I actually snapped a Tawanese 15/16, 1/2" drive socket last Thursday.
Id had it for years. Putting the breaker bar and then sliding the 6
foot snipe on it and then bouncing, while hanging from it with my feet
18" off the floor finally discovered its breaking point. Shrug

It's a good thing you didn't abuse it. =:-0 BTW, why weren't you
using a pneumatic impact (aka: zip) gun, either 1/2" or 3/4", hmmm?


So I grabbed one of my Craftsman sockets out of the other tool box and
broke the bolt free, while doing the same thing. Though..come to
think on it..the busted one was a 12 point, while the Craftsman was a
6 point.

They've always apparently been made of tougher steel.

Why didnt I use an impact drive? I didnt have one with me. Shrug

Lots of times Im working in places that either dont have air close by,
or its a one off that 30 minutes of dragging out air lines, adapters
and whatnot, just to bust one nut/bolt isnt time/cost effective.
