V-SERIES Socket Set, Shallow SAE, 1/2 Inch Drive, 21 Piece (CMMT45754V)

Great purchase, excellent quality, very functional

Thoroughly Impresses with Quality

Backdrag was truly terrible out the box but Stanley B&D brands always are dry out the box so lubricant oil of some sort is a must, preferably a soak then chuck up a socket adapter and socket that fits the anvil into a drill with a fairly low resistance clutch on the lowest setting and spin that bad boy for a min or two 500-1k revolutions in 30 second to 1min increments making sure the ratchet isn’t getting too hot but spin it each way and silver flakey looking anti seize of some sort will come out and keep oiling it into the anvil flushing it out as ur stopping and starting the spinning for immediate break in which does have risks of breaking the ratchet if Your not careful but after that my ratchet is buttery smooth and that’s coming from someone who uses predominantly use ratchets such as the Ko-Ken z, stahlwille and snap ratchets but these kits aren’t bad at all for 150 and I’ve seen As low as 80 being cleared out of the big blue home improvement store and for that these are a killer car set that actually has most of what you’ll see in a breakdown situation on a modern vehicle 10-32mm with a few skips however unlike the v series ratcheting wrench sets in this set at least didn’t skip important sizes without an sae equivalent…anyhow also includes a 10” locking extension that cleverly serves as the cases handle , a u joint another locking extension & the case is the same as the facom detection box and idk the name but the brand Usag also sell a kit in this case all around 200 for the 1/2” however if I were to pay that much I’d get the new Facom set that includes (Lock-on/ RBRT/xgrip/Ogv grip/ overdrive/supagrip/ xion drive / Xeon drive rigor/ Bergen/ us pro anti slip style) fluted 6pt sockets which I think are excellent and similar to the sealey premier lock-on line which is a phenomenal impact socket line and has been out almost a decade if not a decade

This is a great set to have. It's my go to at my job. In my opinion this has been their best professional line of the newer craftsman product. I like it more then the overdrive set I have even though I do like the overdrive series as well. This set has want you for most of your everyday jobs. I have both the standard and metric sets and the quality and durability have been great so far

Gr8 set and nice box

Been collecting Craftsman tools for over 15 years and the V series Line is underrated. You can’t beat the feel, size, fit, functionality, durability or ease of use!

Really nice 3/8 rachet set and the carrying case is one of the most innovative and quality items I've seen. Too bad the Craftsman V-Series tools didn't sell well towards the dynamic is was designed to serve. Craftsman hasn't had quality looking tools of this level since the Craftsman Professional Series stuff. I have some Craftsman Professional Series combination wrenches that were really nice for the time and still hold up by today's standards.

Craftsman quality and it’s a great set to have in the truck has your basic needs for sure I like the case aswell seems a little better then typical cheap plastic ones.
