I bought a 1/2" drive Craftsman socket set with this "double square" crap and 6C15 is absolutely right about them being difficult to install especially when you're under the car, greasy hands, dirt in your eyes and this friggin socket won't go on the ratchet. WTF Sears? This crap was obviously designed to frustrate the backyard mechanic into buying a new car instead of working on the older stuff.
