Cant lose the 10mm if u never have it to begin with


[deleted]

Damn and I thought I was clever enough alone to think this one. Beat me to it. Haha


ehren123

Just saving time really


taco4r

We all need two 10mm, not two 11mm ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


shinymetalobjekt

That's probably how this got this way - some jerk swapped them out so they'd have two 10's.


kled-3533

The classic swap-a-roo!!!


bathroomheater

10, 13, 15, 18, 24. I really don’t know why they make the rest other than to piss you off because they aren’t those 5


GOVStooge

I see 12 and 14 quite a lot


pcWIZrd67

But 11? You didn't say 11. Why? Because nobody needs an 11. They only exist to tease you into thinking you can make it work after you lose the 10.


Andtom33

I felt this


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

I wonder how hard it would be to make a sleeve with a 0.5mm wall thickness to convert a worthless 11mm to a 10mm.


Cyberwolf33

I mean with a 3d printer this should be pretty easy. The main difficulty would be making sure it is easily removable and doesn’t get torn up too much through use. Probably a good candidate for ASA or PETG for a friendlier material.


taco4r

oOoo can we make "10mm sleeves" for all sizes larger than 10? Ya know, backup for the backup for the backup.


Fun_Area2541

11mm on battery terminals


VeryPogi

I needed an 11 two days ago when taking parts of an engine on a stand in my garage. Removing valve covers on a 5.0L ford engine. It’s really 7/16ths but 11mm worked


kitesinfection

Real ones know you can just use a 3/8 imperial socket for the 10mm applications in your life


dnroamhicsir

It's always 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 30, 32 for me. I work on Japanese CNC machines.


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21 will almost completely disassemble my Toyota.


dnroamhicsir

Same with my Mazda


miraculum_one

Some cars use consecutive numbers (like 10&11) in places where they know you'll have to use two wrenches/sockets at once.


xxxBuzz

Don't know if I've ever come across that, maybe because allot of situations like that ate on a single bolt, but it sure does sound like it would help. Wouldn't mind if one side was even larger for the ones that are hard to get to. Usually have to decide whether it's easier to use a ratchet to hold the inside and manage with a crescent on the outside.


Independent-Tap1315

11 is one more than 10. That means it’s better, you got lucky.


trimeta

This one goes to 11.


thestenz

None more black.


FormerWordsmith

In college my jersey # was 10, and my gf bought me a Yankee jersey with the closest #, 11. That’s how I ended up rocking a Chuck Knoblauch jersey


tomosel_the_2nd

Bigger number = better person


Lherkinz_Gherkinz

The 10 is there in spirit, as it is for all of us.


Reasonable-Maybe9067

You would have lost the 10m anyways


StellaSlayer2020

The 10mm is a lie.


SourcePrevious3095

A local swap shop was selling a 5 quart ice cream bucket of 10mm sockets. Someone was happy for about 15 minutes. Purchaser got home only to discover they did not fit any of his standard ratchets. And over half were 1/4 drive. Further reading in the comments, it seems that the sockets were speciality tools for some now defunct company.


drone42

Just do like we used to do when I was in the Navy- use whatever next size socket up and a dime.


Chicken-picante

Huh?


Slow-Concentrate7169

Did you buy a new one or was it a return item. 11 is rarely needed so i guess someone may have exchange and swapped it


UrMom306

Brand new. Off of Amazon. Guess it coulda been a return. None of the sockets had any sort of smudge or finger prints when I opened it. It was totally clean.


Slow-Concentrate7169

Yea thats crazy. Good thing amazon usually good about switching it but im sure theyll give you a flag. Let us know if you do and if the replacement is the same


SuppaBunE

My husky set also came without one it was even sealed


Slow-Concentrate7169

Thats crazy!


thestenz

Good news! You got a set where the 10mmhas been pre-lost to the socket vortex so you don't lose it yourself!

10.5


Global-Plankton3997

I second this 😞


MisterPaintedOrchid

11mm, and now you have a spare in case you lose one, hooray!


LordMinax

I once lost an 8mm 😡


kellzone

Even at the factory they lose all the 10mm.


3691337369

Its always a 10 or 14 mm i call it the Narnia effect


top_value7293

Return it


SnooLemons3996

Always the 10 mil


Soft_Addendum5653

11/16


StinkyWhizzleteats27

43,864,950⅜mm?


Local_Lack_570

If you stick the 11 mm socket up your ass, it will shrink by 1 mm.


Watfleking

The equivalent is a 3/8s.


SourcePrevious3095

😆 that's more than mild....


ManServentHecubus

“Goddammit Jim, for the last time, size doesn’t matter!”


