Do they still do that? I've never had an SK socket break on me, but I have twisted the ends off several extensions and adapters with them. They are the black (impact) type. -- DougW |

Then a counter person told me that I would have to take a broken socket back to the store where I had bought it, six states away. The shiny ones were famous for shattering, but they didn't round off bolt heads. I still have an SK metal socket organizer, full of mostly Craftsman sockets! The wrenches were tough, but too big for most uses. Earle |
