1/2\" Socket Wrench Set Starter Kit
Looking to get a 1/2" drive socket set for my Kubota L4630, Bushhog, box blade & tiller - plus car, truck & trailer maintenance. It'll be a mix of metric & inch sizes; expect up to 1-1/4" max. I got along with 3/8" drive when it was only cars... I want to start out with a good basic setup, probably Craftsman or equal; about $100 max for new stuff. Will add extra sockets etc. later as needed. My questions:
- 6 point or 12 point? I'm leaning toward 6 point for strength, but realize 12 point may be better in tight spaces.
- Standard depth or Deep sockets most useful?
- Useful accessories to start with?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences.
