New 1/4 craftsman sockets

[simco6]

Had to get some stuff from local Sears they had a 1/4 socket set and I wanted it to try on the impact driver this stuff looks worse than the China stuff we all got as play tools when we were 5 years old. I hadn't bought any craftsman sockets in at least 5 years this stuff ***** I am definitely done with this garbage and going to gearwrench stuff at least it looks ok

Those look as bad as the $4 25 piece hf set, how did you get the picture? I hope you didn't buy them.

I have been done with craftsman ever since I tried to warranty out an american made ratchet and they wanted to replace it with one made in china. I didn't buy a china made ratchet I bought an american made one.

If your going to use an impact maybe u should buy impact sockets

Is this the set that sells for $14.99?

This, nothing in the OP's post about it failing to perform, just that it does not look pretty.

 

[Jure]

you split the socket? if it survived the impact use,well then i dont see the reason to be angry lol

I'm not sure how it even qualifies as not "looking pretty".


It looks about right to me


What is the issue with the socket?

It made the toolbox it's sitting on bubble the paint and corrode!

 

[Kirbot]

I'm not quite sure what I'm missing here... Was it not stamped properly or something?
My chinese craftsman sockets look pretty decent...

COO and brand snobs need to vent somewhere. I prefer my tools to be American or German made but I don't have an issues with where it came from or how it looks as long as it does the job.

good consumer!

 

[AmishFury]

the stamping isn't the most attractive IMO then again i can only compare this picture to my mid 90s and older c-man sockets which have that shallow stamping on them

Function may follow form but at the end of the day all I care about is the function. I can't see anything wrong with the socket.

I am sorry, after enlarging it, I still don't see any thing wrong with it? Please advise what is wrong with it. thanks
