CRAFTSMAN Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4 Inch Drive, 20 Piece (CMMT12108)

Time of ownership: Less than a month.I don't usually review items this quickly after purchase, but over the years, I have found sockets and wrenches, with the possible exception of the rachet mechanism in the socket wrench, to be infinitely durable.This product is exactly what I wanted. I wanted sockets from 6-mm to 13-mm, all ¼" drive, and reasonably priced; and I wanted the corresponding SAE sizes too. There is conveniently an extension included in the case.For comparison, there are two Walmart socket sets that are cheaper that some people may be interested in, but they each have shortcomings. There is a $13 set that uses a ⅜ ratchet only and uses an adapter for the small sockets. I prefer everything to be ¼" ratchet drive because the wrench is smaller, which is a feature I often need when using these small sockets in tight spaces. There are also extra screwdriver bits included that fit on the socket wrench, but that's not something I care much about. If you want to save money, don't mind the bigger ⅜" ratchet drive, and appreciate the extra screwdriver bits, this set may be for you.They also have a 19-piece set for $15 that is similar to the Craftsman one, except it lacks the following: the 12-mm and 13-mm sockets; the corresponding SAE sizes; and an extension. The 12- and 13-mm sizes have crossover with a ⅜" ratchet drive set, but I still prefer to have those sizes in ¼" drive as well. And I do value that the extension is included in the Craftsman set.The durability of the ratchet is the main question, but I've seen those fail only on occasion. This set is probably fine for most people, and I appreciate that all sockets use ¼" drive for all bits and no adapter is needed. The case closure mechanism looks quite durable too, better than most closure mechanisms I've had for tool sets.

I got this for my dad for father's day, he really liked it

it was what i was looking for for a set to have at home for small repairsnow i need a few more tools...

Good quality according to this ammature.

Although nit rhe quality from 30 or so years ago, craftsman is a midrange quality tool. At least they are covered under the lifetime warranty. We have a place locally but they still need to be ordered. I will continue to buy their tools knowing they can be replaced if needed.

very good set

This is a solid socket set for the house at an amazing price. Cheers!

Very durable
