These look pretty decent for the price.

Deep Socket Set - Would it be Metric?

Ak692 is the same price. With sealey check their website they always have promotions. Get the part number and google it there will be loads of sellers selling well below rrp.
My first toolbox was £600 on sealey site I got it for less than £300 with free tools ak692 was included. They are not the normal 6 point sockets the points are rounded (wall drive) to grip the sides of the fasteners and not the points so less chance of rounding off.
And to carry on the af metric bull the ak692 includes af and metric also a handy af to metric conversion sticker

If you read my post again, I recommended and linked to a metric set, with my recommendation being based on my ownership of the AF set that I bought to go in the boot of my Super Minx.
I didn't buy the metric set as I already have metric deep in the garage.
Edit: To be clear - I've just read my post and I said 'they do both'. What I meant by this was that Clarke make the set in AF and metric, not that AF works for everything. Soz

Dammit I was hoping you didt realize. I didt look at the link
Some not all af sockets work on metric, infact my sealy sets from 96 and 07 both include af and metric along with a chart showing what af sizes work on metric

They might work after a fashion but they're not a good fit. Especially using metric on rusty old AF. Asking for trouble.
Some work, some are slightly smaller and some are slightly bigger. The only af sizes I have in my tool box are 3/8 and 1/2” because they are slightly smaller than 10and 13mm you can knock them on rounded fasteners. I do have another af but that’s welded on my caliper wind back tool
