This is funny - 10mm essential socket set

[BarnyardEngineering]

It's a long-running joke among metric tool users that the 10mm socket is always missing. 10mm is the most common size of bolt head in metric fasteners.

Harbor Freight took this to heart and created the 10mm Essential Socket Set. Ten 10mm sockets of various types and drives, all on a rack so they're all together.

I had seen that, while Im barely kicking and screaming into the 1990s and dont often use metric yet, I had to
chuckle at that too.

I use SAE a lot more and a 9/16 set like that might find a buyer at my house!

Leave it to HF to provide what the customer wants! Good for them!

Napa has that in their Carlyle brand,
also.

Snap On offers those sets, too, in 10mm
and 13mm.

WOW - You guys never had a Honda ANYTHING? Or a Toyota? DATSUN maybe? I think you're ALL Fibbing. Dad got me
a Z-50 Honda Mini-Trail for Christmas 1965. I couldn't even change the oil in it, hated to use a Cresent
wrench on the metric& drain plug. For Christmas the next year I bought Dad a set of metric combination wrenchs
so I could borrow them.
Lots of imported ag equipment has been all metric forever.

With today's cars & trucks, metric wrenches and sockets are most frequently used tools. I even bought deep
well metric impact sockets 3-4 years ago. Lug nuts on my 2015 Ford Edge and 2018 RAM 1500 are metric. My
metric tools are better than my SAE tools.
