That missing 10mm socket

[RESLLS]

Wife sent me this today. She thought it was cute, didn't realize how true it is.

At the flea market, the guys who sell all of the tools. It is VERY hard to find 10mm sockets and wrenches. Most popular size. The next is 8mm or 5/16.

 

[Steve@Advance]

One would think they would be plentiful...

Laying in the ditches, under the work bench, rolling around in the dryer, down in the fender well.

At some point wouldn't the world become saturated?

 

[jeffcat]

Yup, I think they runaway to some secret hiding place like Shangri-la.

"Gearwrench" has done their best to try to help with this problem. TEN 10MM sockets, all in one place!

 

[T.R.K.]

I know where it is!

My 10 MM is behind the exhaust heat shield on my 1991 chevy K1500. It fell in there 10 years ago when I was installing the engine and the shield is spot welded to the firewall. So its been there ever since.

I bought a whole handful of 10mm sockets, so that each set of 3/8' or 1/4" SAE socket sets also has a 10mm to go along with it.

The socket I ware out the most is a Deep 10MM 1/4" drive... I keep two snap-on's on stand by just encase I have one on another job...
I probably have 5/6 total in other sets...

I ware these out in about 4/5 years I use to buy them for $5 @ on ebay but my cheap supply is not to be found. I installed four of'em on some of my 1/4" extensions last week the last of my stash I hope they hold out till I retire...

Where-ever it is they seem to accept refugees from Australia

This is just wrong. There has to be many men today who don't know what a 10MM socket is. I suppose, in that case, there could be a debate over whether they're really a man, or not! Maybe this cartoon should read OLD GEAR HEAD MEN, instead of just men?

But just what kind of a man would he be if he didn't know what a 10mm socket is for?

Funny as heck. And that's a 'high-visibility' 10mm. I'd like to have all the time back looking for one squinting in poor light to find the little 10mm label.

Here's my contribution.

 

[Billy Shafer]

I painted all of mine red. Still can't find where they are hiding.

You guys must have different equipment than I have. I can't keep my 1/2 and 9/16 sockets and wrenches in my tool box. The metrics sit in their own draw and get used when I work on my wife's Kia.....
