I I use their 3/8 impact sockets on a daily basis at the dealership. Never had a problem other than loosing my 10 and 14mm. Works just as well as my snapon

You must work on Honda's or Nissan's if you lost those two sockets. LOL
Damn near everything on my wife's Altima is a 10mm or 14mm bolt.

Needed some tools for an upcoming project and saw this brand with good reviews on Amazon. Ordered because of Prime, delivered a day or two later. Since my first order, I purchased a large torque wrench, several breaker bars, wrenches, ratcheting wrenches and ratchets along with sockets. At first I fully expected to break the ratchet on the wrench removing the front brake caliper brackets, the tool did just fine. Well finished and no complaints.

One review stated that they were made in Taiwan, in reality, it's an American company based in Michigan and while they do make and finish tools in Michigan, they have them made all over the world.

If you're fed up with Craftsman and looking for something better than Harbor Freight, check these out.

Soooo glad I stepped in this section of the forum, my 8 year old Craftsman 1/2" torque wrench finally took a shit and you can't get them repaired. I've also noticed that when some of my Craftsman ratchets went out sears now only gives you refurb ones, not new ones anymore, What a bunch of cheap bastards! Not feeling Craftsman anymore.
Was looking for a new torque wrench and will definitely be checking out this brand, want something a little better than Harbor.

That stinks! No more Craftsman for me. The Craftsman we grew up with, the philosophy and service is no more. Tekton gets it, whoever is running Craftsman today does not.

I went looking for my Craftsman 7/8" wrench tonight to swap O2 sensors and could not find it. Ordered up a Tekton 22mm wrench from Amazon Prime, will have it Thursday which would have been the earliest I could work on it again anyhow. Save me a trip to Home Depot where I probably would've spent too much!

this is the first car ive worked on myself...i bought husky, HF, and some random stanley tools, tools from autozone....the tekton set i bought after outlasted all of them and are more reliable. no slipping on semi stripped bolts noiether and grips tight on the rusty ones. im a big fan. cant go wrong with them IMO.
