I think HD has stopped carrying individual Torx bits and hex sockets above a certain size in some stores. I went in there looking for some larger sized ones about a year ago and couldn't find anything but a set of 8. His problem is that the store probably didn't want to split a set to give him his replacement bits.

I ended up having to go to the local NAPA to get the Torx bits (T60 I think) I required.

That is exactly the problem. Since I had 2 T40 sockets needing replacement, they'd have to break open 2 sets.

I still haven't got this issue fixed. Oh, if only Sears would take them like HD used to take all other makes.

I have had to return a broken socket to Lowe's. That was a little painful. They had to return the part and then "sale" me another.

Why do I buy Sears? I buy wrenchs, sockets etc there because when I walk in with a broken Craftsman part the salesman throws it away and says "go get another". I walk back out.

Amen!!!!!!!!! Never a problem returning a busted tool at Sears.
