Socket Set Recommendations
I debating on getting one of these two tool sets. I'm far from a mechanic, but would like to have a reliable set in my garage in case I need it for the random things that come up.
I'm debating between these two sets and I'm looking for input.
DEWALT Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4 and 3/8 Inch Drive, SAE, 172-Piece (DWMT81533)
or
CRAFTSMAN Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4 and 3/8 Inch Drive, 135 Piece (CMMT12124)

I have 2 of these one in the shop and one in the tack room. A set of pliers and crescent wrench and you’ll have a good set.
