Metric only socket tool set

Whats the largest metric only socket set you've seen. I purchased a large craftsman set about 15 years ago and I'm looking to replace it.

I want to but I can't find a large metric only set. The set I have is about 150pcs metric only. The reason I need another set is I have alot of missing sockets. Just curious if anyone else has seen another large metric only set.

But if you insist on a new set,

Yeah for the price of that set I would buy replacement sockets. I think I paid $150 for my set so I thought it would make more sense to buy another set. Thanks for the help

why do you need a socket set with more than 150pc?

You can pretty much take an entire maxima apart with a basic 7mm, 9mm, 10mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm set.

Add in 21mm, 22mm, 24mm, and 32mm for some of the large chassis and hub bolts.....

Then again, I have about 3 or 4 of every metric size between 2mm and 35mm, and another few of each size in 3/8" drive as well, so what do I knwo about small sets, lol...
