Hey Ed, when you get that 6pt 13mm Craftsman socket, be sure to get one that fits your socket wrench directly without needing to use a step-down adapter. I have a 51-piece Craftsman tool set I keep in my 9-3, but the socket wrench is a 3/8" drive and the 13mm 6pt socket in there needs to use the 1/4" adapter. Bad move when trying to loosen a really tight oil drain plug. The tip of the adapter snapped off in the socket. Due to the lifetime guarantee, Sears replaced the socket and the adapter, but I will soon be getting a 13mm socket that fits the 3/8" socket wrench directly.
