Impact sockets

I am looking what Impact sockets might be worth investing for general D3 maintenance what apart from 52mm for drive nuts would people suggest?

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?

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.
