Kind of like that actor / comedian from Full House that died (his name escapes right now)

I remember our young son had a nasty impact on that back of his head one day, we made sure he did not go to sleep that day until we knew everything was safe.

^I ordered this on Amazon. I needed a 10mm to put my new license plate on my BMW X5 and had to use a wrench. How could I not have a 10mm socket?

I am sure you had it..probably misplaced it somewhere in your garage or someone borrowed it.

10 mm sockets are a myth and don't exist in this timeline.

It dawned on me all of a sudden to find out if I could retrieve some information on cars we owned and insured from 1970's. I remember we were insured by Farmers Insurance Group. They were very kind but apparently their record goes back only about 3 years. Farmers Insurance Group representatives were very courteous and understanding. Oh, well, I tried.

For stuff like this, take a look at Sunned tools. Been around a long time. USA managed but made only in Taiwan except for the USA presses. High quality and inexpensive. Not China stuff that is suspect.

I only find 9mm and 11mm when I go searching for them - it is so frustrating as I have no need for either of those two sizes, just 10mm
