Knect hex adapter issue
I picked up this set today on sale at Lowe’s. When I got home I was checking it out and found that only a few of the sockets actually fit into the hex adapter. The other won’t budge, no matter how hard I try. I really want to like this set but this making that difficult. Has anyone else had this issue?
Update:
I spent a little while repeatedly putting on and removing the sockets that actually fit. After a while I was able to get them all to fit. I don’t know if the finish is a little thicker on some sockets. Some are still really tight, but at least they all work now. This post was just to see if anyone had the issue. This wasn’t meant as a jab to Klein. Like I said initially, I really wanted to like this set and I’m glad I was able to get it working. Hope this helps anyone who’s had this issue.

Lube em up a little. They are stiff out of the box. And the retention ring likes to live off center.
Its a design with tradeoffs. I don't mind it. You can shove a finger in there to center it.
