Default using reg. socket with impact wrench

How long will my kragen 19mm socket last if I use it with a 600+ lbs impact? I just need it to loosing my crank so i'm trying to save money by not buying 19mm impact socket.

It'll probably live. I've used lots of different chromed sockets with impact guns. They do start to notch a little after a while. Hell, if they break, you can probably take them back under warranty anyways. No big deal, right?

it will live but beware...they do break a lot quicker. just go buy a craftsman or others like them that will replace broken ones for free if it breaks, it saves you money in the long run.

With craftsman you dont even need a receipt, just go to the store and replace it thats it. But be careful using them w/ an impact gun, cuz they can shatter too thats why they make the black ones for them
