I have a great socket set that my dad bought me when I left for college. Set has 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" drive ratchets. Has 6pt and 12pt sockets. Has regular sockets and deep sockets. Has standard and metric in 6pt and 12pt in regular and deep. A FULL SET. 31 years I've had that set of Craftsman sockets and the ONLY things missing out of it are every single 10mm in the set. I had to borrow one from my neighbor just to change my batteries out.

Back when Craftsman sockets were good……. those were the days!!
To bring the discussion back around……. many moons ago I was swapping the cylinder head out on a 3 cylinder Geo Metro. The head bolts used a 12 point 10mm socket! I split 2 Craftsman 10mm sockets trying to torque the head bolts. Out of frustration I grabbed a 10mm socket from a cheap Wally World set, and proceeded to torque all of the head bolts!

Everyone uses those **** 10mms - Auto, Diesel, Farm, and Construction. I swear all you need in sockets is a 10mm, 8mm, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, and 3/4 for your everyday work. But those 10mms are special because they have invisibility switches.
It's part of why I'm OCD about my tools and have a zero tolerance policy of anyone getting in my tool boxes. I have a hard enough time with my ADD. I don't need someone else making things worse.
