After owning this set and using it for almost several years, I had a couple of times when I really needed that deep socket - I wanted changing the kitchen faucet and in between the installation and now things got really tight - with meat grinder, kettle and dishwasher hoses and I could barely reach and the screw was too long for a normal socket to attach to the nut and i was about to get the waste chute and remove the water heater for more range but I remembered that old set and BOY that's a HUGE time saver - I LOVE IT! Since then I've been using it more and more as it's actually so much better than my regular set - I just love my regular set because it comes with a handle and various attachments, but these sockets are so much better!
