Here's one I've been using for a long time, but haven't had to use for a long time. If you find your self needing to use an impact on a cheap o socket for some reason...... Wrap electric tape around the socket from top to bottom on the sides of the socket. That way if the socket cracks or shatters, the shards and mess is contained instead of getting you torn up. I used to have to do this a lot on odd heavy duty stuff.
