Metric only socket tool set

Whats the largest metric only socket set you've seen. I purchased a large craftsman set about 15 years ago and I'm looking to replace it.

I want to but I can't find a large metric only set. The set I have is about 150pcs metric only. The reason I need another set is I have alot of missing sockets. Just curious if anyone else has seen another large metric only set.

Buy the ones you are missing instead of buying the whole set?

But if you insist on a new set,

Yeah for the price of that set I would buy replacement sockets. I think I paid $150 for my set so I thought it would make more sense to buy another set. Thanks for the help

why do you need a socket set with more than 150pc?

You can pretty much take an entire maxima apart with a basic 7mm, 9mm, 10mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm set.

Add in 21mm, 22mm, 24mm, and 32mm for some of the large chassis and hub bolts.....


Then again, I have about 3 or 4 of every metric size between 2mm and 35mm, and another few of each size in 3/8" drive as well, so what do I knwo about small sets, lol...
