IME, everything from Griots is overpriced and available somewhere else much cheaper. I've used the sockets I have with an impact gun and they did just fine so I'm sure they're ok. You shouldn't be using enough torque on a wheel lug to break an impact socket anyway. If you are, they were either overtightened the last time they were put on or cross-threaded really bad.
