I have a friend in the military that shared this. He doesn’t understand why it is so funny.

I just lost a nice high quality 10 mm spanner. I’m pissed.

Is that a hollow-point socket?

I’ve always need both along with a 13mm.

Mechanically inclined people are always joking about not be able to find a 10mm socket/wrench etc.

I would be too. I misplaced my good ratcheting one.

A really rusty 10mm... ask me how I know.

I could make sense out of a 9mm, please explain.

Some cycling gear does and I can’t recall what but I’ve used it on a car or truck too. That picture up above is for a 9mm spline drive. I have one of those in a set, never used it.

In many car communities online people are always joking about losing 10mm sockets and wrenches etc.

I’ve got one of those at home. Except mine is not for an impact sadly.

I’ll give that a star just because I feel I must.

I think I’ve only used a 9mm on a slightly stripped bolt before honestly. It’s weird, I’ve had more use for a 5.5 I have than that.

05/17/2017 at 16:08, STARS: 0

Yeah, I thought about that afterwards. I’ve been there.

OK, but what about the “The things you find police calling” bit? #blessed makes sense now.

Oh, okay. That’s kind of funny to me for a different reason. All the nuts on wheelchairs are either 7/16" or 10 mm, with a smattering of other metric sizes. So, I always keep a set of metric sockets.

Police call basically means making sure there is absolutely nothing on the ground. It’s just one of those military things.

It seems like most items in the world now meant for mobility of any type vary between 8,10, and 13mm anymore.

I was coming here to say “ I ’ ll take ‘ Things lost somewhere in the engine bay of my car for $200 please, Alex ’”

Then I looked up “ police call ” and realized we ’ re on the same page. ( “ The things you find WHILE police calling ” would have read better. You had me confused for a long time. I was like “ Why are the police calling a socket? Is this about their preference for 40cal rounds vs 9mm? ” )

I’m 37, so am I!

Spotted the encyclopedia set this weekend at my grandparents house for a funeral. I cracked the same joke with a handful of aunts and uncles, who all watched Laugh In, but they were all too old to remember it :P

Japanese automakers go for 12 and 14 mm instead of 13, for what it’s worth.

As far as I’m concerned, tool kits should have 3 extra 10mm everything and double 13mm everything. One of each in a set? Pfft...

I can’t remember what size it is, but on the Vanagon thus beast was used to remove the rear axles. I didn’t have a big enough breaker bar, so I used the secondary method of pounding on the flat parts for loosening and tightening these nuts.

Yeah, his phrasing was a bit off but most people that follow him would understand(even though he is an MP).

I did not know that. The only things I’ve worked on have been all US domestic brands. Except a scooter, but I haven’t really torn into that yet.

I don’t have too many uses for a 12mm between a Jeep, Focus, Rendezvous, and Ram 1500. Those brands aren’t big user of it.
