Snapped the 11/16 socket trying to take the clutch basket nut off with a 350lb torque wrench.

Sears is great about replacing tools but once they had an issue because I used a regular socket in an impact.

So don't say it was on an impact when I replace it?

Their standard sockets are not meant for impact wrenches and a 16 point socket is the weakest possible choice for a tough job. Just saying.
Even a Harbor Freight cheapo impact 8-point socket will endure such a job.

The Harbor Freight adapter was the next thing to break when I pulled out the Allied 8-point. :D

Needless to say, the nut is still holding the clutch basket in place.

...Use a proper socket, and , ( Christmas is coming ), invest in some higher quality tools than Freight sells. As for Craftsman tools....well, I am guessing the case here is likely mis-use of the tool, than the tool being defective.

Sometimes it leaves marks on the inside from hammering. Only a problem if you get someone who knows what there looking at. What are the odds of that.

I've had Craftsman tools for years, they're great stuff.

As Doc said wrong socket for impact wrenches. Snap-On and others make sockets that are intended for impact wrenches, they have much heavier side walls.

Did you mean to say a 6 point verses a 12 point?
Yes, a Harbor Freight 6 impact socket is stronger than a standard Craftsman 12 or 6 point. If he has room for it.

Got the nut off.

Yes, a Harbor Freight 6 impact socket is stronger than a standard Craftsman 12 or 6 point. If he has room for it.

Long day I guess. I've never seen a 16 point socket but I have drawers full of 12s and another drawer full of 6s. :D
