Craftsman Socket Question

CountryboyFX4 · Mar 12, 2012

Here the deal, I have a year or two old 10mm Deep Craftsman socket that is clearly marked like a normal Craftsman socket would be! The thing is its not a 10mm as marked but its an 8mm even though its marked 10mm! Is this socket rare or worth anything? Should I sell it or take it back and get a new 10mm at sears? I think its kinda cool so i am open to ideas! I can get pictures if they are wanted!

Probably not worth much of anything.

Just go buy a new socket and plant the mismarked one in a friends toolbox :bounce:

That's a good idea with planting it! I work on mostly Fords because I am Ford Certified at the independent shop i work at! Fords use a lot of 10mm so that would be funny!

That's what I thought! I didn't know if it was a rare screw up or what! I hear some things like coins that are missed in quality control are really rare and are worth some money! Wasn't sure if it applied to tools! Someone may collect tools that are factory screw ups you never know! Should I keep it and mess with people or sell it? or just keep it for an 8mm?

I just saw a mismarked 10mm Craftsman socket end on eBay last week at $154. $154 for a single socket!

I got a ratcheting wrench that was a 13mm once where the open end was 13mm and the ratcheting end was only 12mm. Took it back and they had to order me a new one. They screwed that one up and sent me the wrong tools, but hey, they let me keep the wrong ones...

This link has nothing! It loads up shot glasses not that socket! Any chance you could retry the link? Thanks a bunch for the help!

I think he is calling you a sucker.
BTW the only Craftsman error socket that I could find on eBay was part of set that sold for $16.

Here's a link to the max value of the socket:

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00944405000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

It's an error. There's likely someone out there that would be slightly interested in it, but there's no generally accepted special value to that socket beyond it's price new.

What yours shows is a wrong side marked socket! Mine is a 10mm marked socket but is actually a 8mm socket marked as a 10mm! not marked on the wrong end but completely wrong size on the socket!

That is a plain 8mm socket! Mine is a 10mm socket marked on the side but is actually not a 10mm its a 8mm! The bolt end of the socket is a 8mm when it is suppose to be a 10mm

back2class · Mar 13, 2012

I have a new 19mm that was stamped unsidedown. QC is not the best at the Craftsman factory

keithwvd · Mar 13, 2012

I have a deep socket that's stamped both 15mm and 17mm right over top of each other, I can never remember what size it actually is though hahah

Alright buddy... i don't know how to break it to you, but they're saying that it's worth nothing.

This thread was painful to read. :lol:

Well dude I was just going off what other people have posted! I have already received 2 offers on the socket! One for $15 and another for $10! so it is worth more than $2.99 like someone said! I listed it on eBay for kicks to see what it will sell for! Here is the listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/18084088648...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

hdpusher · Mar 13, 2012

I have a Plumb wrench that is mismarked. I think its cool so I keep it around for a conversation piece. Never thought of pranking anyone with it. Hummm.

Negatory, chief. I said:

Most people will find that socket worth less than retail. You've found that someone that's slightly interested in it. Sell it to them. Get a couple extra bucks out of it. Retire early.

kythri · Mar 13, 2012

Also, you realize that now that you've posted that link, the same jokesters will likely make you exorbitant offers via eBay, so take them with a grain of salt.

I actually find this thread quite entertaining (for all the wrong reasons, of course)

Someone has listed a poorly marked craftsman wobble extension for $50 on eBay. Maybe if you listed your socket as RARE and UNIQUE you'll find a collector (or prankster) trying to put together a set of mismarked metric craftsman sockets.

Squankum · Mar 13, 2012

You should list in on ebay as a Japanese metric 10mm. Metric stuff is smaller there, you know.

GirlnAgarage · Mar 13, 2012

And everyone complains Cman is oversized junk

Ok that is a flipping joke! I listed mine for .99 cents starting and $5 shipping! that's reasonable! Not $50 starting bid!
