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

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. :DQuote:

...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.
At Sears ?? :lmaoQuote:

Get that bike fixed and let's go riding. :thumbsUp:

Did you mean to say a 6 point verses a 12 point?Quote:

Got the nut off.
