I had that very same thing happen with a torque converter drain plug. It was a great stroke of luck that I noticed the empty socket before I tried to start the engine. Otherwise, I would probably have been buying a new torque converter.

That would depend on the exact design of your allen socket. Some Craftsman sockets retain the bit with a snap ring; others are "permanently" swaged in.
