Boy, I wish it had a ¾ inch drive impact 10mm. Otherwise, it's a pretty inclusive set.

I gave a set of various 10mm sockets from Gearwrench to our mechanic for Christmas last year. He opened it up and looked like a kid on Christmas morning. "You've seen the memes!"

Totally worth it.

I do know where one of my 10mm sockets ended up...INSIDE the frame rail of my '96 Grand Cherokee Laredo (I-6)...I was putting in a 3" lift at the time, and the socket slipped off the drive as I was pulling it out from an opening in the frame that had a bolt that needed to be removed...it rattled around in there until I donated the GC to charity at around 240K miles.

I picked one of those up a couple years ago as "in case of emergency" joke.

I'm not ashamed to say I had to open it recently.

I do not think I have lost a tool on my own. Plenty have gotten legs and walk though through others getting into my stuff.

Closest I ever came was working on an aircraft and my 6" machinist ruler came up missing. Whole crew had to stop and we spent hours looking for it and was pretty close to having to make the call that the area I was working in would have to get x-ray at a substantial cost until I looked over to the tech pub I was using and there it was being used as a book marker just like I left it.

Then there was the old mechanic who was finally able to retire after paying off Snap-on Tools for his 10mm socket 🤔 🤔 🤔 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I found a 10mm ratchet wrench in a parking lot not long ago. It was all alone, just abandoned there. I knew right away someone was sorely and angrily missing it and figured maybe it was bad luck like finding a tails up penny.

I came to my senses and picked that bitch up. I will certainly need a spare 10mm for something someday.

Bless you man, bless you. The Harbor Freight Gods have been listening to our pleas for help and have responded.

This will save me from waiting for the socket fairy to replace a tooth I had pulled and put under my pillow waiting for a shiny new 10mm socket.

Nothing like leaving a few extra bolts in the cowling when a co-worker is replacing a fuel control. Good test to see if he is a good mechanic. Either he double checks his work and looks around to see where the extra hardware came from or dumps the extra hardware in the trash. You get to know who to trust that way.

I lost a few tools over the years. Mostly to other mechanics. We sort of had an unspoken rule, only one tool box at the work site. Sometimes that wasn't possible because the guy you were working with had an incomplete tool set.
