Any make will do the job, the better quality sockets tend to be thinner walled than the cheaper versions.

I was after sizes rather than make apart from the hub nuts one. Any special sizes not in normal type sizes? Welsh Collie Chauffeur Service To Barney & Rooney.

24mm 3/4 drive for the suspension arms is handy to have

I have a 3/8” snap on 18v impact gun. Variable torque controlled by your finger.
Other than the usual 10,11,13,15,17, go for 18,19,21,23,24
I also use 8mm for the egr bolts, not to use loads of power, but the vibration really helps get them out. No good if you’re using 1/2” as it will snap the bolt. Bodsys Brake Bible
