I know what you mean... I've got three bikes, two pure metric, and the
Sportster that sneaks a little metric in to keep you guessing. I've got
a lot of tool redundancy. The Harley set is mostly old Craftsman with a
10mm combo. The metrics are a mixed bag. The big ones for the axle nuts
are Craftsman. Even with the redundancy half the time I'm wandering
asking myself where the hell the 10mm Allen key is.

My last major roadside repair was pulling the rear wheel on the DR to
patch the tube. 4th of July and hotter than hell. I'm getting too old
for that ****.
