does anybody use these reguarly?in my job i rebuild alot of la-z-boy recliners.lzb uses torx fastners t-25 & t30s to assemble their chairs.normally this isnt a problem.but here latley on one of their cable operated mechanisms they have stopped sending prebuilt and we have to assemble using some of the old parts .that have been assembled using air tools. i've been buying craftsman 1/4 inch drive torx sockets and using them with a 1/4ratchet, have done this for years with no problems.problem is i've been snapping them on these mechs.sears are standing behind them but its a pain to have to take em back. any body know of any that are tougher.....dave

Snap-On???? Sears is using the lowest bidder criteria now for most of their stuff & the lack of quality is showing.

Try Allen brand. They don't chrome plate them, they seem to be much stronger than most others I've used. They're also very cheap, around $3-$4 apeice. I get mine from Menards, Farm & Fleet carries them, too.
