CRAFTSMAN CRAFTSMAN V-Series CMMT86501V 2-Pack Ratchet Set (1/4" & 3/8" Drive)

The CMMT86501V is a bare 2-ratchet pack · one 3/8" drive and one 1/4" drive, both fixed-head with full polish chrome Cr-V steel construction. The 3/8" ratchet's 96-tooth mechanism produces a 3.75° arc swing, competitive with any mid-market 90-tooth design; the 1/4" ratchet uses an 80-tooth mechanism (4.5° arc swing), adequate for trim fastener work. Both feature an enclosed head that seals the mechanism against dirt and a low-profile directional lever to prevent unintentional direction switching. Community data is thin, with no mechanism failures reported by owners and positive owner comments on action smoothness, though the review base is still modest as of May 2026. No extension bars, universal joints, or storage case are included; buyers who need deep-socket reach must purchase those separately.

Right pick if you want to add a tight-space capable 3/8" ratchet (96-tooth, 3.75° arc swing) and a lightweight 1/4" drive companion to an existing toolbox that already has extensions and sockets. Skip if you need a ready-to-use out-of-the-box set · the absence of extension bars means this pack cannot reach deep fasteners without supplementary purchases, and the missing 1/2" drive leaves suspension and wheel work uncovered.

Chrome-vanadium steel hand tool · no chemical exposure pathway; no SDS. Cr-V steel is fully recyclable through standard metal recycling; the absence of a storage case eliminates the plastic component that typically complicates end-of-life disposal. The Craftsman Lifetime Limited Warranty covers manufacturing defects; any lubricant or penetrant used alongside this tool carries its own hazard profile · check the individual product review for PPE guidance.
