Like I said , been a Snap On dealer for 25 years and that is one of the selling points of the socket.Now if you take a Craftsman chisel which is heat treated so that it will mush before breaking [for insurance reasons] all you will do is destroy the head of the nut.A quality chisel will dig in . I understand relieving the pressure as you hit it. Hand held impact drivers have been a around for a long time. Anyway you have your opinion and I have mine, which was PB blaster ,a shot of heat and a quick burp with or without a turbo twist socket.Moving on............

Just heat it with a torch with the flame set low. I have done this to several Audis in the past and it works, EVERY TIME.
