Missing 10 mm sockets?

[LCHIEN]

Apparently this is real, not a April fool joke.
Harbor Freight has a complete set of 10 mm sockets with every drive size to fill out your tool box's lost sockets.

WHat the world needs is a 9mm to 10 mm socket converter then we can use all those useless 9 mm sockets in place of the missing 10 mm sockets.

Has anyone actually ever encountered a 9 mm nut?

If you often lose 10mm sockets, consider buying a spare set or marking them for easy identification. In addition, maintaining a clear tool organization system also helps to minimize this loss.

[If you often lose 10mm sockets, consider buying a spare set or marking them for easy identification]. That is what the original post is about and, why HF offers a whole set. I haven't checked, but in all probability the size 10mm is the most used and therefore the most lost - kinda like the most used letter in the English alphabet is the "E".

It is so bad, this picture is from one of the 3d printing sites and seems to be a common thing for mechanics with 3d printers.


And I haven't visited this site in a long time. In the last decade my woodworking went down to almost nothing, while my employers were both having medical issues (my hours went way up), then one died, and I ended up with yet more responsibilities while helping with the estate (during covid) and three years of a lot of that junk, followed by becoming an owner of the business (more headaches). then the other brother wrecked and has been out ever since, while I had been working 7 days a week, while fighting cancer.
Haven't working in a month now, and find out next week, but based on symptoms, I believe I am losing the battle and don't expect to live a lot longer.

So thank you all for all the years, idea's, advice, inspiration, etc. that this site has provided me. If I get lucky and beat it, I expect I will be back in the future with probably the portable Sawstop (owning a business, can't afford to lose my fingers, time off, etc. plus much smaller projects anymore).
Until then...............

LR, I hate to hear about your cancer. I will lift you in prayer and have appreciated you posts and membership here. Praying for you!

Thank you for that picture. Yep the #10mm is my most lost also.

L-R, it's hard to hear of all the tribulations, for me, having to give up my hobbies would be a sad thing.
We miss your presence here and hope you can spend more time with us; with modern cell phones it's easy to keep in touch even when away fro a computer.

Hope you beat the cancer problems, it seems a lot of people are these days. Make the time you have, if its limited, for you instead of others.

Loring

Take care L-R. Will think of you in my prayers also.
