Description of ๐ง Industrial Power & Hand Tools: TEKTON 2 Inch Impact Socket with 12 Point Design
High-torque, 12-point socket design grips the flat sides of fasteners, not just the corners, preventing round-off. Extra-deep broach accommodates longer fasteners. High-contrast permanent laser etched size markings are easy-to-read, even in low light. Made from forged and heat treated chrome vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant black phosphate finish. Meets or exceeds ANSI performance standards.

The frames I bought new also rust very quickly, and rust is of course particularly affected by etched or stamped size marks. I haven't had baits long enough to comment on their durability. However, in the short time I've had them, noneโฆ
