What's no good? Having a Subaru and not being able to find your 10mm socket. You could damn near put the whole car together with just a 10mm socket.

Have some eye candy.

I haven't done much work on the car, but I have noticed the use of 10mm everywhere!

There is the occasional 8mm and maybe a 12. But my god the amount of 10mm is insane. I swear if you had a wrench, 8/10/12mm sockets, and a flathead/philips screwdriver you could take apart the entire car.

Why do you only have 1 10mm socket?

I think I have at least 14, and they're all different.

deep vs shallow, 6 pt vs 12 point, 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 drive, chrome vs impact. I have most combinations of these variables.

Well I have more, but it stills doesn't negate the fact that I'm missing one out of my favorite set.

Replacing the exhaust was basically 10, 12 and 14. I used the 14 twice and the 12 for one panel. The rest was all 10mm. Makes it pretty easy to be honest.

There is no way that ended well.

ok, that's understandable. I definitely have a a few go-to variants in each size.

This. Exactly this. 1 of any tool is never enough.

Anyone remember the commercial in the late '90s for the Mazda B-Series truck?

As I remember it, a dude was at a motocross track fixing his bike, and a fellow dirt biker comes to help. We find out it's a woman when she takes off her helmet. He needs a wrench. She asks "Three eighths?". He answers "Ten millimeter". "Ooh, my favourite." she says. We then presume they end up banging in the back of his truck.

I keep both of my rachets with 10mm shallow sockets on them at all times.

I don't think you'd be able to get the wheels off without a 19mm socket... I'm just saying. Or the axle nut without a 32mm... But aside from that, you're pretty much right

Front and rear swaybars are all 10mm bolts, and the endlinks are either an 8mm or 10mm wrench plus a small 6mm allen wrench I believe...

...yeah, I got to know my Subaru pretty well lol

thinking off the top of my head, I think I have the same... at least 7 10mm sockets, and at least 1 10mm wrench

well, if we're talking wrenches... let's see, you've got 6 and 12 point box end, open end, flare, open and flare crows foot, stubby, and offset

if i had a snap on habit, i'd be broke as shit :)
