If you've ever worked on a modern car, you'd know the importance of the 10mm wrench. Maybe they had some Toyota guys consult on the ISS.

- hotpotamus 3y agoHadn't seen that one, but it is a bit of a meme. I'm not joking about working on cars though - my 2001 Toyota Corolla was full of 10mm bolts, and I have on occasion needed to pick one up from the hardware store only to find an empty spot between the 9mm and 11mm sockets.
- jtriangle 3y agoHonda dirtbikes were almost exclusively 10mm, which was handy, because you can carry a very limited set of tools/parts and fix basically everything aside from running out of gas.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoI love 10mm wrenches so much I bought a Japanese motorcycle :P I do so much better with whole numbers than fractions.
- Smoosh 3y agoAs well as the 10mm wrench, you may find it useful to have a 1cm spanner.
- Phrenzy 3y agoOr a metric Crescent wrench.
- shaftway 3y agoI know this is really tangential, but one of my favorite lines from cartoons as a kid was from an episode of Pinky and the Brain and it included this kind of wordplay. Their plan included forming a grunge band, which they called "Frog the Dry Widget" (a play on Toad the Wet Sproket).
