CRAFTSMAN®, an American icon that homeowners, home builders, auto enthusiasts and master mechanics have trusted since 1927, announces OVERDRIVE™ mechanics tools, an innovative new line of sockets, wrenches and ratchets designed to provide access in confined spaces and rounded bolt removal for common automotive and maintenance tasks.
Backed by CRAFTSMAN’s full lifetime warranty, OVERDRIVE™ mechanics tools offer a sleek corrosion resistant gunmetal chrome finish, easy-to-read markings and enhanced geometry needed for a variety of tasks. Standout items in the new OVERDRIVE™ line include the 121-piece mechanics tools set (CMMT99121L) and the 11-piece wrench set, offered in both SAE (CMMT87711) and metric (CMMT87811).
“At CRAFTSMAN we take pride in developing innovative mechanics tools that everyone from homeowners to automotive enthusiasts reach for every day,” said Matthew McGarry, Director of Product Management, Stanley Black & Decker. “Our new line of OVERDRIVE™ mechanics tools continue that tradition and come packed with enhancements on ratchets, sockets, and wrenches designed to address a variety of challenges, from rusted and rounded bolt removal to turning fasteners in tight spaces.”
Featuring a 180-tooth count dual-pawl mechanism and 2.0-degree arc swing, CRAFTSMAN OVERDRIVE™ ratchets provide 2.5X better access* for confined turns and hard to reach fasteners. Additionally, new OVERDRIVE™ sockets and box end wrenches feature Tight Torque Technology™, designed to remove fasteners rounded up to 70% and to help prevent rounding.
CRAFTSMAN OVERDRIVE™ mechanics tools will be available this fall in stores and online where CRAFTSMAN products are sold.
