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.

I wouldn't blow money on 3/4" stuff unless your really sure you'll need
it, and then only get what you need.

I strongly suspect that this is not a question of whether to
blow money on a set, but rather whether to sell a set which came as part
of one of his auction purchases.

I, personally, would keep the set. It would save me from the
occasional emergency trip to the auto parts place to spend a lot of
money on a single socket of just the right size. :-)

It is not really a set, it is a big pile of sockets. They are all
good, just do not make a set. I could probably make a big "set" by
size and then make a small "set" for myself, say from 1.5" to 2".
