Tekton Jumbo Wrench?

[decableguy2000]

I'm looking at some Tekton jumbo wrenches for occasional use. Have one tractor and one set of implements. I need some bigger wrenches than what my Craftsman set goes to. I'm also looking at HF, Northern, and Sunex brands also. Who has some experience with Tekton? US made are great but are out of my reach. Currently I'm using a 15" adjustable, but can awkward at times.

There was a tekton thread on here i thought and one of there reps was a member. Do a search sorry do not remember the guys name.

No experience with texron, but I have some northern tool and some sunnex. Both are pretty decent, they seem much nicer than the HF wrenches.

I have this set here:

The quality seems ok for the price, no complaints yet the few times I've used them.

All the cheapies seem to be about the same quality.

Fairly crude but get the job done for the most part. I've got a set of cheap Tekton angle wrenches that work OK- the finish ***** (supposed to be full polished but ****** *** chrome with lots of nicks and such) but for the $40 they are tolerable. I'd imagine the large jumbo wrenches would be about the same and on par with Sunex/NT.

Wouldn't want to put a shitton of torque on them like I would trust my Wrights to handle but for backing up an impact wrench or the occassional use they should work.

the newer maxtorq Tektons sets are very nice,the older raised panel are OK very similar to HF.
