Why cant I seen to find just a complete set of 1/2 inch sockets

[dhmeiser]

I just want a set of standard SAE 1/2 inch sockets but but it seems nobody sells that without including other things. I just want.

I am looking for 1/2 inch SAE from 1/4" to about 1 1/2 inch sizes

it seems they are either a mixture of attachment sizes with an adapter or a mixture deep well /standard or half metric and half SAE.

any suggestions without breaking the bank?

1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 sockets all in 1/2" drive? Way overkill and cumbersome.

Doubt anyone even makes a 1/4" socket in 1/2" drive. This is what a 5/16" socket looks like.

Why are ratchets square drive and bolts hex head? Seem a little strange to you?

It’s because nobody needs a whole set.

You just buy the one you are missing.

This is about as complete of a set you'll find. Yes, it has both standard and deep sockets but all the common sizes are there for both. https://www.gearwrench.com/all-tool...drive-master-sae-socket-set-foam-storage-tray

Inherited a 3/4” drive set from my Uncle. About 1-1/2” to around 3”. Think I used it maybe 2 times in the last 20 years, but pretty sure those two times saved a lot of time and frustration.

I agree. I have quite a few TEKTON tools including a 3/4" socket set and they are high quality. I like that TEKTON provides information on where their tools are made with many of them made in Taiwan as stated. If you look on their website under "Specs" for each tool or set they have "Country of Origin".
