There is one thing about odd metric size wrenches you might not know in US. Like spaghetti are growing on trees in northern italy and get harvested, we got tool trees that produce all kinds of metric wrenches in continental europe. A lot of those go into export. So, what we do is: we keep the useful sizes like 10mm and put stuff like 9mm, 6,5mm and stuff like that up for shipping abroad because for us that is as close to metric system as we can get.

When we got to a part of the field where the furrows were deep, almost right away the steering wheel just rotated wildly, that's the reason he was snickering.

Some battery hold downs also need a 9 mm. They probably should be 10 but only the 9 fits. I believe my son's old Honda motorcycle has some 9 mm bolts. Just because cars and trucks don't use them isn't enough reason to eliminate them as there are a lot of other industries out there that use them including those from other countries. A 19 mm lug nut with those dumb caps that expand with rust take a 20 mm socket well. I have a 33 mm and a 36 mm socket that aren't used every day but every once in a while they are.

​@@riaanlouw1874yeah, you just connect the ground onto what you are welding. If you put it on the frame of the vehicle and then go to weld something that is not the frame for example, you run the risk of having the electricity take unwanted paths to make it to the part you are welding, and that will cause issues with or without the battery connected.

@@gingergann3934 you are welcome.

I agree on the 9mm and I would have said the same about an 11mm until last week. I was working on my 1987 John Deere 318 garden tractor and I got to use the 11mm on the engine. I don't remember exactly which fastener was 11mm but the 10 was too small and the 12 was too big so I pulled the lonely 11mm socket out of the drawer and probably used it for the first time.

[@rays3288]

As a mechanic, I use 20mm a lot. Agree about the 9mm. Never seen the 6.5, but occasionally use the 5.5mm. Engineers are responsible for all the confusion 😅

[@CarswithNash]

Mercedes uses 9mm, 90's GM trucks used 6.5 on the bumper fillers and Ford used 5.5, Not sure if they still do the newest I have noticed it was a 2003 Taurus, it started in the 80's I know.

I have a set of metric no name spanners in a drawer next to me that goes from 4mm to 11mm including some half sizes. I don't know where it came from or what it's for, but I'm keeping it just in case ! I suppose they must have made metric magnetos ?

[@MrCaprinut]

3mm nuts is 5.5mm. Used a lot on rc cars. So is the 7mm which is M4 nut.

[@justme-ql2zs]

Not out the 9 mm and make it into a 10 mm. This will allow a smaller wrench to fit in a small place when you really need a 10 mm wrench.

I am pleased to hear Tom doesn't have lice

[@mattrooyakkers5871]

You guys make a great pair for KZbin. Sorry to see tom Tom go but I’m happy he’s doing his thing as well. Very cool

[@l4zyturtle479]

Just great videos on this channel. Every. Time. Thank you!

[@DeadEyeDave]

I used a 9mm wrench yesterday. It was the only size that matched the stem nut on a hose bib. I needed to take it apart to clean and lube it. No inch size would work, even though it is an American made faucet.

[@jeffomalley100]

Trucks good to go. Just needs an alignment lol.

[@summitlt]

Working on vehicles for a living, the 20mm fits Chevy truck fuel filters. The 9mm is commonly used to fill the 9mm spot in the wrench rack and nothing else.

Tom's welding mask is still set to Eclipse mode 😂

[@forsakenwarlord5752]

Maybe in the recovery profession or automotive profession. But as I transitioned into industrial maintenance, I've found a lot of the machines are foreign and you'll definitely make use of most all of your metric wrenches. Working on packaging machines from Italy, France and Germany

[@rrp1127]

i have a 5.5 mm wrench from some German made equipment i supported 40 years ago. I will guard it with my life because SOMEDAY i will find a use for it.

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

Love it when they get surprised by their own wrecker

[@stacyward581]

9mm fits the EVAP return box on my 99 Cherokee. I can't remember what all the 6.5 fits ,but I need it often enough that I welded it to a 3/8 adapter. I think it fits the radiator support, my hose clamps. I hate the squeeze clamps or using a screwdriver. I think the six and a half fits the metal plate screws under your steering wheel too.

[@infinitydreamzz]

Matt you ahould try to keep Tom Tom. And you Tom Tom should change your mind and stay with Matt. What makes a character on a reality show like M.O.R.R. successful is the synergy and chemistry with the rest of the characters in that show and going your own way rarely works because that synergy is not there anymore. Not everyone is meant to be reality TV star on their own show and that's not a bad thing to say about someone, same as it's not a bad thing to say that not everyone is meant to be a star celebrity or a Hollywood superstar. Tom is really good within the M.O.R.R. show , and your own personal channel will make more sense in that context and benefit from your continuing association with M.O.R.R. I may be proven wrong, but that's how I see things for now.

Like Tom with out Jerry . Starsky with out Hutch. Abbott without Costello "who is on first"
