Review on πŸ”§ TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive External Star Socket Set, 12-Piece (E4-E20) – Improved SEO by Victor Hurvitz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good sockets, terrible bracket/rail

I just received these sockets and to be honest haven't used them but they look great and judging by some of the other Tekton tools I have I expect so not any problems. They appear to be well made and the chrome and engraving look really nice. I usually buy more expensive brands but I don't think they get much use. The bad thing is that the sockets can hardly be removed from the holder without tools. I could barely remove the sockets by hand, and the guy I worked with couldn't even get one for free. I pryed them off with a screwdriver and threw the holder in the trash. It's a shame because that was one of the reasons I bought it. Although, judging by other reviews, I was just unlucky. I hope not all holders are so inadequate. Edit: After reading another review, it seems there is a method to remove sockets from the rail. All of the rails I currently have are the style you are currently taking off, but apparently they are different. I already threw mine away, so I can't confirm that.

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Flaws
