Only 2? Pff, amateur

I find it after I don't need it anymore.

i have three hidden on a magnet under one of my box's drawers.

There was a guy who returned an entire toolbox to my work JUST because he'd lost the 10mm socket
OntoTheAnvilOfWar
you know what else is 10mm.?
thecorrupterx
They sell a set of 10mm sockets on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LH7DM14/

As an airframe crew chief, FML when you drop anything and it doesn't fall through or can't be found.
dahlitheweiner
Always the 10 or 13 or 15

Just bought one this morning

Rookie. Should've at least doubled down
iwishiwereclever
Aaaand it’s gone
CallmeMefford
We all did, brother.

Want to find the exact center of your vehicle's undercarriage? Drop a socket.
killersoda275
Also 7mm for hose clamps. Thise fuckers are escape artists.

I had one fall and it went in the hole in the top of the frame.
Stuebydoo
It's the 13mm that I always have trouble with
Lanarius
I opened a drawed

*r at uni and found a ratchet set with like 4 of those and a few single ones in other drawers. Someone probably bought a new one every time.
kutzwuts
I lost 8mm
Siptro
I think all 5 cars I own all have a 10mm somewhere in them, luckily the mom and pop car shop near me sells them individually
JLCBLUEEYEDDEVIL
Been fixing cars for the past 17 years and I've never lost a 10mm socket

mrayetch
So true. Have a box with several 10mm...can't find one when I actually need one.
stilljustachicken
I use a color code, yellow insulation tape on 10mm, green on 13, red on 17, black on 19. Helps a lot to save time.
WalkerCalvert
I work on Caterpillar diesels, may I say: where the FUCK is my 9/16th's?
WhattaYaLookingFor
And I wondered if Americans would even understand this.
WalkerCalvert
Last job I only used metric. Depends what you work on. But honestly the joke is pretty self-explanatory if you do any mechanical work.
phantomgallery
@op found some guys 17 mm blue point box end on the road once
angrypoops
We get it. You socket finding the 10mm

I know, right, all I find are these damn 1cm sockets >.>
cybernoodle
Keep better track of your shit.
spaghettiThunderbolt
Bicycle mechanic here. I have half a dozen 5mm allen wrenches hidden around my toolbox.
TyrannosaurusRoy
Why don’t they just sell a set with a bunch of spare 10 mm sockets?
koops
Magazines of 10mm's!
thecorrupterx
They do: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LH7DM14/

Or woman. Or other.

Good job convering your bases buddy!
suburbanredneck
Principal, also good sockets are expensive
Krimper
I for one am glad auto makers are starting to use the same size bolt heads across the entire vehicle. Saves a bunch of time looking for
JerekoKosta
Yeah but half of them are 10mm.
loser9999
I'd be glad if they just stay consistent with English or metric.
chrishallett83
Japanese cars have been like that since the 70s. 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, & 17mm.
theirrisponsiblecaptain
Pre-metric you could do most work with just a 1/2 and a 5/8. There was a re-learning period for auto makers.
WhattaYaLookingFor
Pre-metric. The dark ages, bruahahaha. Oh wait that’s still the US.
wyatt8740
heh, I've always driven old Volvos. Metric is the way of life.
Krimper
Tools so long as you aren't dropping them or setting them down in unusual places.

Well, I guess some people are really brave
Thatguyandhisdog
My 04 buick took like, four different sockets to replace the brake pads.
CilantroGirl
My 1999 takes the same size hex bolt, except for my brakes which take this weird star shaped shit.
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
07 mini. 16 mm, 13 mm, 15mm skinny wrench, t45. Needed hands like spiders with the strength of a gorilla.
IfOnlyICouldBecomeSoGrosslyIncandescent
It’s a mini, what’d you expect?
Krimper
They're not bad really, I've got an 08 and it's been easy to work on for the few things I've replaced. Mostly just because it's not rusted.
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
It's actually not that bad. If you've got the right tools and knowledge the brakes are pretty easy
CottonTheClown
Can somebody seriously tell me why we need so fucking many different sizes of bolt heads?
wyatt8740
but save space and cost less.
wyatt8740
torque most likely. Larger heads work better with lots of force on them (more torque) than smaller ones which strip more
CottonTheClown
Yeah but you could just have like 5 or 10 sizes instead of like 100
wyatt8740
I see your point.
