton ratchets without the quick release and so far I prefer this configuration.

I like this answer! More tools!

Will tekton make a 18" flex head 3/8 ratchet and a 24" flex 1/2 ratchet in the future? Thanks

The exact lengths are still being worked out, but we will have flex heads in the future.

Thanks for the reply

Would love to see a 30" similar to matco, wishful thinking

 

[Fedwrench]

I would like to see more normal length versions like 3/8 at around 12-13 inches without the offset handle and a 1/2 drive around 18 inches long please.

Awesome! Can I talk you into a long 1/4”?

 

[d.mcfarland]

I'll be in for long handle flex heads.

 

[Dave.R]

Correction - We currently have flex-heads, and are planning on having extra long flex-heads as well.

I will pass along the interest in a 1/4 as well!

^^ sounds like a purchase for me in the future!

Only slightly off topic, but any chance Tekton will be getting into autobody based tools?
