I was looking at my metric 3/8" drive sockets from 7mm to 22mm and noticed the 20mm looked like new, as if it was never used compared to all the others. Are there any nuts and bolts with a 20mm head out there?
Are there socket sizes that never get used?

Of course there are.
If my memory serves me well, my old beemer has a couple and I think VW may have needed a 20mm wrench on their old air cooled motors.

My 9mm has seen use before, I couldn't tell you one what.
Also they can be pounded on rounded 3/8 bolts.

9mm deep for the valve on the bowl floor of an old Toyota carb (I guess they're all old at this point...)

Well yeah, I use combo spanners to undo & ratchet combo spanners to tighten afterwards, it helps speed up the job & doesn't wear out the ratchet spanners & I prefer them in twelve point, unless the fastners have been butchered, then I use 6 point sockets or a nut splitter if I can get them in. Most of my needs are Metric & E-Torx, being the most common tools used. I also prefer Snap-On, but do have other brands.

It all depends on what you work on...
Of course there are different strokes for different folks !
Meaning there are big things, and there are small things
that need repair. Choose yer weapons and come out fighting.

I can't remember the last time I used any of my SAE sockets.

What the hell does this mean and why do you always put it at the start of your posts? Are you a pirate or something?

This has been asked before, never got a response from poster, so subscribed to see why the hell someone takes time to type some kind of local dialect jibberish before each post!
