What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the comprehensive tool selection, solid build quality, and exceptional value, particularly when purchased on sale. Many highlight the variety of SAE and metric sockets, deep and shallow options, and ratcheting wrenches as ideal for home repair. However, recurring concerns include missing components—especially 23mm and 24mm sockets—inconsistent quality control, and tools arriving dirty or defective. Some note the absence of a carrying case and incomplete product documentation. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider the set worthwhile and recommend it.

Nice quality kit
Would RecommendEverything in the kit looks and feels to be really good quality. The actions on the ratchets are nice you get multiple clicks in a tight spot so it works well in confined spaces. Only con I saw with the kit was it comes with a lot of smaller sizes that you'll never use.

Great Tools But Check For Mistakes
Would RecommendGreat tools for the money, but my set had several missing sockets. Check the contents against the inventory list.

no tool box - comes in plastic trays
bought this because I thought it came with a tool box. I was wrong. why do I want my tools in plastic trays? I guess I'll scatter them under my bed since im not going to use them anyway. I buy tools just so I can feel like a 1/4 of the man my grandfather was
Hello Valued Customer and thank you for your feedback regarding the CMMT12139 CRAFTSMAN 298-Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Polished Chrome Mechanics...

Came rusty and the finish on sockets were bad
I did a review once already but it seems like Lowe’s didn’t post it. Lowe’s and craftsman should be ashamed of their selves for not having better quality control on items. This kit I bought by craftsman when opened had rust on quite a few tools and the finish on the sockets looked they were thrown in a tumbler with rocks and turned on. I have been a craftsman fan for 43 years up to now. I think harbor freight Pittsburgh tools have now passed craftsman overall. Lowe’s and craftsman you need to t...
Great set, but missing 1 item
Would RecommendWas looking for a pretty complete socket set to put in my new rolling/tool cabinet. I have other socket sets, but sockets seems to have gone 'missing'. Downloaded the inventory PDF and converted/copied to an excel sheet and did my inventory. Wanted to match what was posted online, and it looks like they swap quantities between the 1/2 Deep/Shallow sockets.(see attached Lowes picture for the Package Includes picture) There's 28 1/2 Deep/53 3/8 Deep/24 1/4 Deep socket. So it looks like they gave...
Case?
Would RecommendDoes this set come with a case like the 16 pc. set sold at Lowes? I need a case to keep these in my work truck, I also need the full 22 pc. set.
I returned the tool the store refused to help
Would Not RecommendOne of the most important tools came to me defective

Very Disappoint with Quality of Product
Would Not RecommendI was excited to find this socket set to replace my current set that has several missing sockets. I was always taught that Craftsman Tool were top notch, and my tool set is 95% Craftsman tools. This set looked like a perfect set, however there were numerous disappointing problems with the set. Chrome was dull and had some kind of a coating on some of the sockets, stamping was poor on several sockets (letters and sizes were not legible or very hard to read) and set was incomplete with several...

way overpriced!!!
this set is way overpriced for what you are getting. this has to be a misprint due to the fact you can buy the 81 pc for a fraction of the cost and its the same metal ect.
