If I can throw in my 2 pennies... Whenever I only need 1-2 sockets I typically go to an auto parts store (Kragen, Napa, etc.). They normally sell HIGH quality individual sockets for good prices and they're almost always 6-point sockets. I stopped buying from Sears as
A) I've broken (I'm not kidding) almost every single Craftsman socket I've ever owned.
B) I don't want to go to Sears every time I break A socket
C) A lot of times they only offer 12-point sockets.
D) Craftsman tools tend to be overpriced IMO
E) Believe it or not damn near everyone will warranty a socket. Go ahead and (if you can) break a socket you bought from Napa and bring it back. They'll without receipt and/or hassle just give you a brand shiny new one like Sears does.
Again some people are diehard Craftsman fans, and I tried to be, but Craftsman stopped making decent products decades ago and I refuse to shop there anymore.
