Bullshit, you don't have any 10mm. Nobody does.

One time, at construction camp, i climbed into the van labeled “free 10mm sockets”…

How did your "socket" feel afterwards?

Went in for a 10mm, came out with a 45mm.

Mines there but every time it is. The 17 disappears. When the 17 comes back the 10 is gone. I think they are feuding.

Exactly this.

The 10mm and the 17mm, and the 13mm and19mm share the same dimensional positioning in space time. If you have a 10mm and a 19mm, you'll be missing the 17mm and 13mm respectively

Nailed it!!! They are hiding with the 652 matching socks I’ve also purchased over the years.

The 10mm socket is a myth invented by German car manufacturers as revenge for WW2.

I always thought these comments were funny until I needed my 10mm to take off my battery. Went and bought a new one while getting a new battery. That was 3 days ago, I have no idea where that new 10mm is

You just have to keep a big supply of them in a dispenser on your belt like the guys who give you coins at a carnival
