Those sets are a bit hit n miss with the sizes though
If it slips once I tend to go to those sockets, or if you know it's gonna be a bastard cos of the other side, just go for it straight away. If they're on properly they'll never let go, had to do some rear subframe bolts on a BMW E36, ended up with the car on the ground, jack on the ratchet and jack the car up, use the weight of the car to undo the bolt. It's a bit of a con about sizes, you buy the plastic box which isn't full then you buy the other packet to complete the box, then you've got most sizes.
