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

    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.