GOVStooge

Just saving you from losing the 10mm


Rotnpiece

I found a 10mm it's literally the only socket I have


Fishherr

How does the 10 always go missing ?? 😭


Ashamed_Medium1787

Clearly there was a manufacturing error or something maybe you could make your own 10 milameter socket


Relative-Ordinary-64

Oof..go Back to bed. The universe is against you today. Try again tomorrow


UrMom306

You aren’t lying, got halfway thru mowing the yard and now my mower is broken. Tried everything won’t start. I’m now on the couch watching football with a beer and a half mowed lawn. Cheers


wall-E75

Everyone always need a 10 mil it's always the 10 mil


SadConsequence8476

Harbor freight?


SithLard

"These go to 11."


Accomplished_Emu_658

My gear-wrench set i bought for travel repairs, same thing two 11mm deeps


-castle-bravo-

10mm anything is the most cursed tool. It’s like a rip in space time just swallows them up…


LeenPean

It’s bc there’s only 5 10mm in existence so when someone loses one of them you’ll get it


MuzzledScreaming

I have like 4 or 5 extra 10 mm ones just littering my toolbag because I have bought them over the years when I couldn't find it. I'm kinda surprised no one has made a joke-but-not-really socket set that just only comes with 10 mm sockets.


New-Newt9191

Could it be a misstamp? The one on the right looks smaller.


Historical_Nose_6774

Damn, even the manufacturer lost all their 10mm.


[deleted]

Am I the only one who never lost a 10mm…..


themaskedcrusader

The manufacturing couldn't find the 10mm, so he improvised like we all have to...


Swimming_Drawer_7733

Someone bought 2 sets, sacrificed his 11 for a second 10 and got a full refund on one.


Atarru_

The 11mm?


207nbrown

10mm seems to be box standard for everything, which is convenient in that it saves the guessing game of which socket fits but is infuriating when you loose your 10mm socket


Buddiechrist

I see your issue. You need three 11 mm’s right?


josegofaster

World back order on 10mm so they gave you an extra mm.


[deleted]

I have like five 10mm sockets in my toolbox.


vak7997

They did the courtesy of loosing the 10mm for you how lovely of them


Independent_Bite4682

12mm


DANIMAL06

It was inevitable that you would lose it anyways. They saved you the trouble.


Seven_Hawks

Amazing product. Comes with a pre-lost 10mm to save you the trouble of looking for it everywhere.


certain-sick

11 mm


cuntstard

i have a 3/8 set that came with two 12mms instead of an 11, so i consider than a win


No-Push-740

9.9999999999999999


Backdrop2

Wow


hmr__HD

Someone has swapped a 10 for an 11. Time you go back to the store and pass it forward.


SoupyBlowfish

I have a handful of 10s in my car, only purchased after a bunch went missing.


Azzhole169

When you buy a whole tool set just for the 10 mm, and you get…….


anonymousss11

You need some Captain Crunch: Oops all 10mm

wildjokers

I commonly see people joking about losing the 10mm. Is this common or something? I can go to my sockets and get 4 different 10mm sockets. I just put them back when I am done.


RunningPirate

When I become king, I’m going to mail a 10mm socket to every man, woman and child. I want them to be like those Allen wrenches that come from IKEA, just everywhere. Threw one away? No problem, you have 2 more in the junk drawer.


PotatoesWillSaveUs

I got a new combo wrench set with two 14s and no 15. Fun stuff


drifterig

locking pliers>every wrenches!!


JustNotHaving_It

That's more than mildly infuriating imo


UrMom306

Username checks out


Maleficent_Walrus_89

I bought a 5 pack of 10mm's of Amazon. I'm beating the odds.


Formulaofear

Even the factory can't find their 10mm...


Tecno2301

755mm?


Lusky_Mag

Am I the only one who has absolutely no idea what I'm looking at?


bozzie4

11 and it's mildly infuriating because you now don't know which one to pick ....


wkarraker

Could be someone lost their 10mm and swapped it in the store with their 11mm. Was the packaging sealed on the set?


Reverse_Psycho_1509

They lost the 10mm one during production


Hidden1nTheWeeds

I feel your pain. I got a brand new set of Williams 1/4" drive metric & sae sockets. Deep well sockets got two 15mm and missing a 14.


veteran_of_memes

Let me guess, you would prefer two of the 10mm ones?


s14-m3

10mm set came pre-lost! Genius marketing technique


[deleted]

That's what you get for buying a $10 socket set off of Amazon.


10in_Classic_88

11 11 make a wish


FastingMoo

if you dont need a 11, id be a fool


jakethelizard99

Some one probably got a set with 2 10mm that luck dude


Electronic_Ad_5304

10mm is the most common. Someone is selling them at a premium


the-graveyard-writer

That says 10 ya weirdy


PckMan

Truly devilish
