Home Depot quit selling the Husky labeled version.
Yes HF has a cheaper price per socket. I initially bought those but later opted to get the more complete sets from Astro as they had quite reasonable prices.

But that didn't solve the loose flex head. The problem is with the compression spring. I emailed Astro, and they said they don't sell replacement springs, but offered to replacement my wrench per warranty.
I may do that, but I haven't given up yet. I created two or three small paper washers out of card stock and placed them behind the compression spring, then reassembled the wrench. (Got the idea from YouTube.) The flex head is much stiffer! It's not an ideal solution, but it will do until I experiment with new compression springs (about 8mm OD). But if I can't find a more permanent fix, I will warranty the wrench and hope for the best.
