FINALLY!!!!

A fix for all those missing 10mm’s. Ole Harbor Freight figured it out.

Lol.  Fantastic idea.

I bought one of those sets, here is a current pic.

Weird how that works.   Whenever I see a bunch of sockets at a flea market or such...I sit there and go through it trying to find (quality) 10mm sockets.    Must go to that same dimension where all the missing socks go.    I'm missing some 12mm as well.

I had to go to Harbor Freight today to pick up a couple tools for a stairlift install tomorrow.  I actually picked up that set while I was there.  I figure that will get me by for about a month.

All missing socks are reincarnated as extra Tupperware lids.

I'd like to also see them sets in different sizes as well.

8mm and 5/16 seem to go same way. But its an awesome idea.

12mm too Unc!! that is EXACTLY where my mind went when I read the lead into this much needed thread!! Another one would be an 18mm plug socket.. Rare as hens teeth just when you need em the most! Thin wall, 1/4 drive, 6 point, deep well with opening deep enough in the bottom for the top of the plug.. Give me a 6 pack please,, and a nice Cuban Cigar to boot LOL

My garage has second dimension and someone from that dimension keeps borrowing my 10 and 12mm sockets. Sometimes they will return them and I find them laying on my work bench as if they never left and other times they just don't return them.

LOL.  I'm a relatively new wrench head and I thought it was just me.  I will sleep better tonight.

Yah!! I have wrenched with you at times. I understand your explanation, but doubt the reasoning.

Secondhand store in Emporium, PA.   Not a decent socket in this whole mess.

My tools and tool box were bought in 1965 when I started to work for GM and have added metric wrenches ...It still needs everything put back in its place every so often and it seems that if I don't everything back in its place the size I need is always hard to find ...All the handy tool holders only work if I put everything back into the right place

If you had only one 10mm fastener and no other reason to use a 10mm socket, it would still be missing when you needed it!
