Metrinch. Not cheap, getting harder to find, but only one set of wrenches and sockets needed to fit any standard of measurement. Grips the flats of nuts & bolts, not the corners. Haven't had many situations that were so tight there was no room for the slight movement needed to grip: more of an issue with wrenches than sockets. I use them with my impact driver all the time, as the standard sockets that I have are impact rated. In 20+ years of ownership, have never had one round anything off, never had one fail. In many cases these will grip rounded nuts & bolts.
The Craftsman brand name was sold to Stanley Black and Decker in January 2017. Stanley Black and Decker is one of several suppliers of Husky tools. Kobalt tools are currently made by J S Products. Stanley Black and Decker also owns DeWalt, Porter Cable, Lennox, Mac and Bostitch brand names.
Maybe soon Kobalt and Husky will be just different names on the same tools!

What I really need to do is go on a hunt for all of my missing wrenches and sockets.
The first thing I noticed after unpacking them was how thin the socket walls are. Much thinner than any of my other sockets. Guess I'll add these to my up-in-the-house tools where I'm not as likely to encounter needing to use a breaker bar or impact driver. They may be just fine, but I don't want to test just how strong they are under extreme conditions.

I won't know until I do my search! For one, I bought a new 9/16" open-end wrench, but I needed an 11/16". By chance, I happened to go through my Home Depot purchase history and saw where I already purchased an 11/16" wrench. The challenge now is to find it. It fits the collet on my Dewalt D26670 router.What do you need / what are you missing?
