My point is, I don't care if they'd come out & polish them
weekly for me, I still have no use for a tool that's more likely to
fail. I've had craftsman sockets split up the sides, using hand pressure.
Not good.

i notice that lately sears tools seem to do that.... compared to the
older sears(craftsman tools i bought 35 yrs. ago, the quality does not
seem to be in the newer craftsman tools... the sides of the sockets seem
thinner, and not finished as smooth as the older stuff)???????
