How do you lose a 1-1/2" socket. Thats a big heavy socket.
And last time I was at autozone and walked past the duralast stuff hald the socket already had the chrome peeling off them. Maybe in the past they were decent but from what I can say form what I saw recently not soo much.
Chrome Peeling? I am not familiar with bad fit & finish on their sockets. I just bought a few individual sockets the other day and did not notice any defects in them.
I have probably 12-15 duralast sockets in my sets as fill ins for sets that skipped or I lost, and a set of large SAE 1-1 1/2". I abuse all of my sockets, I use chromes on impacts, hammer them onto stripped bolts (rust belt), use them at the press etc...
With that being said I must be lucky, I haven't warrantied a socket in probably 4 years with everyday use and abuse (duralast, craftsman, cornwell). Some don't look pretty anymore, but I have a toolbox not a jewelry box
