12mm 12 point 1/2inch drive socket

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get a hardened version instead of the only one I can find is at Sears and it's not hardened and usually doesn't last but taken them off one time for four bolts on and off and then the socket is stripped out.

Sears also sells impact sockets. Other places to get them are MAC, Matco, or snap-on. Autozone, pepboys and advance usually have some in-expensive impact sockets as well, but you'd be better off with one of the first 4.

You might also be able to find them at lowes or home depot.

Let me guess drive shaft bolts I use the craftsman Crome I have never striped them out using it... Make sure u torque them back with some thread locker... James

If ur having a hard time Breaking them loose put the extension on the socket and place socket on bolt and give a few swings with a hammer then use a 24 inch breaker bar... Works everytime and it helps if u put the car in gear...

I use the Craftsman 12 mm 12 points and they don't last to long.
I ordered two online from Sears and lets see how long they last lol .
Thanks again!
