Hey all, I'm planning to buy a socket and wrench set and was wondering what size would I be needing to work on my car.

metric,

if you can get a set that ranges from 8mm to 19mm

common honda sizes 8 10 12 14 17 19

3/8 drive is fine

Those are pretty much all you need.

Only odd ball i found was the Rod bolts and a b16 were 13mm,

also 18mm - at least 26mm for the bigger nuts like the axle nut... 1/2 dr. would be better seeing that our cars are old and bolts are a BISH to get out.

Might I also suggest eventually picking up a set of stubby box end wrenches and ratcheting box end wrenches. They are a little more on the expensive side, especially the ratcheting wrenches, but they work great for hard to reach or tight areas.
Oh, and definitely some extensions and a breaker bar.

if your axle nuts are as stubborn as mine were your going to need a 1 inch drive

AXLE NUTS!!

Alright, cool. Well for now I bought me a stanley 85 pcs tool set and a Duralast 11 pcs metric wrench set from autozone.

axle nut is 32mm btw on 92-00 94-01 civic/teg it is anyways lol

Dont forget the crank pulley tool (yes, there are other ways to remove it, but save yourself the headache):

Dont forget the cheater bars. My fave is a jack handle from a 4 ton floor jack. It makes my 1/2 in. breaker bar pull its weight . also, screwdrivers are not prybars!

hahaha, i would have went with snap-on or craftsman but then are pretty pricey for my budget at the moment. I'll get them when I get my own place and a garage to work on my car
