Update: My impact socket split right down the middle on a stubborn axle nut yesterday.

I was using a 24mm deep well on a 2015 Silverado in the shop and it just gave out, so now I'm looking for a brand that can really take the heat.

Used to swear by cheaper sockets until one exploded on a ball joint. The flying metal chunk put a dent in my toolbox. Switched to Snap-on after that, they cost more but haven't had one fail yet.

Guess I should be glad my tools only break on cars and not people. My old impact socket set is basically a collection of future shrapnel.
