The go to, lifetime warranty, best set I have owned.
Ok this is the set I take with me now on all my friend's "help me fix this" days. Its about half of what I normally carry and all of what I need. So happy they went black on this set. Do not get the smaller sets, upgrade now to at least 85 because the bits are hard to buy after the fact and rare.
No 100s of bits, just one pass through design. It fits so many combos and this specific 85 piece comes with EVERYTHING to even use your standard bits and specialty sockets you already have with it given the adapters are all here. Also comes with rare extenders in the case which a lot of similar sets from other companies do not.
Lifetime warranty from Craftsman built solid, but I will be getting a second or thrid 3/8 drive as the down time to send out wrenches of this type is a bit more lengthy. Some stores do not carry max axess or the whole line, it is not as simple as the standard store repair trade out or repair while you wait at Sears. You may have to have them order in and then warranty replace a week or more later so keep that in mind.
I plan to get a low profile 3/8th max axess as a backup to this one so I don't have downtime and I have options if I bust one or need the clearance. Used it a handful of times, works good, but I would feel a lot better with a spare. The 1/4th wrench is kinda cheap and the bits sit loose but nice for small places; if I beat it up bad I know I would break it. The 3/8th I have trouble getting the adapters in and out because it isn't broken in yet, nice and tight like it should be and better design.
All in all, a great compliment to your tool chest. I'm keeping all my old sockets for the repetitive work and may baby this set a bit more out of caution, but I'm happy.
