How often do you use these big metric sockets

Kubota Tractors. The 22mm and 24mm are very common on the loader frame bolts. Some of the mowers take a 30mm for the spindle nut to remove the blades. I used a 17, 19, 22 and 24mm 1/2 impact swivel so much that I wore the black coating off.

Fascinating old thread. I was just in the process of replacing my set to go to entirely 6 pt sockets in a range of sizes. I am primarily using them for auto repair applications. I noted that certain sizes 20,23, 25, 26 , 28 were not covered. My sockets are mostly Craftsman for regular sockets and HF Pittsburgh Pro for impact sockets. Just find it curious when I hear of someone needing those sizes and see it is for some obscure application.

Lets not forget how useful sockets are for pressing bearings or as spacers on a puller etc. It seems every time I'll find myself going back to get the next size up so it fits perfectly.
