THANK YOU! I literally just had mine run away to live in the woods as an elf...there's really no other explanation. I just bought 2 of these as my friend can't seem to find his either.
It really is amazing how hard those 10mm are to keep on hand, I have probably 4 complete metric sets but maybe one 10mm floating around, I buy a couple here & there and they seem to vaporize too, I guess it truly is a "Jeep Thing"

My Son actually snagged a socket while fishing the other day. I knew it was a metric Craftsman as it came up and I would have flipped out if it was 10mm. Still, a 13mm was cool. Some nimrod was using it as a sinker.

13mm is the new 10mm

Love how some metric sets don't include an 18, that's my other go-to w/ the 10.
I think to remove the factory bolts to install a hitch I had to use an 18mm. I bought a decent set that had all metric sockets and ratcheting wrenches for our 4Runner and tossed it in the Jeep when we sold it. I don't guess much is standard/SAE these days.

Totally cleaned my garage this weekend. Got all my tools put back where they should be. Looks great. Got all my sockets put in their holders. Missing a 10mm from three socket sets. Three full sets every socket but the 10mm. WTF!

The aftermarket companies still seem to sprinkle in SAE stuff.

Lots of 18mm in the suspension: shocks, sway links, front UCAs. You could almost do the a full lift kit with an 18 and 21.

My question is - Why did it take so long for a tool company to figure this out and put together a set like this?

You know what they say - A father buys his son his first tool set, but keeps the 10mm for himself - life lessons:)
