CRAFTSMAN Mechanic Tool Set 189 Pcs, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 Socket Set with 72 Tooth Low Profile Ratchet, Steel 6 and 12 point Sockets…

Across the reviewers we read, the Craftsman CMMT12134 189-piece set earns consistent praise as a well-rounded DIY kit. Its headline feature, echoed by craftsman.com and Lowe's listings, is a low-profile 72-tooth ratchet with a 5-degree arc swing and a head up to 25% thinner. High-trust r/Tools posters call the tools 'fantastic,' specifically like the mix of 6-point and 12-point sockets, and note the ratchets work well in tight spaces; one long-time owner says sockets from an earlier Craftsman set survived heavy professional use.

The disagreements are honest and worth noting. A recurring high-trust r/Tools complaint about Craftsman kits is that 'the boxes are junk,' and one thread reports a half-inch ratchet whose reverse selector broke internally—covered by warranty, but a real reliability data point. Community sentiment also distinguishes the current Taiwan-made ratchets from older USA models that some posters prefer. On balance the verified-purchase rating and high-trust community endorsement make this a top complete-kit alternative to the DeWalt, especially for buyers who value the thinner ratchet heads.
