| Staring back from the abyss  |
It would seem that it is universally believed to be the 10mm socket, and as evidence of that, something comical happened recently. I finally got around to replacing the stock radio in my Mustang with an aftermarket bluetooth model. Upon removing the behemoth from the dash, I looked in and saw this on the shelf it sat on:  Yep, that's a 10mm deep socket laying there. Somewhere, there's a guy who's been walking around his shop for the past 50 years, scratching his head going, "Dammit! Where did I put that socket?"  ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | ||

My first thought when seeing the title was '10mm socket' Found a mini vise-grip & a tiny wrench in my Midget. The wrench was the scary one, as it was on one of the bleeders for the front caliper & I'd probably driven it 10 miles that way before I found it. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

My most lost tool is my mind. Followed closely by 10mm sockets. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

What year Mustang? Having a 10mm in there if old suggests something else I think. Not sure what, but something? Like that's where mine bounced to? You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

The one I had in my hand 2 minutes ago, dammit! Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

It's a '68, so I suspect it was dropped at some point and just ended up there to sit for who knows how long. I don't believe that there were any original metric bolts back then, but could be wrong on that. It's an original old Craftsman, though, so I suspect it's been in there awhile. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Same here! I think some companies actually started selling bulk packs of 10mm sockets just to address this problem! | |||

I spent twelve years as a distance runner and a trucker. I ran everywhere, from roads in Indiana, to all over California. While running, I’d stop and pick up any tools I found on the road. I ended up with a dish of odds and ends, and most of those are 10mm sockets. You loose it in your car, and it falls out on the road when you hit a bump.

In my former work, I unfortunately left some tools in cars. One - a 10mm socket - had me quite apprehensive, since I had earlier used it working on an engine where I had the intake ports open. (It was OK - it didn't fall down in one - but I still never found it.) Conversely, I have also acquired tools that somebody else left in a car, such as the flashlight that now sits on my nightstand. | |||

Harbor Freight makes a 10mm set for this very reason. 1/4, 3/8, deep and shallow. I have one in my box and it comes in handy! 10mm Metric Essential Socket Set -------------------------------------------- Floridian by birth, Seminole by the grace of God | |||

10mm Combo wrench + 10mm & 13mm Sockets by my stepson when he raced motocross. I would buy several at a time. __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit! Sigs Owned - A Bunch | |||

There were two ways to verify that. Which did you choose? You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

My first thought. 10mm socket. My neighbor owns an auto shop. I bought him a Belden 10 mm master set as a gag gift. He loved it. He keeps it locked up so nobody else grabs it. There is one tool in there that he said is the only one that works in some situation he runs into. I also bought 3 more of those sets. Gave 1 each to the techs that work on the boat I run and kept 1 for myself. | |||

I went to grab a 10mm from unlocked tool chest at work. Tried 3 socket sets 5/6 sockets were missing, and 1/2 ratcheting wrenches was. Sent pics to some friends and we all got a good laugh. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
