that was my setup in my parents basement most of the way through high school.
i've expanded since.
they're more expensive. if you've got the dough, sure. but they don't turn the bolts any different.
i've got 2 toolboxes.
the one in the garage is stocked almost entirely with harbor freight standard socket stuff. mostly 1/4" and 3/8" with a few 1/2" for good measure. home depot sells a 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 wobble extension kit that i really like over the HF stuff. then usually keep a few pick sets for poking and prodding things, as well as some 5-in-1 screwdrivers for turning things.
the basement tool box has ended up getting a home depot husky brand socket set. i like the quality a little more than the HF stuff. otherwise, the basement toolbox inherits tools from work that i decide no longer work great day-to-day, or find better replacements for.

That room is beautiful madness!!
I honestly would rather have a cheaper tool set with more variety than an expensive smaller set. I’m not rebuilding my motor with them, I’m just a weekend wrench-turner. My box has a few torqued and twisted extensions that are useless, but they were dirt cheap and lasted a couple years. No biggie
