EPAuto 46 Pieces 1/4-Inch and 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Set with 90 Tooth Reversible Ratchet
I have gotten a few Milwaukees on discount and they are seriously practically jewlery they are soooo nice. They are so nice I don't want to bang them up.

You don't need a super muscle ratchet for a lot of jobs. 1/4" is plenty for many things around the house and automotive.
In terms of clearance; when I was first starting out and had a limit set of tools, I found myself using swivel joints and combinations of multiple extensions a ton. These days, I couldn't tell you the last time I used a swivel joint; I find I use wrenches a lot more and straight 90 degree socketing. The clearance difference between 3/8 and 1/4 isn't that big; it's rare that a 1/4 will fit but not a 3/8 and really tight clearance situations are really designed for wrenches.
I have a 1/4 set and just never really have a need for it.
Likewise nut-driver bits, smaller hex heads work better w nut-driver / hex driver in a ratchet

Just assume that the 1/4" is for the 99% of us who wouldn't know how to find the engine is a car, let alone attack it with a socket.
