We've picked up some HF impact sockets and used them with good

them, but we've yet to break one.

But we have lost one or two, grrr..

I wonder where folks have gone to buy single sockets. Sears is
rather $$ and HD does not seem to have anything but sets, like
HF.


Used tool places have buckets of them, usually pretty reasonably priced.

Actually found some OK Stanley impact socket sets at Wally Mart, definitely
better than HF and cheap enough not to worry about buying the sleeve. Some
of the crummy Taiwanese ones I've bought in the past got sloppy and the slop
actually wasted most of the impact energy.
