Yato vs SATA Socket Wrench Set: Comparing Options, Price, Warranty for PLN 400 Budget

Hello! I am going to buy a set of socket wrenches, some kind for about PLN 400 and I am wondering between these two companies. Yato has a slightly more equipped box for the same money, again Sata has a lifetime guarantee, and opinions on the Internet are divided. . . What do you recommend?

Buy yourself:

One whole class higher.

I do not agree. I know workshops working on Proxxons and others working on Yato. Some praise one, others others. I myself chose Yato for a private garage, because I think that the quality is fully sufficient and for PLN 400 Proxxon gives a modest suitcase and Yato full graze with everything you need.

I recommend buying caps for pieces, sizes that are used most often, 10, 13, 17, 19, 22, 24. A good company, e.g. King Tony, Gedore. However, the rest, even in a supermarket.

On the other hand, the bits chained in the cap - they fall out, twist. Either the bits are inserted into the socket or from a full forgings.

I have been using this Proxxon set for ten years. He went through a lot, turned back many times and somehow, apart from breaking the smallest flat screwdriver at his own request, the rest is still fully functional today. Nothing loosened, did not twist or fell out. Maybe it happens in cheaper sets. The rattles also work without a word of stuttering and are not spared. Therefore, I can recommend this set.
Yato, it's such a sugar-coated toya.

I'm not saying that they all fall apart. But I prefer bits from one forging, not so pressed in.

Of the keys that I can recommend, I have the longest-lasting King Tony and Geore, and old Romanian sets with a left-to-right ratchet with a handle that holds the socket. It was the only thing that could withstand the work and the stroke and the hand.

Thanks for your interest, although it did not help me much, because when I assumed the topic, I had a dilemma between two companies and now I have between three Returning to the topic, I will say this: I like these Proxons (I have already read a bit about them), although I must admit that I am a bit tempted by this yato box:
http://www.toya24.pl/zecja-narzedziowy-1-2-128-cz-xl.html
because it is for similar money, and it is very nice equipped. But on the other hand, I'm afraid that the troxy etc will break (chip), and the casing and flat ones will come apart so that instead of unscrewing they will only destroy the heads. As for the rattles, I'm not afraid, because I'm not going to break the screws with them. I just wish that the cap or the flat cap would last longer than unscrewing it with a meter pipe several times. I was also thinking about such a set as, for example, such Proxons:

but I would be pissed again if I spent PLN 700 on keys and they lack trox, etc., and this is really the last resort (when it comes to money) that I can spend on keys. And I would be even more pissed off if I took this Yato set with these flat Sata and these Yato would fall apart after a few uses. Also, I still don't know what to choose. . .

Nevertheless, I would recommend buying a cheaper universal set + a few sockets and hand wrenches, which are usually used in good quality. Besides, the screw usually has a head and a nut, you have to hold the other side with something.

And I advise you to buy it once, and do it again. You will buy a set of keys once and you will have it for years. Alternatively, you will complete it during the course with the required keys. And so you will have to replace damaged elements, instead of buying new ones .. In Proxxons the heads of the keys are reinforced, you can put a lot of force on them.
I personally work with several plants and somehow all have Proxxon kits. Because the cheapest of the decent ones (the really decent ones).

I have a set of Yato keys and a pair of screwdrivers from this company, I do not complain about them. If someone needs keys for amateur use, that's enough. I unscrewed the brake calipers in my Galaxy with a Yato wrench, the socket wrench probably "18", for this a knob from the set (not a ratchet) extended with a 1.5 m pipe, this operation did not leave the slightest trace on the tools.

And I avoid YATO and Stanley - as much as possible.
Proxxon, yes, and King Tony, Jonnesway, Techwa, Wera, Wiha, Beta, Honiton, Knipex, etc. I also recommend, only prices
But it's worth buying once and well for years ;)

I guess you meant GEDORE after all?

tomiok, King Tony impact sockets are really good Bought 97 'are like new until today.

I have a lot of Yato tools in my workshop - they are great, very good value for money. I've been using them every day for 10 years.

I would choose YATO, my dad uses it every day and nothing happens. But to unscrew a very tightly screwed nut (in a wheel after tightening with 3 pneumatic wrenches by specialists) ordinary sockets can get loose

I use Yato as an amateur - best value for money - definitely! However, if you want to use the tools heavily, buy something better, Proxxon offers better quality and is not as expensive as King Tony or Gedore. I would be afraid to put a pipe on a flat Yato ...
If you decide on YATO, see the STANLEY EXPERT X97 set. Quite a rich set for PLN 300. Sockets as in the other hexagonal.

