Just trying to see if anyone ever really needed 3/4 drive sockets

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.

My 3/4 socket set is a combination set 3/4" - 2 " and 19 mm - 50mm Minimax .
It's left over from my days as a Power Station Mechanic , I do use it to
loosen ,crankshaft timing pulley bolts and the drive sprocket retaining
nut on my 1200 Suzuki motorcycle .
Also handy for my towbar ball hitch nut.
The breaker bar is bent though , I used a five foot pipe on it to crack
the hold down bolts on a gas turbine one time.
