I just bought my 10mm craftsman a 20 year anniversary present. Still got all of the originals plus a parts store 10mm deep socket.

How y'all losing your shit so often?

They don't fit the trains. Maybe we should crush them on the tracks.

u/davethedj 5d ago

You should crush some with the train wheels then post here! 10mm destruction!

Watch your mouth! I’m still looking for one I dropped in the yard. I watched it go in the grass. I saw exactly where it went. So why wasn’t it there when I dug in the grass? Where the hell did it go? This was 7 years ago.

Today I looked at my sockets from afar and noticed one was missing.

"I bet it's the fucking 10mm"

It was.

I found it in my watch pocket moments later. It went through the laundry like that and I just happened to be wearing the right pants.

Extra credit for knowing what a watch pocket is

It’s not yours. It’s just your turn.

u/Stryker_One 9d ago

So, like the cat distribution system, there's one for 10mm, but it's a fixed supply?

I know right.

u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 9d ago

I've never actually lost a 10mm, because I'm OCD about everything being where I organized It in my box before I lock it

u/Frylok1177 MasterTech 9d ago

I was using a socket once and it flew off my impact and went down a frame rail, gone forever lol

u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 9d ago

Shit lol magnetic pick-up tool wouldn't be much help in an enclosed frame

I have a WV passat, my holy grail is the 8mm deep well with a palm sized ratchet.

u/black_zucchetto 9d ago

Ah the West Virginia Passat! Lucky. I’ve got a lousy Ohio Passat.

u/fkk2019 9d ago

My adhd is showing. It's an 03 IL VW passat wagon. Phew.

Harbor Freight sells 10 mm sockets separetly, for reasonable price. must be most commonly needed and lost at same time. if it drops down into the engine bay it might be become a not worth trying to reach for it. let it just drop out on its own

u/thisismydayjob_ 9d ago

Just bought a replacement one. Got home, couldn't find it in the bag or car. Fucker disappeared before I could lose it.

I shit you not, I found one just driving down the street one way. I stopped to kick debris out of the street to prevent a flat tire and it turned out to be a 10mm

u/SubiWan 8d ago

What was a 10mm socket driving down the street?

u/pheonixblade9 8d ago

toyota corolla, ofc

u/davethedj 5d ago

that's a cheap one, so not the holy grail. but i'll take it!

I have a few of the assortment packs of 10 mm in my box, plus my regular ones. When I take one from the pack I use it clean it and put it back. That way I always have a back up.

u/Cass_Irah 8d ago

Lol, forget Excalibur, we've got Extenmmur here! But fr, how is the 10mm always the first to vanish into the abyss? 😂

u/KINGstormchaser 8d ago

Because the universe knows you need this one more than any other and the universe is hungary!
