I have yet to taste the fine wine of Snap on or Mac, and have broken Craftsman stuff before (a normal wrench, not a socket. I was removing the pedals from a pedalbike, had a pipe over the wrench, hit the back of it with a hammer while stepping on it, and it warped the end of the wrench). So craftsman kind of leaves the taste of crap in my mouth. But, it's kind of hard to find a bolt on my bike that I haven't undone and torqued properly, either through repair, maintenance, or customization. About the only thing I haven't messed with is the engine itself (except the clutch), so there should be no surprises. Hm... I may seek out a used, more expensive set. Or just give craftsman another shot.
Also, I've never used a 12-point wrench. I've always used the 6 point. I've used the 12-point head on a wrench before to allow myself to twirl the wrench around in a circle to loosen an already loosened nut, but that's it. What's the benefit of a 12 point socket though?
