CRAFTSMAN 230-Piece Mechanics Tool Set with VERSASTACK Box (CMMT45306)
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The CMMT45306 is CRAFTSMAN's 230-piece mechanics set: ratchets and sockets in all three common drive sizes, combination wrenches, hex keys and bits, all in a 3-drawer box that stacks with the VERSASTACK system. It ranks among Amazon's top sellers in Tool Sets.
This is the set for the dad who would rather fix it himself. Battery terminals, trailer hitch pins, lawn mower blades, the bolts on a power rack that loosen over time.
The Numbers That Matter
Three drive sizes, SAE and metric. Quarter inch for small fasteners, 3/8 in. for most car and home work, 1/2 in. for the stubborn bolts on a truck or hitch. Having both measurement systems means American and imported hardware are both covered.
72 teeth, 5 degree swing. The ratchet only needs a small arc to catch the next tooth, which matters when there is almost no room to move the handle in an engine bay.
3 drawers with a locking dial. One turn locks the drawers, so the box can ride in the truck without dumping sockets across the floor.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 230 pieces, 3 drive sizes | How many jobs one box covers |
| SAE and metric | Domestic and imported bolts both fit |
| 5 degree arc swing | Working room in tight spaces |
| Locking drawers | Whether it can ride in the truck |
| Full lifetime warranty | Tools that can go to the next generation |
Who It Is For
The truck owner who handles his own maintenance and the gym owner who keeps equipment running. For fast driving work, the DEWALT DCK240C2 drill and impact driver kit covers what a ratchet is slow at. The DEWALT DCL050 work light lights up the engine bay, and the WORKPRO 16-inch tool bag carries the everyday hand tools when the big box stays home. For roadside fixes away from the garage, the Leatherman Wave Plus rides in the glovebox.

The Short Version
The CMMT45306 is the one box that handles a battery swap, a trailer hitch bolt and a loose bench on the gym floor. Three drive sizes and both SAE and metric mean fewer trips to the store for the one socket you are missing. If your jobs stop at furniture assembly, a smaller set is enough.
