Is it more durable than the older 3/8. I bought the older version on Saturday and it broke today after 4 days of use!!

I own them both, I bough this one thinking there would be a big difference in power but it's not much, the old one I have is still working and son is the new one, I use them pretty often but only for lite stuff because they are both weak in comparison to their pneumatic predecessors

Do I need to use impact sockets with this or can I use regular sockets?

Using chrome or regular sockets is just fine. A ratchet whether it's hand, pneumatic, or electric steadily and consistently applies torque through the socket. An impact gun or driver on the other hand has an anvil and a hammering mechanism. It's the hammering action of an impact that delivers a lot of shock to the socket and with chrome/regular sockets being more hard/brittle than imapct sockets is why it's recommended to use accordingly.

I can keep it from spinning with two fingers and I am not a super strong. Is that normal? I guess it is just for spinning a lose nuts and bolts.

It's easy to hold when using although obviously much larger than a normal ratchet . It's got a good amount of torque but I usually use it manually to break the bolt loose first and then use the electric action to spin it off. It's a really great tool
