Whenever I am about to climb underneath my car to change the oil, this is the tool I grab. So far, I have NEVER needed to climb back out and revisit my toolbox because I had the wrong size. That alone makes this tool worth its weight in gold!
The magnet on the side lets me stick it to my metal creeper rails so I don't forget it under the car also.
I loved my regular dog bone so much I got the metric one also now i will have all the sizes that i will ever need. I don't have to look for different sockets now i have 16 all within reach on 2 tools.
We have bought one of these for every guy in our family. They just love them! Great price and fast shipping too.
My husband always gets a new tool for our anniversary . Logical gifts at our house. He is a journeyman maintenance technician. He has said that the tool is great he hasn't had to carry all of the other sockets with him to fix a machine. As long as he's happy ,were all happy.
I have this tool in my backpack when going biking as I felt this was handy. Sure enough it saved me from having to push my bike 5 miles when my crankarm loosened and had to be retighten with a wrench. The length of the wrench provided good fulcrum for tightening the bolt on the crankcase. Sense that incident, I have never had to retighten it again but I ride with this wrench in my backpack with confidence.
I own several Craftsman tool sets and have been a firm believer in their quality for several years. I received this tool as a birhtday gift. After cleaning the label from the handle I saw the China stamp on it. As i rotated the ends in my hand, I noticed a good bit of play in both ends. One of the retaining pins fell out in my hand as I rotated it. This makes me loose any confidence at all in using this tool. I will never purchase a Craftsman tool that has China stamped on it.
I have only used a few times so far, but has worked well and seems very sturdy!
