I have a lot of Craftsman tools but the nearest Sears store is over 50 miles from me and they don't stock much anymore. Lowes at this point only has sets of Craftsman tools not individual stuff. I have a couple of Tekton impact socket sets that I have had a while and no complaints so far with them. I just this week bought 2 chrome sockets, this one and another size. The other was a CR-V socket, this one does not say that. I don't know if the newer sockets are made with different alloys or what but CR-V has long been the higher quality standard for chrome sockets, Chrome Moly for impact. Maybe they sell both but I can't find the option for CR-V on amazon or Tekton's web site. Time will tell if these are as good as many say they are, I usually use impact sockets now for almost everything and as I said these were purchased to replace missing sockets. Craftsman sockets are not as good as they used to be, I manage to break them all the time and not with an impact wrench. Hopefully Tekton will serve as well as the older Craftsman tools. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019* Haven't used it and hopefully I dont need to. Got it for my Toyota Tacoma to use with a Harbor Freight breaker bar for tire changes if necessary. Of you've ever used the provided tire iron you know they suck. Not helped by the fact that most places use an impact, and over torque your lug nuts making it extremely difficult to remove them with the tire iron. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well made socket *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020* Bought this socket for one purpose only, tighten and torque down tow balls to my tow bars. It's very well made with excellent machining and finish. It has no problems torquing up to 250 ft-lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/180067464-tekton-1-2-inch-drive-x-26-mm-shallow-6](https://www.desertcart.us/products/180067464-tekton-1-2-inch-drive-x-26-mm-shallow-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
