- Does this set include deep sockets?
- Only a limited number. Most of the 159 pieces are standard-depth sockets, so plan on buying deep sockets separately for lug nuts and recessed bolts.
- Is it 6-point or 12-point?
- The sockets are 6-point, which grips fastener flats and resists rounding. That is better for worn bolts but can be tighter to fit in cramped spots.
- What drives does it cover?
- It has 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive ratchets with matching sockets and extensions, so one case handles small trim work up to suspension-sized fasteners.
- Does it come in a case?
- Yes, it ships in a blow-mold case with labeled slots. The case is bulky but keeps the set portable and sorted.
- Is it covered by a warranty?
- Craftsman hand tools carry a lifetime warranty. Keep the receipt and contact Craftsman for replacement of a failed ratchet or socket.
- Is it good for a beginner?
- Yes. It covers the common metric and SAE sizes a home mechanic needs, and the three drive sizes mean you can start with one set instead of buying several.
