Show off your 10 milli's

I had no idea they sold "sets" of 10MM socket variations. Now that's clever!
It, however, begs the question: Is an Impact 10MM socket really necessary?
Don't we use a Hand Impact Driver for small frozen bolts so we don't snap 'em off?

I snap an occasional bolt or carriage bolt… but I would definitely say that, overall, I break much less hardware with impact wrenches and drivers than without. They get apart hardware that would just shear with a ratchet.

Most of the time, no, but it can be handy for speed or small parts that you can't get a grip on very easily.

Not an issue for removal, less likely to break than constant pressure with a lever.

Sh!t that would be cool

Before that, you were saying you basically didnt have an empty bucket to bring all your 10mm's over to the workbench.

Here… I found a bucket.

This is all of the 10mm from my main metric socket drawer (minus one deep 1/2” drive 10mm), my cart, and my Powr-Kraft stack… so… there are a bunch of other 10mm in factory sets and hand boxes around my garage… but it is most of them.

Just in case...

I don't have this 10mm issue. I am missing my 13mm snap on combination wrench, still pissed about that.

The beauty of having old stuff….I rarely use a 10mm and I sure never lose them.

You'll have to imagine them 10 times.

Yes, you know it's true

Cordless hole punch.
Nice.

That's one 10mm you lose down behind the radiator.

 

[dnschmidt]

It's fairly rare I use a 10mm.

Mostly 1/2", and 9/16"

Hasn't metric made it to Alaska yet?

Nah, no 10mm needed on the dogs or igloos

 

[PelicanPines]

The majority of MY 10mm... are on vacation...
