DPSElias Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I purchased one of these last month haven't used it much, but I initially noticed that my craftsman socket didn't stay on well, initially thought this was due to the china set that it was as the extension fit fine so I ignored it. Fast forward I was using it last night and I had the same issue with my USA made sockets. The socket will stay on but it flops up and down on the anvil. Anyone experience this or when you put a socket on it's on and doesn't move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmed Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I noticed the same on my M18 Fuel 1/2" impact (2763) and my craftsman sockets are USA made. I just got some impact sockets and they seem to fit much more snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Well I am glad I am not the only one seeing this, I will check with some of my 3/8 impacts....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK13 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The board seems to love Tekton. I have Sunex and Gearwrench in 3/8"and Kobalt in 1/2". I really like the Sunex. I got the 3/8" drive master set 3329 and the mid-length SAE 3327. I will get the 2848 1/2" drive super extra deep SAE. I've never used the GW stuff...3/8" drive metric shallows... seems like the only crap that breaks around here is old inch stuff? I can't help but think they all came from the same factory, though....

JackTran Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Also second Tekton. After reading about them here, I went ahead and bought a set off amazon. Great quality and big laser etch for easy visibility.Much better than my HF stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
