Tekton wobble extension
- Thread starter Jwh720
- Start date
Don't have Tekton anything, but having both Snap-On and Koken wobbles, the Koken is a noticeably superior product. Koken has much finer machining and tolerances, ZERO play when used with Koken tools/accessories. Snap-On has noticeable play even when used with Snap-On tools/accessories. Knurling on Koken is vastly superior to the "smooth" comparatively, knurling on the Snap-On. Both don't "play well" with the other brand as they both are best suited to be used with their own brand ratchets and accessories.Anyone have the Tekton wobble extension set? How do they compare to the snapon?

I don't really like the two position wobble extensions like the Tekton or the Snap on wobble plus. They always lock straight in a tight spot when I need the wobble. Snap on is definitely better especially in 1/4" drive wobble extensions. One of the tools Snap on sells that is worth the price
I'm gonna agree on this. I think the design of the Kokens, with the knurling on the end is better, but I've broken 6 of them, not even leaning on them much, leaving me less than impressed. I know I can be a gorilla but I don't try hard with 1/4" stuff.Snap on is definitely better especially in 1/4" drive wobble extensions.
Maybe I’m talking out my **** but I think sometimes a little bit of play can be better than perfect exact fit because then it’s harder to take on and off and if a single piece of dust gets in there you have a real bad day. Of course sloppy isn’t good either but idk for alot of stuff I think a small bit of sloppiness makes it easierDon't have Tekton anything, but having both Snap-On and Koken wobbles, the Koken is a noticeably superior product.

I have TEKTON wobble extensions in 1/4" drive and Snap On wobble extensions in 3/8" drive. Those TEKTON "might do the job", but for Me, they definitely take the back seat when compared to the Snap On. I have tried both on various brands of sockets, and get the same results. The Snap On turn much smoother.
