Well, I Did It

[metaldad]

Cracked a craftsman 5/16 6 pt. USA deep socket, driving in a tapcon. I usually use a 5/16 nut driver, I like to 'feel' the set of a tapcon. My hands are sore, I grabbed the first socket I could reach. yep, shoulda used a standard size, oh well.
Not a bash on craftsman, just that, I really did not use a whole lotta force.
Guess this will go into the scrap bucket, due to the non existence of domestic craftys.

Last time I looked, singles were still USA.

The open stock is still USA made....bring it in and warranty it for a new one....

... or you could replace a nice silver one with a brown one.

got a new dual marked USA one, last one in the rack. exchange was painless, as always.

Why would you even consider scrapping it vs a painless return.

I've broken Snap on sockets.. many. Including half inch drive 19mm. Twice.

or maybe it was 17mm? idr, any socket can break .

Oil that new dual marked socket. It'll rust inside and out. I bought 15/16 and 1" 3/8 drive for socket try filling. Never used, look like they've been left in the rain for a week.
