I only have shallows with a few of the common in deep well sockets. I find more often that the shallow sockets are most usable.

This shallow or deep socket thing is a tricky thing to sort to the best outcome, the deep 1" drive sockets that would realy use in a common situation would be the wheel nut size 27mm to poss 40mm, after that standard depth 12 point sockets are the best bet, I buy my impact wheel nut size sockets from the tyre patch supply Co that do all the tyre- wheel stuff, they are very low cost and briliant quality, I do have an 1"1/2 drive set for the "Man Pig " size nuts but they are only rare use things and the cost is high, the 3/4" drive sockets need to be standard depth 12 point items with just a few 6 point (impact deep) pieces like 19mm 24mm, so 2 sockets of this style should sort things, on the Rachet thing I use a Snap On 3/4" head with a swap out handle and a breaker head, so 2 heads with 1 handle and great kit.
