I purchased one of the craptastic nozzle sets off Amazon. They work and are fine for basic testing. I've read reports of them shearing off, particularly with higher-temp materials. The wrench and socket are worth the price in any case.
As you start to do more serious and expensive prints, consider some better quality nozzles. On AliExpress, Triangle Labs has a nicer clone set that's a bit more expensive but looks to be of far higher quality. I've ordered a set, but they've not arrived yet.
I've worked with a variety, and tend to buy an E3D version of whatever sizes I'm going to work extensively with for consistency. My notes on nozzle sizes are here.

it comes with other things, but the red tool alone is worth all the money alone
This might be wider knowledge than I think but I frequent this sub a lot and after owning my MK3 for about 6 months and going through about 4 spools of material (1 of which was wood filament), I began having issues with stringing and a drop in quality, under extrusion, etc..
I saw the post last week about Woodfill being abrasive so I decided to order some nozzles. Sure enough! My nozzle had worn down!
I even went to the discord two weeks ago asking why I'm having to drop my live-z by 0.0## every week. It was because I was grinding the tip of the nozzle or something. That was the reason!
I'm still not totally sure how this happened but it was likely the woodfill. I suspect 3 rolls of PLA didn't do it. I'm betting it was the 1 roll of Wood.
Check your nozzles people! They're super cheap. This is what I got. -- I want to fiddle with a 0.2 for some high detail prints. :)
I usually buy my nozzles on Amazon. I would look for a variety pack so you can try different nozzle sizes.
Here's a link for one I found on Amazon. I don't know how good it is, it's just the first one that popped up.
