11mm 1/2" drive sockets ??? Who needs 'em ?

[Gosling1]

fuck me dead, I was looking for a 10mm 1/2" drive socket on the weekend......what could I find ??

farken 11mm 1/2" sockets !! shitloads of them !!

who needs these useless little fuckers ?? Ever used one ?? I didn't think so.

Anybody out there want some free ones ? Bad luck, I threw all the little cunnoxes out tonight, threw them at a car, the bastard didn't stop but his brake lights went on a couple of times !

So check your toolbox and throw these shithead useless little fuckers out. They just take up room and do nothing good.

You know it makes sense.

11mm sockets

only for those who cant count.......

[JetPilot]

Yep I use 11mm on my number plate bolts...go figure.

[Ratmick]

Aren't they a poor man's 7/16" socket?

[Supafrog]

... and now you have thrown them.. you will find some obscure bolt that requires it!

May Murphy be good to you

[Gosling1]

If I need a 7/16th spanner for .....something .... - I'll use a 7/16th spanner, or a 1/4" socket, I think there are a few of these floating about in the 'Imperial' toolbox....

But seriously.....apart from JetPilot who clearly has number-plate bolt envy - WHO uses 11mm bolts ?? Where are they OEM equipment on, well, anything ???

I hate the little bastards. They are about as useful as a can of chain lube in a GTR1000 garage !!!

[Ratmick]

I did say a poor man's 7/16" socket mate.

A poor man may not be able to afford a 7/16" socket...but he may have a 11mm with a bit of slack in it (you only need 0.11mm). After all if some bastard has been throwing them at cars then they're all over the damn road anyway. This poor man may also not have an open hardware store at 11pm Saturday night before a big ride and he needs something to tighten up his numberplate otherwise it's no go.

Personally I'd use a 10mm stainless bolt, or a cable tie.

I a have suspicion of who is behind the 11mm drive socket

[Ratmick]

Yep, I bet she's seen her share of loose nuts in her time...

...I bet Bill has come home with a few.

I reckon Monica is imperial though, and maybe left-hand thread.

Buy an old Husqvarna Gos, then you'll use them

[bishboy]

I actually found a use for my 11mm socket on the weekend, the battery terminals on my crewman, who knew

Mick

That was all a big misunderstanding with Monica
What Bill actually said was "sack my cook Monica"

I think I would rather have a pap smear.

Ford Explorer rear diff inspection cover. 12 off 11mm head m6 bolts
Needed to remove it last week to replace the diff oil - Ford reckon the diff oil is good for the life of the vehicle and so did not bother putting in a drain plug.
Had high expectation of the longevity of the vehicle didn't they.

Ford Exploder - attatch the 11mm socket to the diff housing and throw the whole lot away!
