I will check, but think I got full credit but wont reorder and will buy the missing T-25 when I get a chance. So I think I got a bargain in any event.


This is the lifetime guarantee set and looks well made.
Make sure any set you buy includes a T-27. All the button heads on derby covers and such (1/4-20) take a T-27. If you use a T-25 on these, you will strip the fastener head and then come back here and complain about "cheap Harley fasteners". I mention this because the T-27 isn't a common size, and not all sets include them.

100% agree on this one. The Craftsman set the OP is asking about has the T-27. The small Craftsman set (the one with 6 or 7 bits) does not.

Any time I am about to use the T-25, I check the fit with the T-27. They are very close. On the Harley, I think the majority are actually T-27.

Yep, this set did not have the T-27 but I bought one separately, and plan to buy the missing T-25 separately. Now I have 2 T-15s but with the credit the set was free!
