I think all tool kits need at least 3 10mm sockets

Every set should go from 10mm to 21mm. You guys should know better. The one time you need that 18mm to do something weird, the stores will be closed and your knuckles will be bloody because you had to use a crescent wrench.

Crescent wrench? if the next size slightly bigger (or smaller if a hammer is involved) SAE wrench won't do the job, it's time for the vice grips or pipe wrench..

2 sets from 6-22mm. Skip 20, though I do have one. 1 24mm combo. Offsets, flares. double-end boxes. Sockets from 6 to 36 + a few odd big ones for the M3.

I finally got to use one of my four 5.5mm sockets!! removed the camshaft position sensor on a Mercury Mountaineer. Always wondered what that one was for.

i believe it also works on the ignition modules in the distributors of a lot of late 80's/early 90's Ford products, too..
