Ok I’ll admit to being a tool addict.....I like to work on stuff and do as much car repair work as possible and since I bought my hot rod I find myself in the garage turning wrench’s more and more......Most of my older tools are US made Craftsman which have held up well but the “new” Craftsman stuff is mostly low quality junk made in China or India and I refuse to buy them.....Home Depot Husky and Lowes Kobalt tools are better but not worth the price......NAPA is selling Carlyle branded hand tools and they are very nice but they are asking tool truck prices for them......
I recently needed a 1 1/4 inch socket and looked at several places and couldn’t find one so I looked at Amazon and found one made by TEKTON which I never heard of but ordered one priced at 8 bucks and change not expecting much but when it came I was surprised that it seemed very well made and high quality......Since then I have ordered a socket set, ratchet., stubby ratchet and several other TEKTON tools and I am very pleased with them all, they are priced less and much nicer than the crap box store stuff and even though they are made in Taiwan they are first rate quality, feel good in the hand, have lifetime warranty and seem to be equal to my Snap-On tools that I paid a small fortune for.....
I just wanted to pass on a great find that I accidentally made to others on the forum that appreciate nice mechanics hand tools so if you are in the market for some really nice high quality hand tools at an unbeatable price go on Amazon and check out TEKTON, you will not be disappointed.....
