Does anybody know what happened to ProTec tools....the guys that make the fiberglass lined sockets so they don't scratch finished bolts? Did Snap-On Tools buy them?

isn't there another outfit that makes the socket lined with a rubber like material... intended for the same purpose of protecting the finished bolts?

Yes. They are called "nomar". They work pretty good.
