You may actually need the 19 quite a few times. But why break up a set, you never know when you're going to need something.

just keep'em...how much would you get out of it? you can get a socket set (new) for around $10 or $20....it totally depends on what you use them for and if you would even use them

yeah if they're crap probably. i know if you get craftsman you're paying for name only, although i have yet to break any of their tools. you can go to home depot and get a great ratchet set for like $40 or so in metrics only. they're warrantied forever, just like the junk at autozone and the like, but the autozone stuff is way too easy to break. it's cheaper, yes, but you'll find yourself going back to autozone in your friend's car in the middle of working on your own car b/c high attrition parts like the 1/2" to 3/8" drive adaptor breaks all the time.

but the prices for craftsmen arent that bad when you think about it. they also have life time warrenty on all of their hand tools. ****, i even abused then before and jsut bring it back to exchange for a brand new spanking one. its also a no questions asked, just as long if they are messed up, they will exchange it free of charged.

Autozone's cheap tools suck ***, however the Duralast brand is extremely good. I snapped my my craftsmen socket on a crankpulley bolt and happen to have once. Took it right off. every since then thats all I buy and have yet to break one. Also you will need the 16 for caliper bracket bolts, and the 19 all over.

why the hell are you parting them out in the first place? if you didn't want them, why didn't you just sell them as a set? i don't get it, man.

Like everyone else has asked you already....why break up a set? You never know when you are going to need one fo the ones that you got rid of. It might not be needed for your car or a car at all. You might buy something for your kid (if you have one) and there is that fine print some assembly required that is a bitch especially when you dont have that one socket that you sold for what 2 bucks. Just keep em.

the reason I wanna break the set is to just keep what I need. I dont like to have extra stuff. I'm a neat guy. plus I need lunch money and I can probly sell the extras for 20 bucks

You must have it rought to be selling random socket sizes for lunch money. How old are you? Anyways, I would keep them set as a whole either if you keep it or sell it. Its worth more together, but why not keep for later in life. A good socket set is something you will always use.
