The best value to be had with socket sets is from a company called Great Neck (I think I bought mine at Advance Auto). Here’s a link that tells you where their products are sold: http://greatnecksaw.com/productinfo/where/index.html

Get the Impact Driver sockets. I bought a standard-depth set (14mm – 24mm) and a deep-well set (12mm - 19mm). They were $16.99 per set. The nice thing about them is that they are 6 point – great for heavy wrenching. They are very strong – strong enough that my Craftsman breaker bar gave out and the socket still held.

Great Neck is certainly NOT a very high-quality tool manufacturer. But in this case, they are more than adequate, and an excellent value.
