CRAFTSMAN Socket Extension Set / Socket Adapter Set, 10-Piece (CMMT42351)

Even though its been sold Craftsman is still a brand that gets some loyalty, and this is why. These are almost exactly the same as my last set of Craftsmen sockets and they seem to be the same high quality.

I think I paid less for this than what it used to sell for at Sears. All the pieces in the set are well made and very durable. Extensions and converters are super important to keep on hand.

Craftsman still making Quality tools.

I had to use these when working on my truck. they work great. easy to use and definitely do the job. they are worth the price.

I have been needing a set of swivels and this set is great. Several sizes and lengths and this is a great set.

Overall these are pretty good, and it’s a nice all-inclusive set for a beginner or someone filling a second workstation up with tools, as I am. Unfortunately these Craftsman sockets/ extensions just are not quite what they used to be. The finish/ plating is the main let down...the area that connects to the ratchet is basically unfinished on the extensions, and already rusting on our test sample here. Now, will it cause a serious problem in the near future? No. Having nothing to compare them to, will you care? No. But regrettably, when compared to my older US made Craftsman extension of the same length and model, you can’t ignore the differences in plating consistency and the lack of rust after 20 years hard use, while these new ones already show some corrosion. On the bright side, the universal joints feel good, not loose or sloppy, not too tight either. The detents on all of the extensions and joints click securely and work great. The fitment of the adapters is great. I’ve put a lot of torque on the universal joint and extensions breaking spark plugs loose as a test, and no issues. As we all know, if the U-joints are cheaply made, they break or fall apart instantly. No such troubles here, thankfully. This is a nice little set for someone looking to get the essentials for extensions, adapters, and u joints; very inclusive set that I have already used extensively. I can be a little disappointed in the details and still recommend this set because they price isn’t as high as the old tools were, overall you are getting what you pay for.

Very nice extention and universal adapter kit. Only negative is I wish it had a carry case that had molded spots for each peice, but knew that before buying.

I wish Id had this set a couple of weeks ago, when I had to take the rear bumper off my Jeep. Most of the bolts were easily accessible, but one of them wasnt, and that added a frustrating half hour to the job. I think the 1/2 universal joint in this set would have shaven that half hour back off. Everything in the set looks solid and well made. The universal joints are neither rattly loose nor too stiff and tight. All of the ball detents had just the right amount of resistance.

I got these for my husband. He really likes craftsman and finds them to be of great quality. These work really well for trying to get into those difficult areas that other tools just cant reach. Its a great addition to his socket set and, as always, has a lifetime warranty.
