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

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.

I bought my set so I could take the blades off my big rotary mower for
sharpening. Then I discovered how handy they were for removing the big
ball from the pickup trailer hitch. Then discovered they worked great
on the tractor rear wheel lug nuts.

So, about once a year I need to use something from the set.
