been looking at socket sets and snap-on is way to expensive for me $2k for shallow mm and sae impacts. sunnex dont list prices but i no there other tools are pretty decent for price and c-man is decent on price to. i didnt read it or i missed it but is shallow and deep needed or one or the other? been reading alot of sae when it gets past say 24mm, so a 3/4 mm set not really needed??
also i read i should get my 1/2 up to 32mm. i have up to 27mm, do i need 28-32 in a full series or can i skip some that arnt used at all, since 30+ per socket adds up fast for deep and shallow.
sorry for so many questions, regarding angled wrenches is both mm and sae needed or one over the other? also sizes needed?
we have a set of CM chrome, shallow, 12pt sockets at the shop, they seem to be holding up to the abuse.
i normally grab a deep socket, when i need a socket, in 1/2" dr it's usally an impact, i have select sizes in chrome 12 pt
from my experience, used angle head wrenches are hard to come by, especially anything larger than 3/4".
ive only ever needed 2 metric angle heads, 12mm & 17mm, both for fuel injection lines.
i'd suggest you get your angle heads as needed, buying a full set may be a huge waste of cash, if all you use is a couple sizes.
trying to buy every tool you think you'll ever need all at once will empty your wallet quick, and you may
need other tools that you cant afford.
i've been buying my tools since '76, and have been a paid wrench since '84, and still run across things that make a job go easier and faster....
