I use 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 17 all the time on Festiva stuff, I purposely have multiples of those for the reasons you describe tossing them out

Yup, add 17 to that list for me too.

I take all the 10mm's out and throw them away as soon as I get home. That way I dont have to continually keep looking for one.

Add in 8mm and I'm right there with you.

LMAO. It seems like the sockets used most are 8, 10,11 and 13mm. They always get lost.

I use them all the time. On jet engines most of the hardware is 12pt. Only have to buy SAE though. It's extremely rare to find something metric on an aircraft

Falcons use metric, and don't even get me started on that British standard crap they use on hawkers....

Highly disagree. Pittsburg stuff is pretty damn good. Especially their impact sockets. Most of my home use stuff is Pittsburgh.

I agree...the Pittsburg stuff has improved drastically over the years.

BTW....OP - thanks for posting this, I went ahead and ordered one to start my trailer box.

Craftsman tools are one step above harbor freight by slightest of margins

Am I the only one who seems to mysteriously lose sockets? I'm pretty sure it's my girlfriend not putting tools back where they belong.

do you have any adolescent children that like to make homeade bongs? i know when i was a young tike, we'd borrow sockets for bowls lmao

[Mysticcobrakilla]

How exactly are they going to know you are using it in a industrial setting?

I made the simple mistake of walking in to exchange out some broken sockets and two ratchets in my work uniform. All I got was a sorry, we don't warranty tools for professional use. I haven't been in a sears since.

I made sure Ashley has pretty much every tool she needs for when I'm not around. She's HORRIBLE about leaving shit around and not putting it away, and after last time she "played" with some of my box end wrenches and left them somewhere she won't touch my tool box or roller. Granted damn near everything I have is Matco and Snap-On, so misplacing a few wrenches is like $100 fucking dollars.

I can tell you from experience, sears won't warranty out their shit if they know you're using it in an industrial setting.

This is true, I haven't bought a craftsman tool in at least 10 years just because of this.

Crafstman does not have a lifetime warranty. It is only warranted until Sears goes under.
Next month? Next year? 5 years? How long can a retail store operate in the red?
