Max Axess - Update to include 1/2 drive

Craftsman updated the product to now include a 1/2 option, it's on sale for $105.

So you can get 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive with sockets from 3.5mm - 24mm and 27mm and similar SAE.

I tested a Max Axess set pretty thoroughly some time ago, and came away less than impressed. It's an awkward system to use:

Max Axess vs. alternatives

This "idea" is older than dirt! I had a set from Sears I bought 20 years ago. Called something like "O" socket . Did not have a Craftsman lifetime guarantee. They can be very handy, but the problem was with the ratchet being very weak. Just couldn't take the hard work of a normal socket wrench. I tried to contact the manufacture, but they were out of business so I trashed it.

Hopefully, they are stronger now and Sears will give them their regular guarantee....

Ive got a set of these and the work fine for what i do. i also have a much larger set of wrenches so not having the 1/2" is ok.. they were a b-day gift and on sale for under $50.. so not a bad deal for a compact set

I purchased this set three weeks ago. The build quality is excellent. It is a compact set with both metric and standard sizes, great for any trail rig. The extensions are pass through as well. There is a small handle and a large handle. It doesn't really go by size like conventional size socket drives (1/4, 3/8, 1/2). I am a Refrigeration Mechanic by trade, they have worked well for me.

A couple of years ago (Christmas 2011) I bought a ton of Craftsman tools. I only bought tools that were made in the USA. I got some smoking deals because Sears was eliminating the "Professional" and "Industrial" lines to standardize to their new made in China stuff. I don't buy any Craftsman stuff anymore. If you want cheap China made stuff, Harbor Freight has similar quality and warranties for less money.
