Normally I would agree with you, but the Craftsman wrenches I have bought in the last few years frequently "stretch" when trying to loosen a tight bolt, whereas the older, thicker Craftsman wrenches I have don't. Thin wall sockets are much more handy, and if obtained from as reliable company, are usually stronger than thick walled cheapo sockets.

Take care
