What are the essential impact sockets needed?

I recently picked up an impact wrench and want to know which sockets I should get for my Tacoma tool box.

 

I have not used any on mine yet except for the lug nuts

I have been using a snap on 10-25 mm deep impact set for past 30 years and only twice have I needed a larger ones with all the various things I have worked on and they required my 1in impact drive to loosen or a long pipe

I'd say the most common I use are 14, 17, 19, and 21 for my wheels. The rest are generally small enough to just do by hand. The 14mm fits over the stock jack extension, allowing you to raise the jack with an impact instead of by hand. It saves a lot of time.

 

Here you go. Thank me later

 

I have too many socket sets of various price points but the set I reach for more often than not are my 1/2" Harbor Freight Deep impact sockets when things actually require some impact attention. Do a little bit of Google-fu and you will see which ones to get as there are several versions and some are definitely better than others. When I bought them the thought was: "if they break they break" but they haven't let me down yet. They have more than earned a positive review for me especially for the price when you factor in discounts/coupons from HF.

 

begin at 10mm and go up

 

Harbor freight 9mm thru 24mm set its like 25 bucks good place to start. Only nut it didn't fit was CV axel nut when u r their pick up a 35 mm and u will have it covered

 

Yep, a few 13 and 16 too, mostly 10, 12, 14 ,17 ,19, 22.

 

There seems to be an awful lot of 10mm bolts on my truck. Probably no good for an impact, just in general.
