It says it on the wrapper when you buy it. A friend of mine needed a 15mm thinwall deep socket to dismantle a VW transaxle once. He bought one at Sears, and found it STILL wasn't thin-wall enough, so he took it to the bench grinder and MADE it thin. It then lasted just long enough to finish the job and died. He took it back and exchanged it -- no questions asked. Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
