- Is this set SAE or metric?
- It is SAE. The listing also mentions metric sizes, but the 6-point sockets in this 20-piece set are SAE. Check the sizes printed on the sockets before buying for metric work.
- What is the difference between 6-point and 12-point sockets?
- A 6-point socket contacts the flat sides of a bolt head, so it grips better and is less likely to round a tight or rusted fastener. A 12-point socket is easier to start on a bolt but grips corners.
- What can a 1/4-inch drive set handle?
- It suits small fasteners on engines, appliances, furniture and bikes. It is not meant for lug nuts or heavily torqued bolts; use a 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch drive for those.
- Does it come with extensions?
- The 20 pieces are sockets and a ratchet. Extensions and deep sockets are usually sold separately, so check the piece list if you need reach.
- Is it covered by a warranty?
- Craftsman hand tools typically carry a lifetime warranty. Keep your receipt and check the terms that apply where you buy it.
- Is it a good first socket set?
- Yes for small jobs and tight spaces. If you plan to work on cars, a set with both SAE and metric sizes and a 3/8-inch drive will cover more.
