Default Do you use 3/4 inch drive sockets for light home use purposes

Just trying to see if anyone ever really needed 3/4 drive sockets
(impact and not), for light home use. Nothing bigger than a pickup or a
15 HP compressor or a small CNC mill like Bridgeport Series II type
stuff.

My feeling is that these sockets are only for serious equipment like
excavators and bulldozers. Am I mistaken?

The reason for my question is kind of obvious.

Iggy, like others, I have used my set removing large spindle nuts from
various pickup trucks. BUT the large sockets are extremely handy for
pushing or driving bearing races and other sundry parts. Without them I
would have to fire up the lathe and make tooling.
