Often handier for your bike is to just buy the sockets you need-8,10,12,14 and 17.
These are common sizes on most dirt bikes and you can buy a better quality socket without getting a heap in a set that you wont use.

Or buy a cheap-ish socket set to start, so you've at least got one of nearly everything, then over time replace the most frequently used sizes with good ones.

but then you keep spending your hard earned dosh on replacement tools you wreck on the job cause they wernt up to the punishment of being used all the time buy once in good quality and if need be a second for home use then your set for life plus you will take better care of them if they cost you a bit more

Imusing the King Tony brand sets at the moment and bang for buck they are pretty darn fantastic.
Not up there with snapon etc but they havent let medown yet after 3 years of abuse

Yeah mate to be honest thats about all you need .They are far from the cheap shit and more than you need for repairs on a dirt bike.Good choice of brand without breaking the bank.

As far as using shit tools cause you dont want to make your boss richer-just remember without your boss making some coin you wouldnt have a job
