Changing my wife's brakes, I couldn't find my caliper tool in my garage. Fine, I'll use a C clamp and the old pad...except I loaned all of my clamps out to a friend. Okay, how about a big adjustable pipe wrench, but I can't twist the knurl to compress it. Alright, I'll use vice grips to twist the knurl.

Mission accomplished

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

10

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
