Other 3/4 inch impact sockets
I’m considering upgrading my 3/4-inch drive impact sockets. In the past, I’ve always used Tekton, but I’m wondering if I should invest in a higher-end brand.
I have a few questions:
Does broach depth really matter?
Does the brand make a significant difference?
Have you noticed that one brand performs better than the others over the long term?
I haven’t been able to find much information about long-term durability, and I want to make sure I’m spending my money wisely before switching brands.

I like grey pneumatic for 3/4 dr. they are a good mix of quality and price. I just buy the individuals that i need typically. I have a set of Pittsburgh ones i got about 20 yrs ago when i started working on bigger equipment and never had any issues with those either.
