I would still recommend them even just for their markings. The markings on them are large and easily visible, so it is easy to determine just which one to choose. It is difficult to make out the markings on the chrome sockets I have because they are etched or stamped very small. In addition, the more recent sockets I have purchased seem to rust very quickly, and the rust seems to affect the etched or stamped size marks most of all. As I haven't used these sockets for long enough to comment on their toughness, I haven't had time to test their durability. I don't remember having any break in the short time I have had them, but so far none have rounded off or broken. The manufacturer should read these reviews and consider making the markings even larger if they read them.
The service provided by this company is excellent!.
I found these to be great value for the price As a heavy duty mechanic, you are on the job all day long The only issue I find with this is that the lettering is not engraved, but you'll know the size by heart by the time the shirt wears off.
This is a great product. * Brought this set with me, for my VW diesel project. I just thought it would make a nice addition to my set. Though I will miss the metal boxes, even if they were over a decade ago. The first 1/4 of my paycheck is here Several socket sets from the time period of 1971 or so, including a deep wall socket The metal boxes are still in great condition, although they do have a few scratches on them. Growing up, she even survived two boys. Then the heat set in) (was sweating that out though)
I've survived quite a few car and truck.
It is easy to read sizes that are clearly marked. This is a very good deal for a Tekton product. I dislike 12 point sockets, but you don't have any choice when the bolt size on flywheels is 12 point!.
DIY enthusiasts are always in search of SAE 12 point deep sockets. There is a significant difference between 12 and fewer point sockets I found no rounding of the corners on the bolts or nuts. It seemed to be a well-made product and the plastic case appeared to be okay.
With this set from Tekton, I now have the full range of standard and deep socket adapters in 6 point and 12 point, and I'm happy with the quality, the variety of sizes, and knowing I'll have it on hand should I need it in the future.
So far, these sockets have worked just fine for me after I have heavily utilized them for a month. The socket set in this set is the perfect addition to your weekend warrior's toolbox for DIYers, and this comes from an automotive tech who works with the set. TEKTON's lifetime warranty has yet to be used, but it appears that the company sticks to their word. They come in a cute plastic case, and every socket is labeled with its size.
