tool question

Is there a down side to using impact sockets with hand tools instead of an impact wrench?

Re: tool question (david90)

nope just the other way around, using regular sockets on an impact gun could mess up the sockets. Impact sockets are harder. I use impact sockets all the time no matter what rachet/tool they are attached to

I use regular (craftsman) sockets all the time and haven't had any problems...

Re: (Cyphear)

The only disadvatage of impact sockets with hand ratchets is that they are made of thicker stronder metal and will sometimes have a problem in tight fits.
