Does it matter if it is a Stanley tool or Kobalt tool?

Any group purchases on Husky tools?

ALWAYS hammer on a smaller socket for a tighter fit so you have less chances of rounding it off....this is coming from experience.

do those actually work???

I always thought of them as some cheap "info-mercial" type stuff. I may pick one up if they are of decent quality.

How much torque can be applied to them?
