Socket
Would RecommendReplaced used one
Replacing a socket that I had to weld a 3/4 impact adapter to to get crankshaft pulley off Honda CVR
Took A Beating. You Couldn't Tell At All
Would RecommendI had some low height bolts on chipper blades that wouldn't come off as they had been sealed with red lock compound. I'd tried a 12-sided socket but it wouldn't do the job. I got two of these in case one started getting rounded, but after removing 10 bolts with it (and yes, I pre-heated the bolts because of the red lock compound) it didn't show any wear at all. It's a high quality impact socket and it was what I needed to get the job done.

Used it to get old garbage disposal turning again.
Would RecommendI used this socket to get a 30 year old garbage disposal turning again. The nut on the turning part of the disposal was too worn to catch is any more with the 12-point 1" socket I have used before. This 6-point 24mm fit on the worn nut securely, and I got the disposal turning again. And now I have added a 24mm socket to my tool set!

Deep Impact
Would RecommendStrong deep impact socket that does not scratch and dent. No rust.
Solid construction
Would RecommendWas exactly what I needed. I like the harder construction of the impact versions
True quality.
Would RecommendThe quality is there as others began to round off the bolt heads.
Availability, quality, fair price.
Would RecommendNeeded a special size to remove swollen lug nuts. Lowes is the only local place that carried the 20mm. It was a life-saver.
Individual sockets for sale at a reasonable price.
Would RecommendGood quality at a very reasonable price. Nice that I didn’t have to purchase a whole set of impact sockets. I have now completed my metric set.
