Tekton Flex-head Ratcheting box end wrenches

[ml3895]

I have been looking at the EZ-RED and Mountain Flex head ratcheting wrench sets for home and came across these new sets from Tekton.

Anyone have any of these and have any input or are they brand new on the
market? Any info would be greatly appreciated

Also they have them in an extra long version. Posted the wrong link

No reverse or offset box, so your money is probably better spent on a set of Ez-Red, Mountain, or platinum (90 tooth). Although, if tekton added the offset box like other extra long flex head ratcheting wrenches, I'd be down.

EDIT: Maybe box end extension (the ring that sticks out on most other double box end ratcheting wrenches) is more accurate to say than offset box

Dang, Tekton is coming out with some nice tools.

Starting to wish I hadn't spent all my $$$ on older vintage stuff.

Those look nice, but like Loscaldazar pointed out not reversible. I have the Mountain which are spline drive so a little more versatile then the 6 points. They are great to have though I use mine a lot.

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.

Honestly I'm still looking for a reversible double box end wrench set with the box end extension that doesn't have a PIN in the joint and instead has a screw to adjust tension on the box end. No one wants a pin....they get floppy and then you can't do anything about it.

Since wrenches like this are only available from Taiwan, I'd be tickled if Tekton offered them. *cough* are you listenting tekton *cough*

Where's Dave R at?

The Tekton wrenches look very nice. I like the six point ratcheting boxed ends.
I prefer the six point ends to spline. However, I'm not against spline and own some. The only thing that would have made the short series of wrenches better is if they would have made each wrench a single size with one end being a fixed boxed end and have the ratcheting flex head boxed end on the other end.

For you guys wanting the ratcheting boxed ends with the slight socket extension, I believe those are made by Kabo only. I don't think Tekton has Kabo made tools
