Doing some vehicle work yesterday. SAE socket set
won't work, becuae 10 MM is between 3/8 and 7/16.
And 13 MM is between 1/2 and 9/16.

Suppose I buy metric socket set. Will I have the
same problem workign on English size fasteners?

Do I need to wrench sets in each vehicle?

Unless it's a foreign-made vehicle, you'll need both
(US cars are frequently a mixture of both types).

I keep a "dual" socket set in each vehicle and
"select" wrenches (e.g., I almost always use a wrench
to deal with the drain plug for the oil pan so keep
that wrench) in each vehicle.

Thankfully, we have 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" "drive" and not
6mm, 9mm, 12mm "drive" sockets! :
