It seems the warranty will return the 2 bucks:

home depot is 2 miles away. they have husky. which broke. autozone is 7 miles. they have duralast? ace is 1 mile away. but they are the most expensive due to limited stock.
Husky used to be a medium priced tool line made in New Britain Connecticut but they went Chinese quite a while before Craftsman. I still have a red metal 3/8 drive shallow and deep Husky set from the 50s. I actually pulled the heads from an early Dodge 318 with it. The next thing I bought was a Craftsman 1/2 in set.
Itâs amazing to look at craigslist and ebay listings. There are lot of craftsman usa-made power tools for sale. From the pictures, they seem to have been very well made, also. So sad to see how far theyâve fallen 
hey, grass use to be greener and such, but thatâs been like this forever

Torque-to-yield head bolts while donât have a specific torque value seem to be in the 75 to 100 ft/lb range. Removing 10 year old head bolts are a different matter, expect to need to apply 150 ft/lbs of force. A two dollar socket wonât last.
I believe that I must have paid more than $20 for my T55 socket more than 20 years ago, professional tools generally cost more than $20 per socket. The current price for a Snap-on T55 is $32.50. If you can get by with spending less than $10 in tools for your project you are doing well.
