Got a set of SAE 6 point USA-stamped sockets recently. Used the 11/16 the other day changing a bearing on a hopper trap. Wouldn't you know, that socket got stuck on the nut? Had to switch the ratchet and bump it backwards, then wiggle it to get it off the nut. No, it didn't stick when I test-fit it. It only stuck after applying torque.
Yes, the nut has some surface rust, but really? And yes, it was an SAE 7/16 nut/bolt, used my 5/8 MAC swivel-socket combination wrench on the other end. 12 point, probably 20+ years old, and IT DIDN'T STICK!!!!
