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 189-piece CMMT12134 earns praise specifically for its low-profile 72-tooth ratchets and the mix of 6-point and 12-point sockets across 1/4-, 3/8- and 1/2-inch drives in both metric and SAE. High-trust r/Tools commenters call the tools 'fantastic,' note the 'ratchets are 90ish tooth so they work in tight spaces,' and report sockets surviving heavy professional use. The 5-degree arc swing and thinner ratchet heads are highlighted on the manufacturer and Lowe's listings.

The disagreement is real and worth surfacing: high-trust r/Tools threads about other Craftsman sets repeatedly criticize the blow-molded cases as 'junk,' and one widely-upvoted thread documents a 1/2-inch ratchet whose reverse selector broke internally, relying on the warranty for replacement. That warranty is itself cited as a mitigating strength.

Weighing the signals, the consensus is that the sockets and ratchets themselves are strong value with excellent dual-standard coverage, while the case quality and occasional ratchet defects are the recurring complaints to budget around.
