Autozone got them in recently too. Playing around with the display and, I'm kinda impressed, but I don't have a strong enough need for them yet.

These have come up before along with the Powerbuilt Low Profile socket sets (and other brands they're sold under). I've almost picked up some sets myself thanks to what I've read about them, but just haven't got around to it.

how about some closeup photos showing the special broaching?

I didnt know how to describe it other than its stepped inside (or has teeth) and it just digs into the rounded off nut and grips tighter the more you put pressure on it.

That's kind of how my Sunex Pit Pro impact sockets are, except the teeth are centered in three of the flats. I didn't buy them for that feature and I'm not sure how well either brand would work on rounded bolts, but know for a fact Irwin bolt outs will get that job done. I have used these impact sockets a few times and they did leave slight marks on otherwise perfect bolts. For that reason I feel it is better to use your normal sockets, whether they're normal 6 point sockets or a flank drive style, and an extractor or bolt out socket for rounded/damaged fasteners.
