    There is one thing about odd metric size wrenches you might not know in US. Like spaghetti are growing on trees in northern italy and get harvested, we got tool trees that produce all kinds of metric wrenches in continental europe. A lot of those go into export. So, what we do is: we keep the useful sizes like 10mm and put stuff like 9mm, 6,5mm and stuff like that up for shipping abroad because for us that is as close to metric system as we can get.

    • @MindBlowerWTF

    Goodness. You spoke an absolute on the internet! OK: 6.5mm is a loose 1/4" (something like 6 thou over). 20mm is a loose 25/32" (many antique cars use this size fasteners). 9mm is about a third of an inch and therefore a loose 1BA in Whitworth - perfect for those proper British cars (keep your upper lip stiff).

When we got to a part of the field where the furrows were deep, almost right away the steering wheel just rotated wildly, that's the reason he was snickering.

    9 mm on some 80s Fords, Crown Vic corner lenses, bicycles use them as do many brake bleeder valves, it can substitute for the 8-32 Vex EDR wrench in robotics. Some battery hold downs also need a 9 mm. They probably should be 10 but only the 9 fits. I believe my son's old Honda motorcycle has some 9 mm bolts. Just because cars and trucks don't use them isn't enough reason to eliminate them as there are a lot of other industries out there that use them including those from other countries. A 19 mm lug nut with those dumb caps that expand with rust take a 20 mm socket well. I have a 33 mm and a 36 mm socket that aren't used every day but every once in a while they are. I can't remember the last time I used ignition wrenches but they are in my tool box.

    You can go through any tool set, and the best condition sockets and wrenches which are pretty much guaranteed to not be missing is the 9mm, the 16mm, and the 20mm.
    You'll buy a metric set, and they will include the 9mm and the 16mm, but omit the 14mm or something stupid like that. Whoever decides what goes into these tool sets need to seriously get their head examined.

  • @rydplrs71

    The 9mm is for when rust rounds off a 3/8 nut, or bolt head.
    My 9mm sockets do show some use. It might be rust or it might be from older John Deere tractors. I know I needed to buy 18 and 16mm to work on them. Every other manufacturer put 17 and 19 mm heads on those thread sizes. Not JD, but it does seem to make it so a single wrench set can take apart a nut and bolt. They just also used those off sizes when you don’t need two wrenches.

Only M3 is weird in being 5.5mm. But for most consumer products imho as an engineer if you're using M3 nuts you're doing something wrong anyway

    And so you have a sacrificial wrenche when that is needed to do something else with it.
    (In honesty i am wondering if there weren't any 9mm screws on my bycicle in the 80's for soemthing. I am of the impression i used it for something. Same for the 20mm, but i think it was something about plumbing with that.)

    RUST is why 1/2 size and 9mm, etc. Start with an 8 or 10 mm bolt or nut. Swell it or beat it down with rust. Remove what's left of the nut by pounding an off size socket onto what's left. If that fails torch time. If that fails a single squirt of penetrating oil will make the nut come right off.
