I’ve been a wrench turning shop guy for over a decade, so here’s my perspective. When placing your hand to the picking a socket wrench, grab a drive size first. You’ll be using your 3/8” every day. 1/4” for tight places. 1/2” for lug nuts. I’ve gotten decent sets off alibaba and amazon, just make sure they are stamped CR-V or CR-MO steel. My best combo trick is putting a flex-head ratchet on a universal joint and pairing it with a deep socket so you can save yourself when a bolt is hiding behind a bracket. Put a stubby socket and an extension on same rail, switching fast is better than digging through drawers. Now what what wory my brain o er with wisdom: what’s your favorite socket organization hack or under-rated seldom used brand I must try?
