I hope it's moly for that price..
Yeah it matters. Ones a deal and the other isn't.

If we're just quoting tool companies

"Chromium-MolybdenumCr-Mo
Cr-Mo: Chromium-Molybdenum alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly or cro-moly, has superior impact resistance than Cr-V, a property that makes it an ideal material for impact sockets, high torque screwdrivers, rachet head components, breaker bar heads and more. The addition of molybdenum gives this alloy the ability to absorb percussive impact better than Cr-V; it also outperforms Cr-V in strength and toughness, but it is more expensive, which is why is reserved for impact rated and high-end tools."
And it's true, cr-mo is much less brittle. also focus on cr-mo being more expensive. the difference in an OK deal vs a slickdeal.

Are there known problems with these sockets or is this just much ado about nothing?

VIM makes a lot of matco stuff so I'd say it's a reputable account. It's not just a generic brand. Matco's impact sockets are also largely sunex cr-mo.
It's not a potentially small difference, it is a difference. And there is a price-point reflection based on that difference. To fully evaluate the deal you need to know the material is, not just the brand name. You said these are high quality, is that personal experience or just Milwaukee fan-stanning?

Check out this video to see how they've worked and held up in a repair shop after a couple years of use: https://youtu.be/MJ18e0VIxAE?t=2

So you don't own them, you can't answer my question, and you're just a Milwaukee fanboy. Completely unhelpful.
I want to know what I'm buying, and if I want cr-mo in my shop that's what I want so it matters to me. You can keep posting your confirmation bias all day long. It's clear you're just here to stan regardless of what you say about your tool collection.
He doesn't assert that these bits "are bad" but he does claim that when Cr-Mo is a more expensive alloy. And this is alluded to in the paragraph that followed the paragraph you quoted from tekton [tekton.com]:

And this would certainly affect its market value, which is part of the core requirements to determine if a "deal" is "slick", the whole premise of this website.
Every site I've seen that carries these sockets shows overwhelmingly positive reviews. Every video I've seen shows that people really like them. Thus I believe that these are high quality sockets. Can you point me to anything to the contrary other than it doesn't say "Cr-Mo" (even though they likely either are or a very similar alloy)?
