Ive been looking tor oder some tek loks..Ive noticed that in addition to blade tech, Boker is also making them..Is their a difference between the two manufacturers? Quaility? Also when instaling tek loks will the chicago screws that come with them still connect when using eyelets in the kydex? Basically are they long enough when using .60 kydex with eyelets? Thanks
 
Should be fine with the eyelets, but make sure they're the big eyelets to clear the screws. Obvious but easy to overlook too. :)
I haven't used the boker ones, so can't comment on that. I also keep a few sizes of chicago screws on hand just in case, sometimes I want a rubber washer in between, sometimes I don't, sometimes I want a thicker one...
 
I have used both, can't tell the difference.
I use .080 kydex and the provided hardware works fine.
 
I've purchased large Tek-Loks (not sure of the brand) from knifekits.com along with .080 Kydex and 8-8 (1/4) eyelets and had plenty of thread to tighten it down.
