Hazet anyone?

LOTS of foreign tools here...eye-watering prices too. I've purchased from them 1/2 dozen times, excellent customer service.

Robert...that site is like a woman in a chocolates shop for me...arrgh!

(edit) "Reasonable" is relative...glad I bought my Stahlwille double box end set a decade or so ago...the price has nearly tripled since then.

Quality tools in a plastic box with foam insert! Close to perfect. :cool:

How about this "Porsche Motorsport" set? Only <ahem> $279. :eek:

Look! It says "Porsche" on the case...that alone is worth $250, right? (edit) there's nothing that either of those Hazet kits can do that I can't do with tools I have that cost me a lot less.

That's one of the nice things about Tekton sets..no size skips. You'll be satisfied with the quality, fit and function. Good tools for the DIYer..

(edit) Warning!!! Tools can become addictive.
The set just came. Very nice. I love it. Thanks for the recommendation!!!

Which set did you get, RF?

The 1/4" drive with both SAE and metric?

Got the 3/8 Inch Drive 6-Point Socket and Ratchet Set, 42-Piece (6-24 mm)

Nice - I was thinking a 3/8" drive made more sense than a 1/4" drive.

Thanks for the review...I now feel better about suggesting Tekton. First thing I noticed with the 1/2" drive sockets set I got was the large size stampings on the sockets. Easy to read for even my old tired eyes.

I liked the socket set I got so much I bought the TEKTON Combination Wrench Set with Pouch, 19-Piece (6-24 mm). It came over the weekend and the 12mm is missing and instead I got 2 11mm. Filled out their help form this morning to get replacement. So far the process is smooth but we shall see how it plays out. Pretty sure I won’t have an issue. The wrenches and tool roll are very nice

Are you sure it wasn’t the 10mm? 😂

Ten mm is the line between 1/4 and 3/8. I have a 3/8 drive 10mm socket, but for the most part everything from 10m down is 1/4" drive. 19 is the line between 3/8 and half. I have a 19 mm 3/8 drive socket, but I also have one in 1/2 drive and everything from 19 up is 1/2 drive.
Exactly my thought…no 3/8 ratchet…most commonly used for me…then 1/4. Got this Craftsman set at Sears about 40 years ago on sale for $30 or something. 3/8 and 1/4 metric and SAE. Don’t use it much but nice to have for SAE.

Tekton has just got in touch and said the 12mm is on its way. Good company!!!

Chocaholic 08-28-2023 04:54 AM
You may want to order a few extra 10mm sockets.

Just sayin’.

And Tekton site takes PayPal…yes!!!!!
Congrats. You'll still need to get more tool, which you can do as needed. I think it was Paul who suggested the Knipex angled pliers so I got a couple of those. Use them all the time. Superior design and functionality. German. Not super cheap but as I say, this is a frequently-used tool and superior design and high quality construction.

I have those on my list. They would be great for tarpon fishing!

For 'pliers', these are both fantastic value:
