Help buying teng tools
Discussion
Hi all I'm a new member but long time reader, was hopeing someone could advise on somewhere to buy teng tools.I should say that about 2 years ago I bought about £1000 worth of teng stuff from toolshack and had a nightmare. I have seen threads on here and elsewhere about people asking about teng ect but thought I mayhave been unlucky so "keept me gob shut" if someone could point me towards a nice man/ woman who can help , that would be sooooo help full I would also like to add that 98% of my teng tools and box I love and want to add to it thank for your help
Why would you want to buy more? 2 year old tools should be good as new! Some of the stuff in my boxes is older than me and still looks new despite having a hard life. Teng's nicknamed 'Twang' for a reason you know 
Try a better brand. If you're just a home-spannerer a couple of hundred quid should get your set up nicely with a fairly good selection from the halfords professional range. It's decent enough stuff, good value too and they'll replace anything that breaks (doesn't happen that often) with a new replacement in store on the spot.
If you're using them for work use or heavier stuff, or fancy spending a fair whack more for no real reason if you're not, have a look at the likes of Snap-On, Mac Tools and so on.
Honestly, Teng stuff for the large part simply isn't that good. I've worked for a company who insisted on using teng where possible, and the failure rate was pretty damn high. Shame really, their older stuff seems much better.

Been there, done that, got the new spanner 
Very highly recommend the Halfords Pro stuff for this reason if nothing else.
I have a ten year old Teng toolkit. It is a 1/4" set with all the bits I need for working on a bike.
The fittings themselves are fine and the ratchets (even the tiny one) are very good but what gripes me is that I get light corrosion on the sockets - and I can be anal about keeping my tools in good order, including regularly spraying them with WD40.

Not forgetting the lifetime warranty, I used Teng on a variety of rally cars with no issues and infact they ran rings around Snap Off!The fittings themselves are fine and the ratchets (even the tiny one) are very good but what gripes me is that I get light corrosion on the sockets - and I can be anal about keeping my tools in good order, including regularly spraying them with WD40.
Teng are good. Better chrome than Snapped It tools.
Google Prime Tools.
It is something like prime-tool.co.uk or primetool.co.uk
They have Teng, Britool, Kamasa, Facom all at low prices. They also have a great discount page and a clearance page.
I got all my Britool stuff from them, it arrives within 3 days. Good people to deal with.

Very good service.
Thanks for replys just would like to add that when a company says that they will replace anything broke ect what toolshack told me is that they will change ONE thing anything else go elsewhere ( no joke) and this after spendin near on a grand . So I'm left with a couple of things I'm not happy with , thanks for your advice m
Teng tools are ok, but Teng storage is better...
I'd go with Hitachi power tools myself, Tool Guru have some offers on at the moment so definitely worth looking. Tool guru ---> http://www.toolguru.co.uk/
