Good quality socket at an economical price

Would Recommend

The finish and fit is good and traditional Craftsman quality. The socket stays on the ratchet or extension as it should but easy to remove. The 12-point sockets allows removal of bolts in tight spaces not easily accessible. The size etched on the socket is not easily visible from a distance.

It’s a socket and it sockets like the rest of them

Removing a hot water heater element and I stripped the cheap metal element remover found in the plumbing section. Picked this socket from the tool department and it got the job done and I have a socket that I can use on more than heating elements and it is currently the largest socket I own. It’s a socket and this socket sockets like all the rest of them. However, this particular socket saved the day. How many sockets can you say that about? Solid purchase.
