No problem using the Empi one if you are the occasional tool junkie. Personally, I've broken a number of those sockets in my earlier days. On the other hand, in the last four years, I have basically worn out only two of the Snap On sockets (none broken) and that's using them multiple times every week, sometimes a couple of times a day at the dealership. One good point was made there, (anybody reading this) make sure you tap the socket into the socket head bolt before you attempt to loosen the bolt. There's stuff built up in there and if you don't get the socket seated good, you'll strip them out. If that happens, I usually break out the air chisel, cut a groove in the outer edge of the bolt head, then run the bolt counter clockwise by using the air hammer at an angle.
The old saying....... "you get what you pay for"
My personal favorite tools, Hazet, Snap-On, Stahlwille. In that order.
