I don't understand the attacks on Tekton. They at least try and make some things here. Also they are very upfront on where every item they sell is made as shown at the end of this post. Who else does that? I have a set of the metric crowfoot wrenches and they are very nice. I also have a large Tekton Box that is made in Canada by Rousseau and is miles better than the HF, Craftsman, Tool Vault, Masterforce boxes that are regularly touted on here. The new USA made tool rolls they make in-house look interesting and appear to sell very well. No company is perfect and at least they try to make some things here plus excellent customer service and a 10% rebate bonus on every purchase for more tools. I looked at some past posts by the two main complainers on here and they are regularly suggesting people purchase Chinese made tools so I think it's a bit hypocritical for them to ***** about Tekton. How many USA made tools can you get from, Harbor Freight, Gearwrench, Craftsman and other common brands mentioned on this forum. I also commend them for not selling any Mainland China tools unlike nearly every other brand including Snap-On.

About 81.5% of our current product lineup is made in Taiwan, 12% in the United States, 2% in Canada, 4% in Germany, and the remaining .5% consists of 14 items from Sweden, 4 items from Poland, and 1 item from Slovakia. You can find the country of origin for every tool on Tekton.com by referring to the “Specifications” section at the bottom of each product page.

Funny how so many ***** about Tekton replacing their garbage hard handle USA screwdrivers with superior German made Witte. I guess some people just have to complain and any time a Tekton thread starts here the same made in USA crowd reposts their same bitching.

Same as people bashing Harbor Freight. Or ebay. Or Facebook Marketplace.
Hell, I'm sure there's at least one guy here who could write up a respectable rant about Snap-on.

I put in over 25 years on retail parts counters. Out of a hundred people, you'll find at least a few who have to let you know they hate Fram Oil Filters, or Holley Carburetors, or let you know that Mallory is okay, but Accel distributors are "just as good" and less money.
Same ****, different bucket.

Thread was supposed to be about tin snips, but here we are.
It's GarageJournal. What were you expecting? :unsure:
