If you want to remove axle nuts, go for 1/2" drive sockets.
I also sat and watched a rookie mechanic at my local shop get his ass chewed out for using a filter socket (that broke) as he was trying to remove an axle.
It all boils down to "can you?" vs "should you?"

This is more in line with what I would like, though I don't know what the quality is! 30 day return.

***i guess these would be a little better for plastic housings***

I was just looking at an 18" Capri breaker bar in 3/8" size (which is a lot of leverage for a 3/8"), but the breaker bar was only rated for around 180 ft lbs. So, while an 18 inch 3/8" breaker bar should give you more than enough leverage, most 3/8" breaker bars probably aren't rated over 200 ft lbs. As such, while these sockets are big enough and (should be) strong enough for hub work, the 3/8" input size is the biggest limiting factor.

A low-profile 3/8" socket lets you apply the torque with less side twisting, or so I think.
Other than the filters, I'm not sure where else I would use them. The only large hardware on a passenger car besides an axle nut is an adjuster bolt on some of the steering racks.
