Brands are coming out with new designs for universal impact sockets lately, so we take a look at a few of them and most of the brands our viewers have pointed out to us as one's we shouldn't miss. Fewer models died in this round of 3/8" testing than in the past, but a familiar name once again takes the title as the only one to break in half from testing at the end of the day.
