    The commonly used sizes from Japanese vehicles are 10, 12, 14, 17, and 19 in my experience. 13MM and 18MM are used on Fords, at least on some of the accessories I've installed. The 'most useless tool' thread listed several uses for 16MM (2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Caliper Bracket Bolt. 2000 Ford...

    Dramatic New Snap-On Ratchet!

    I picked up an SL715 today for $40. Not a great price, but the woman selling it was in need of the money. Snapon web page sez $136 new, calls it a dual 80, but this one doesn't sound like an 80-tooth ratchet. So, while I was looking a fleabay to see what was a reasonable price, I discovered...
