Re: wrench or socket set? Need advice.
I'd agree with the ratcheting wrenches. The lady bought me a set for Xmass a while back when they were new. The guys at the hangar had a good laugh. "WIMP!" Every time I went to lunch, there would be one or two missing, and I could pinpoint the perpetrator by listening to the unique sound as they were sneaking a test twist. Now that I have a few sets of them, my Snap-On's are on display only, it seems. Get the angled ones. Otherwise you will be getting callouses on the tops of your fingers from abrasions.
