Never heard of them but I found a set of metric impact sockets at the junkyard today and they look pretty stout. Can't beat the price either.

I never heard of 'em either, but I'd take a set for what you paid

Are they Michiganese or Chinese?

I`d hope any impact socket would be stout.I like cheap tools to modify and beat on.My friend calls cheap tools "Snap-Off".

I'd have no problem breaking them for that price, assuming they were close to free.
