I was looking for some sockets for my old 3/4 ratchet and saw this on Amazon. Seems like a good deal so I bought it. Just break out another $50 I tell myself. I guess this isn’t the link but is the item. HD sells the same thing as Husky for $109 but no more metric sets. This metric set sells for $120 on eBay. The ratchet is included.

It appears to be $50 on Amazon...and that is a screaming deal. If I'm reading your post right, you bought it on Amazon, didn't you?

The fractional size 14 piece set is $150, seller may have left out a digit in the selling price.
I'm in for one.

I need a 3/4 SAE set. I’m getting ready to put shocks on my dads Freightliner. I have a large 3/4 ratchet and 3 sockets none of them are the size I need which is 1 1/8 and 1 1/16. I have the 1/2 inch ones in those sizes but all the heavy duty guys said use 3/4 drive or an impact and I don’t have access to air there so I’ll have to get the 3/4 drive. I’ll probably just buy them individually though at either Lowe’s or Northern Tool.

You do not need 3/4 for most truck stuff. My I.R. 231 will do most any job on one.

Yeah I have a 1/2 inch impact but no access to air there where it’s parked. I don’t have an electric 1/2 or I’d use that instead. The biggest 1/2 ratchet I have is 18 inches.
Does it run? You can make up an adapter to use the air from the air brake system.

Do you need a 3/4” set, or a set of 3/4” impacts? Different propositions.
My 3/4” set goes from 7/8” to 2”. Great set of hand sockets The ratchet is ridiculous- about five lbs of steel. Close to 18” long. Gigantic. It dwarfs the 1/2” torque wrench in the drawer with it. 1/2” sockets on the right, 3/4” on the left.
It was not cheap.

Probably just regular but I do like the impacts in case I would ever need them. Is that your Williams ones?
Yeah, that’s my Williams set. I actually bought the sockets and 3/4” drive separately, because it was cheaper. I didn’t need the metal box that came with the kit.
It was close to $350 for both, new, from tools delivered. The Packard has some large bolts a few close to 1 3/4 but to be quite honest, this set was an indulgence.
I haven’t used them in the year I’ve owned them. They just look pretty in the drawer!

I ordered the set posted,( its showing shipped) i will probably buy a seperate set of SAE sockets since i will have the ratchet and breaker bar.
That ratchet looks beefy, really sweet!
I really did not need a 3/4 set but for $50 why not lol.
a 1” is still nice to have
I'm still wondering if this is a price error, as the SAE set is $213.0

It came UPS second day air. Really nice set, can't expect it to have every mm step in sockets. Amozon has so much money they don't care about every dollar I guess. It weighs about as much and the case is the size of a floor jack. Apex tools makes it in Taiwan.
