Just wondering if anybody has tried these out I want get a set of these for the house cus I ain’t gonna spend as much as I did for my snap on ones at work if not which brand do u guys use?
I haven’t use those yet. in the new UTB are a bunch of tekton kits included – looks pretty good.
I own a Husky 187piece kit – bought it for $99 when it was on sale
Tekon makes nice stuff with a pretty nice no hassle warranty. Plus they are from Michigan so I have to give them the home team advantage!
Have not, I have some dewalt ones that due the trick for me.
The majority of my impacts are Tekton, including the ones on the race trailer.
I’ve never had an issue with any of them and I’ve used them when my big Proto air gun had trouble.
They’re a great value
Isn’t the saying its not if your impact sockets break its more like when?
No experience with Tekton, but I have a couple of sets of Sunex that I like quite a bit…
I think Tekton has the best value impact sockets period.
My suggestion would be to go with their “master series” sets……aka “not missing any sizes”. I saw on here that you ordered a 2763, which is the 1/2″ impact…..so you may want to check out a full set of the metrics in shallow & deep well lengths. I primarily use the Tekton 4883 set (deepwells) about 95% of the time, since it gives you extra length for reaching fasteners without sacrificing power by using an extension.
Here is the video I did on them Mike…
It just sucks if you get an impact wrench you need to buy long and short reach sockets the you have the other kicker Imperial and Metric I wish we swapped standards having to buy double of everything sucks 🙂
the Tekton stuff looks really nice.. I’ve been looking for a reason to pick up some of their stuff. my impact socket assortment is lacking so this might be what i pop on..

do you think this will ever happen?? i can’t imagine it I’m my lifetime but who knows… even if they started adopting metric here in the states now it would be generations before it was mainstream
Thanks for the feedback guys I’m definitly gonna pick both sets up nice review Woodstockva and thanks for that I was lookin at these sets and for the price and all the good reviews they get I had to ask the crew what u guys think. Thanks crew! T.I.A!!

Any modern vehicle regardless of manufacturer is almost all metric anymore.
Just got these bebes home!! I like the cases that they come in there not to bad and the impacts look great Thanks crew for ur guys opinion and feed back and I can’t wait to put these Tools In Action!!
grats mike – looking good. for work or your garage?
Thanks MM!! These r staying home I have a set of snap on ones at work that cost me way more than these 2 sets together though they have lasted me the last 6yrs I will not spend that much ever again these Tekton look like there gonna hold up very well
I don’t know if I would trust the sockets that are two sizes in one. Other than that they don’t look bad at all. Apparently everyone who bought the Snap-on kit at my school received 12 point fractional impact sockets.
Wow those are some impressive sockets.
Got these 3/8 Tekton impact sockets today I’m really Likeing these sockets a lot
nice mike – you are really stocking up on those sockets 😛
