We've picked up some HF impact sockets and used them with good
success. Maybe our Craftsman impact tool is too wimpy to stress
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.

Usually also pricey, but some of the old autoparts stores (not the chains)
used to stock individual tools. Usually a top name brand. Also, some of
the old school independent hardware stores or franchise / membership stores
like Ace or True Value or Joe's Hardware. Individual tools have always cost
a more than sets.
