Snap On vs. Husky sockets

However the are several good second choices for the professional, such as Matco and Proto, for example. These manufacturers make specialty tools where Craftsman and (ugh) Husky do not. And as far as Husky tools go, I would not waste my money on them. They are absolute junk. There is a reason Snap-on tools (generally) cost ten times what a Husky tool does.

1/2 inch drive power-bar I would by only from SO. In many situations used 2m long steel pipe on it while working on excavator tracks without any sign of damage whatsoever. It's simply unbreakable.

I'm sure the OP would have been interested in your critique when he asked the question... 2-1/2 years ago.

I've seen the forked end of a SO "johnson bar" snapped off. as well as the pins broken - so they are not QUITE unbreakable.
