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?

I have this interesting set, grips hex, rounded-worn hex, external torx, and spline. (got mine at Menards for $20) http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-CX6PT...ent+socket+set
