[Healeys] 100's & Whitworth tools

[Bob]

Yes, that is correct.  However, in the ones I received the plating 
faults were very minor and they certainly are quite usable. 

Agreed, will not replace wrenches in all cases but wrenches will not 
always replace sockets either. 

A different level of quality might be necessary for someone like you 
that makes his living with the tools and those of as Merle Haggard put 
it are, "Shade Tree Mechanics".

Years ago I split a Snap-On socket.  The so called lifetime guarantee 
was useless as they could no longer replace it.   So even a defective $2 
throw away socket might not be a bad deal overall.
