Regardless, 17mm and up aside, I still think it would be decent as an emergency set. Hopefully anything a person would need in an emergency would be for smaller/simpler stuff.
Thanks for the heads up and info on the sizes and socket types, though. Good info.
As above poster stated, most aren't doing any maintenance / service on the side of the road.
This set is pretty cheap and I would pay $1 per socket, as that's what I used to pay for deals from Sears for Craftsman sets. Individual sockets are expensive, especially when you go higher in size.
On 6pt bolts/nuts, a 6pt socket can take more torque with less chance of it rounding off. But, sometimes, in tight quarters, its difficult to get a 6pt socket onto a nut or bolt and have clearance with the ratchet handle. Picture a clock face. With a 6pt the ratchet handle would be at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12. Throw a 12pt socket on and the handle could be at 1,2,3, etc.

Someones going to have to explain to me why they need a 17mm or 19mm 3/8 on the road. 17-21mm you're in lug nut size and you're not freeing off a lug with a 3/8 wrench.
