My car was maintained and extensively dismantled and reassembled over decades with no sockets. These do speed work but are conducive to stripped and broken threads. Only a very few spanner sizes necessary. Much can be done with a 4" and 12" Cescent type. And for large nuts as rear wheel bearings old style F spanners useful. These often at flea markets for very little and usually battered, so hammering on not a sin. Can often be tidied by filing.
