Sockets intended for hand tools are made with hardened metals. They
are too brittle and pose considerable risk of shattering if used on an
impact wrench. Sockets intended for impact wrenches are made with a
softer metal that instead of shattering will deform and then spring
back to its original shape (this property is "elasticity").
