I agree that impact sockets aren't that expensive, my last couple of sets are Grey Pneumatic, good sockets at a great price. But in a pinch it's not that big of a deal to use chrome, however never use any hand/chrome universal joint/sockets on an impact, they can come apart and fling pieces. I carry a IR2115 in my trail kit, the only impact stuff that I carry is a couple of extensions, u-joint and a 21mm 6pt deep for lugs, the rest of the sockets are chrome. The chrome stuff is much less likely to rust and the thinner walls fit more places.
I replaced a 1/2 IR anvil this morning that has chrome wear, the one on the right has normal wear, the one on the left has seen a bunch of chrome use.
it doesn't look that bad. Was is high time to replace it?
