SK or Wright

SK is my first thought as well, but I have to ask, you are talking about at least 1/2" drive correct? >19mm I do have a few 3/8" sockets (mostly picked up as odd lots) and I probably will use them about never.

I am a big fan of SK they have been serving me well for over 20 years.

I am a fan of the house flavors at auto parts stores if need be. They are convenient, buy one or 2 as needed, Menards too.

If you want to stick with craftsman they do make larger size add on sets for the wrenches and sockets . just check the craftsman website

Have you seen the new thinner S-K impact sockets with the "flank drive" type 12 point openings. I REALLY like those.

Larger sizes I just buy them when the need arises or I find a good deal on them. I bought the Craftsman 3/4" drive metric set because Sears was practically giving them away a year or so ago.

I can't recall using anything larger than a 1-1/8 (weight distributing hitch and pinion nut) or 21mm on anything but axle nuts. I have larger sockets in both SAE and metric, but I use most of them to drive seals or bearings.

You make a good point... I actually just used a 1-1/4" the other day on a *rear* axle (old Dana 44 tapered axle) but I'm trying to think of an application where you'd need a socket that big and an impact wouldn't work. So, it would make sense to buy those larger sizes in impacts...

Probably shouldn't have sold my PI torque wrench either... it was just longer enough than my Snappy that 170 ft-lbs didn't feel quite so much like real work.

So far, you have 10 reasonable suggestions... I'll toss another one towards ya::
pick up two larger sets of deepwell impact sockets. Your basics will be covered...

It is nice to have deepwells...
