I bought ten years ago when I open my shop a complete set of TopTul sockets, ratchets, bit sockets and like some many people I was a little bit affraid of the quality well I used every single day for the past ten years and the durability and quality are outstanding, I have all my sockets and extension in satin finish and hold up extreme well, the chrome after ten years are in perfect condition and I never break anything in those years in fact I have a set of deep sockets from anoyher tool company that start with the letter "S" that cost me on sale 5 time more and the crome start to peel of at the moment with much less use, so in my opinion the TopTul sockets, wrenches and ratchets for the price are one of the best on the market. Here in Europe by the way are very popular. Great Buy Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@HardKnocksForge7 жыл бұрын
I have a 3/8 set of OEM I won in a giveaway. They look pretty identical, as far as the broaching, to these Toptul sockets. They are Taiwan made and have the satin finish as well. I was very impressed with the OEM set. Everything seems to be excellent quality. It came with a ratchet, wobble, 3 wobble plus extensions, 5/8 & 9/16 magnetized spark plug sockets, shallow and deep sockets from 8-19 and all in a foam tray for $60 using my link. If toptul and oem aren't made by the same company I'd be very surprised.
@MarkFox7 жыл бұрын
Good possibility they are made by the same company, Toptul products are made by the Rotar Group and I'm sure they make products for other companies. www.toptul.com/en/2-2179/about.html

TopTul holds the Patent on the wobble square drive shape that actually works. That shape is licensed to other tool brands to use.. Top Tul also makes a very good quick release extension..

I just purchased the socket sets from Dennis shown in this video on your recommendations. I have also been in contact with Dennis about carrying the Toptul 20 pc. screwdriver set Dennis is looking into this. Dennis said Toptul screwdrivers are top of the line comparable to Wera, Wiha, or PB Swiss and the Phillips head screwdrivers are JIS standards.
@MarkFox7 жыл бұрын
I think you will be very happy with the socket set, I don't think there is a better deal out there. I haven't had the chance to try the screwdrivers yet but I have seen Eric O from SMA using them.
@twinwankel8 жыл бұрын
Very nice find. For the price it seems to be a good deal. My only issue with the socket design is the flat walls. Some of my ratchets are not quick release and when my fingers are greasy, having them grooved or knurled is a requirement. I do like the large numbering but those rails don't hold the sockets well and they will fall off. I buy Gearwrench sockets which have excellent wall design and have plastic rails that are secure but are more expensive. I like the through holes on the handles of the picks so you can hang them on peg boards instead of dumping them in a drawer. That's a great idea.
@MarkFox8 жыл бұрын
I've been happy with all the stuff for the short time I have owned it so far. I'm going to do a comparison between many 1/4" drive ratchets and sockets very soon.

Here in the Philippines we have a site somewhat like Amazon called Lazada. Toptul has some really nice looking stuff, including tool cabinets and portable tool boxes, loaded with tools set in CNC cut foam inserts. Wish I knew before ordering my Tekton tool set from the USA.
@MarkFox4 жыл бұрын
Hi William, unfortunately we lost out one TopTul dealer here in the USA but I'm glad you have it available in the Philippines. The Tekton stuff you bought from the USA must have many travel miles on it unless you purchased screwdrivers or pliers from them, those are the only Tekton things I can think of that are made in the USA. The Majority of Tekton stuff is made in Taiwan and I'm surprised they don't sell it in the Philippines.
@flipicaneze4 жыл бұрын
@@MarkFox I have family who sent me the tools from the USA, in fact still in shipment right now. But I have a respect for Taiwan, being a computer nerd and car geek, Taiwan makes the best computers and great tools. I was thinking of starting a business selling Tekton here, but it may be a tough sell.
@MarkFox4 жыл бұрын
I hope your new tools make it to you safely! I also a computer nerd myself but my computer videos don't get many views so I stopped making them. I've built 4 new Ryzen systems this year (so far) but finding some parts is still difficult. Mainly good power supplies ( Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair) are hard to come buy and when you do find them for sale the price is way over inflated. If you do decide to sell Tekton Tools I wish you the best of luck! I visited the Philippines a few times when I was in the Navy, great people over there and I would like to visit again someday.

@@MarkFoxShipments go through Taiwan and have always come here quite safe, wither by air or sea cargo. The law is here they cannot open my shipment unless I'm present. But if it might interest you, the US Navy (along with Australia Navy) is opening up Subic Bay again. Might be fun for you to visit.
