Hey everyone! I came across this Milwaukee 3/8 drive socket set deal at Home Depot and I'm thinking about taking the plunge. I haven't been tracking socket deals, but this one caught my eye. Is anyone familiar with this set? Would you say it's a good buy? Here's the link for reference: [Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Socket Set](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-SHOCKWAVE-Impact-Duty-3-8-in-Drive-Metric-and-SAE-Deep-Well-Impact-PACKOUT-Socket-Set-36-Piece-49-66-6805/320204286)

The Milwaukee set is solid if you're aiming for larger socket sizes. Finding those in 3/8 can be tough, and you might end up paying more for individual pieces elsewhere. So if you need those larger sizes, this deal could save you money in the long run.
Right, if you're working on cars, having good sizes available is key. Just make sure it fits your specific needs!
If you're set on buying sockets now, just go for a Husky set or hit up Harbor Freight. They're offering a Quinn set with both SAE and metric sizes for under $60! That being said, if you really need Milwaukee for a specific reason, their bold lettering is a nice touch, but the value might not be outstanding.
Totally agree—I have the Husky set too, and for general use, it covers all my needs without breaking the bank!
Honestly, I’d suggest checking out Harbor Freight too—they're running a 40% off deal on sockets this week. You could find a better price there, especially if you're looking for something specific.
Exactly! I noticed the same thing when I was looking for a good set. The larger sizes can get pricey!
