Forgot to mention that I really like Channellock pliers.
Awesome fencing pliers.
Their adjustable wrenches are also nice.

Just bought another socket set. (can never have too many tools.)
It came with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19mm.
I cannot think of a time where I encountered a 7, 9, 11, or 16mm bolt. The only time I remember a 13mm was when I bought an aftermarket bolt to replace a factory and it came with an oddball 13mm head, when the original was a 14mm. The only time I've encountered a 15mm bolt was when working on a fluid pump doing HVAC work.
Where are people encountering these oddball sizes to motivate a tool company to offer them in their sets? When working on Jap cars, seems like 90% are 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 and 21.
My set has 2MM,3MM,4MM,4 .5MM ,5MM,5,5MM,6 ,6.5MM,7,8,9,10,11.12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,&30MM sockets.
Its all right to be white!!

23÷32 = .72
.72 x 26.2 = 18.8mm

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I've used 7, 9 & 11 on my older Mercedes. I cannot recall if I've used a 16, but I think I have.

Every 1/2" drive S.A.E. socket set has a 1" socket. There is no S.A.E. nut or bolt in creation that it fits.
But don't toss it. It'll fit some flatted shafts and occasionally the end of a gear puller, or some such...

I work on airplanes, rare to need metric. Plane power alternators use 10mm and 17mm, rare to need any other size.
I keep a 10, 12, 13,14,17 in my box for the cats and such that break down and block the way.
I use 21mm 21½ and 22mm on lug nuts

23÷32 = .72
.72 x 26.2 = 18.8mm 1 inch is 25.4mm, not 26.2 so 18.3mm

11 is almost same size as 7/16”. Inter cooler clamps on Ford 7.3. 12mm 12 point driveshaft bolts 99-06 Ford F-250 and 350. 13 and 15 pretty common on just about anything Ford. My favorite is a 5.5mm. A lot of interior bolts are 5.5. One socket you don’t want to lose. 7mm also interior bolts. As you can tell I mainly work on Fords. My favorite is the late 80s early 90s where they used half standard half metric. That will make you cuss like a sailor. I used to work at the Ford house here in the 80s... All the screws you could access outside the dash bezel were 5.5mm and 7mm metric....... once inside, they were all 1/4" standard...... lol Ford did a bunch of that sort of thing....... 8mm is approximately 5/16 11mm is approximately 7/16 13mm is slightly over a half 14 is slightly under a 9/16 17 is approximately 11/16 19mm is approximately 3/4
