CRAFTSMAN Torque Screwdriver Set, 29-Piece

The internal clutch is the standout feature of this CRAFTSMAN torque screwdriver set: it helps prevent over-tightening, while a clear click indicator signals when the selected torque is reached. Its stated range is 8–40 in-lbs., with 0.2-in incremental adjustments and certified torque accuracy of +/- 6%. That gives you more control than a basic screwdriver-and-bit setup when a job calls for a specified torque. The 29-piece set also stores in a VersaStack case, so the bits and driver have a designated place between tasks.

How to use it

Choose a torque setting within the stated range, fit the bit that matches the fastener, and stop when the clutch signals the set point. For example, if you’re working on a small assembly with a specified torque, the click indicator gives you a clear stopping cue instead of relying only on feel. The included 1-inch bits cover Phillips, slotted, hex, Torx, and square fasteners, making the kit useful across several drive styles. What matters most is whether the job’s required torque falls within this tool’s range, if it doesn’t, the extra bits won’t solve that mismatch.

You’ll appreciate it if you regularly handle controlled fastening tasks and want a driver, multiple bit types, and storage together. A basic bit driver may suit occasional fastening where torque control isn’t part of the requirement, while this set is aimed at work where a torque value matters. Better avoided if your work calls for torque outside 8–40 in-lbs., without that measurement, you can’t tell whether the tool’s range is suitable for the fastener.

Pros

• The 8–40 in-lbs. range and 0.2-in increments provide adjustable torque control.
• Certified torque accuracy is listed as +/- 6%, and the internal clutch is designed to prevent over-tightening.
• A clear click indicator provides a signal at the selected setting.
• Phillips, slotted, hex, Torx, and square bits cover several common drive types.
• The VersaStack case keeps the set together for storage and system integration.

One limitation to keep in mind: the listed range is specific, so this isn’t a catch-all choice for every torque-sensitive job. The description also doesn’t provide individual bit sizes, so you’ll need to match the included bits to your fasteners rather than assume a particular size is covered.

Buying verdict

This set makes sense when you need a compact assortment of drive types plus adjustable torque control within its stated range. The clutch and click indicator give it a more deliberate role than a standard bit driver, and the case is useful if you want the pieces stored together. Skip it for work that requires torque beyond 8–40 in-lbs. or a bit size you can’t confirm is included. The deciding factor is the job’s torque requirement, not simply the 29-piece count.
