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?
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.
Well I am glad I am not the only one seeing this, I will check with some of my 3/8 impacts….thanks
Yep so my standard sockets fit loosely while my impact sockets are nice and snug….hrmmm decision what brand of impacts should I get to complete my collection 🙂
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….
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.

My 1/2″ USA Craftsman sockets are loose but I just picked up a standard chrome 1/2″ Kobalt socket set and they are nice and snug.
