Craftsman  6 pc. Standard 3/8 in. dr. Hex Bit Socket Set

bought these for a brake job, great tools as always

I have had no problems with this socket set. Worth the money and save a lot of time over using a standard allen wrench. I have used these with my 3/8" impact many times and have not broken one yet. Craftsman needs to make a set with longer heads for hard-to-access fasteners. Even a set with the ball-end would be nice.

Bought this Craftsman hex bits when they were on sale.  What a bargain.

I know they are dependable for they are well made and very strong.  I know I can depend on the Craftsman brand.

I like attaching them to my wrench so I can get enough torque to loosen the bolt.

The hex bit attach perfectly.

I've owned and used literally hundreds of sets of thes hex sets, and we that use them know full well they are prone to rounding out at the tips which renders the useless. This Craftsman set thus far has taken a lot of daily abuse from me at work and at home and have weathered the normal, and occasional abnormal use without much if any wear and tear. I've gotta say that my Craftsman tools are m uch more superior to any other I have used and/or owned. I love my Craftsman tools!!!

Price to high

Nice Craftsman hex socket set for a good price. However it isn't suitable for high torque applications. I broke the 10mm socket the first time I used it. It its defense I probably was applying close to 200 ft/lbs of torque when it gave way. As always Sears gave me a new one for free under the lifetime warranty.

the first time i used the set one of the hex bits snapped right off, spent the rest of the day trying to get the broken piece out, i am very dissapointed with this product, i have been using craftsman brand tools for many years now and this product is the worst, the bit broke as if it was not heat treated as stated in other reviews, went on line to see if it specifies if they are heat treated or not and it did not say also no one at my local sears store knew eather. I did return them though and they gave me a full refund.

I bought this 3/8-in. Drive 6-pc Hex Bit Socket Set and they performed perfectly! 

            The only fault I can find is the case that they come in.  It is about 3 inches too long (for the labeling) which uses up valuable tool box space.  A cover with the label on it would be more efficient and still provide a place for the label.

The first time I tried these the one I used on a matching fastener twisted like taffy and broke with very little force being applied.  I have used Craftsman hand tools for over 30 years and these had to be the worst Craftsman tools I have used.  They must have made them with the wrong steel or failed to heat treat them properly.  I dropped what I was doing and took it back to Sears and they replaced it without a hassle.  Hopefully, they have corrected the problem because they did not meet my expectations. 

I am a diesel mechanic and have had this set since 2002. I have never had to have any of them replaced. I work with guys who have snap on and cornwell tools, and I can tell you first hand nothing short of 'easy outs' will take out allens that have already been rounded out, nor will anyones chrome stand up to abuse from an impact wrench. If you use these properly, you will have no trouble. And I will second someones earlier comment, I always tap these in with a hammer to make sure they are fully seated, and to help break the bolt loose.
