The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At 22.5 pounds, the CRAFTSMAN CMMT45256 is unmistakably a large, organized socket and wrench collection rather than a single tool. That weight points to a substantial piece count across multiple drives and sizes, all likely housed in a carrying case or tray system, though the exact piece tally is not published in the available listing data.
Priced at $99.00, this set sits at a value price point for its weight class. The 4.7-star rating from 469 verified buyers and 600 units purchased last month confirm that real buyers are choosing it and coming away satisfied. Craftsman's standing in the hand-tool market adds reasonable confidence in materials and finish quality, even without a published material spec.
The trade-off is portability. A 22.5-pound set belongs in a garage or truck-mounted tool chest, not a backpack. Buyers who need a travel-ready kit should look to lighter options. For shop-based work, though, this set covers the weight class where most serious fastener tasks live.

Performance notes
The published spec is weight: 22.5 pounds. For a socket and wrench set, that mass suggests a broad drive-size range and strong piece count, which translates to coverage across common automotive and mechanical fastener sizes. No material or finish spec is listed, but Craftsman sets in this category typically use chrome vanadium alloy sockets with polished or satin chrome finishes.
What buyers say
Owners rate the CMMT45256 at 4.7 stars from 469 reviews, a level that indicates a high satisfaction rate with few significant complaints. Monthly sales of 600 units support the view that buyers are actively choosing this set and finding it meets their expectations. The moderate review volume limits deep pattern analysis but points to a reliable product.
How many pieces does the CRAFTSMAN CMMT45256 include?
The exact piece count is not listed in the available product data. The 22.5-pound weight strongly suggests a multi-drive, multi-size set. Confirm the piece count with the retailer before purchasing to ensure it covers your needed sizes.
Is this set worth $99 compared to cheaper socket sets?
Based on 469 reviews at 4.7 stars and 600 monthly purchases, the CMMT45256 appears to deliver clear value at $99. The weight class places it well above budget mini-sets, and Craftsman's brand quality history supports the price point for a shop-grade collection.
