Gearwrench extensions and craftsman sockets

[weerez935]

Do they fit well?

I've read on here that only craftsman extensions fit easy read sockets. Mine are made in USA easy read sockets if that matters.

I'm asking because the gearwrench extensions come in nice foam trays for organizing.

Also do locking wobble extensions replace the need for standard extensions?

Thanks.

never had a problem with any extension in a crafts man socket

Craftsman sockets have two sets of indents, doesn't really make a difference. At all, just no point to it.

All extensions fit all sockets if they're the same drive size. That doesn't mean you won't find factory defects on some stuff that makes fit less desirable than it should be.

I don't know about "locking" wobble but these essentially work the same way as regular extensions except with an allowable angle on the socket. I only use them when clearance is an issue but you can use them all the time without any real issues unless it's to break a higher torque bolt...will probably snap the wobble off, 1/2" probably won't, I use that setup sometimes with a short kobalt wobble, I think that's a regular crv not an impact wobble (can't remember though). Gearwrench taiwan should be comparable to the kobalt taiwan.

My GW extensions fit my Craftsman sockets just fine.

Mine didn't come in foam trays, though, they came in thin plastic molded trays - throwaway kinda stuff - but, then, I think all of those style trays are a waste of space, especially for extensions.