I sincerely recommend Honiton, I have them 6 years old and they really stand, I use them all the time to repair my motos and my friends. The keys are so hard that after hammering the bolts (because it worked) the key remained the same size.

just compare the HONITON price with YATO
why would someone need such expensive keys that they would not use

I personally use the PROXXON socket and flat wrench set and it is amazing. Very solidly made and can withstand a lot.
Before, I used a Bosch rattle (green) and it just fell apart when the screw was seized. He unscrewed the PROXXON without any problems.
As for YATO, I have had screwdrivers for a year and unfortunately they have already made a bit of it. PROXXON bits are definitely more durable.

At my father's shop, they use Yato keys and praise them, so I can honestly recommend them.

I've had a 157-piece Craftsman set for several years. The rattles are really OK.

adamzaza and how often do you use them?

The topic is simple SATA, and the lifetime warranty can be put in if something goes wrong.

I don't use the Craftsman set too often for 7 years (minor car and tractor repairs). It should be remembered that these are hand wrenches and no part of the set is allowed to break even with great force. If we extend the arm of the key action (ratchet tube), there are no strong points. Then you should use wrenches for pneumatic tools (black sockets - they are specially marked).

For over four years I have been using Yato 1/4 and 1/2 inch zippers with their sockets.
I bought them for the amateur repair of my own car and other renovation and hobby works at home.
In order not to be empty.
Of the most difficult activities performed so far was unscrewing the nut 18 from the bolt connecting the rocker arm with the McPerson. Probably from 10 years, a screw that has not been unscrewed, sprayed with a penetrating preparation several times a day for 5 days. 4 market keys landed on the scrap heap. Yato immediately unscrewed the rattles with the telescope fully extended. In the second car, the same operation resulted in the screw being twisted.

To tell the truth, YATO is Chinese rubbish, only tweaked (nicely polished, suitcase, sponge) and I will not change my mind. Imagine my father is rusty. How can chrome keys get rusty? I also thought so far that this is not possible, but the truth is otherwise. If I don't forget, I'll take a photo in the evening and throw it, but the set is more or less like this:

I was fixing something on the car and it suddenly clouded over, but before it started to rain, I buried everything. Unfortunately, I did not notice that a dozen drops of rain fell on the keys in the suitcase. I closed the suitcase and put it neatly into a drawer.
One day I open it and I don't believe my eyes: corrosion on the keys and the fact that "chrome" rusted to steel. Unfortunately, this cannot be removed. Tragedy.
So I believe that the YATO brand makes decent tools only theoretically.
I still have the old RAFAN domestic production key set. They have been soaked by rain more than once and there is no sign of rust.

So, since YATO tools are incalculable in terms of repeatable quality (sometimes they will be good and sometimes bad), I advise you to avoid them.
Cheers!
Tom

YATO quality. Let me remind you, a few drops of rain fell on them only once and after a few days the effect was:

Yato, I myself am surprised by their durability I knock after that regularly with a hammer when I hammer something on twisted old, seized screws, with a rattle I unscrew the joints with a meter pipe and the only drawback is breaking one tooth in a large rattle, you can use it normally, it does not bother too much and a small rattle she also gave up after disconnecting the suction collectors, her teeth are too small, she would still survive to the cap 10 ...
Well, it is true that when you leave these sockets in the water, they will start to cover with ore, which does not exist, for example, in satin or neo, they also get dirty more, but for price differences it is better to buy a set of screwdrivers, torx, M and have a full set of decent tools, and when you manage to damage something, buy it from a higher shelf.

I have a Proxxon set, I praise myself - but interestingly it also rusts

I have a Yato set and a Honiton, the latter is with me a few years longer, and yet it looks better, Yato has cheesy rattles, and the bits chip, and I use them for occasional repairs, they are not completely suitable for a professional workshop.

They are suitable. Just about the tools and how to use them, you also need a little bit of a clue. There is no need to require miracles for this price. The same about rusting, unfortunately even professionals like to compromise themselves with ignorance and are surprised "... that chrome steel corrodes ..."
I will not mention the use of an impact wrench. It can only be compared to using flat screwdrivers as chisels or chisels.

Hello
I have a set of Yato YT-1268 for 5 years and all the keys are complete. Usually, the small ones could get lost while taking the car apart, but if it was missing, you would buy the same key immediately. there is nothing to complain about. We use the keys together with my brother, sometimes a friend
and somehow the keys hold great. First of all, you need to be able to use keys with
head, that is, do not put a 1-2 meter pipe on the rattle, because that's the way it is
each ratchet can be broken. The same applies to the use of flat wrenches, that you should not install the pipe as you unscrew it with a flat wrench, because the wrench will certainly break one day. used a pipe or other gear or greater force. Most people keep the tools in a shed or in a shed with a lot of moisture. When the suitcase gets wet, remove the tools and dry them
Techwa tools are made by other companies, and Techwa is only a trading company selling tools of well-known brands and some products under its brand, some of which are made in Poland, and a large part in China or by other manufacturers. the type of companies that distribute tools.
