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.

@MindBlowerWTF

6,5mm fits small hex bits, so if you need such bit in a very tight space - that how it is done. But this is like 1 in 10000 situation.

Goodness. You spoke an absolute on the internet! OK: 6.5mm is a loose 1/4" (something like 6 thou over). 20mm is a loose 25/32" (many antique cars use this size fasteners). 9mm is about a third of an inch and therefore a loose 1BA in Whitworth - perfect for those proper British cars (keep your upper lip stiff).

7:04 i know what you are saying Matt but if you lived in a complete metric world, there are lots of 9mm and 20mm bolts. Especially if you include commercial machinery and electrical stuff, and sometimes LPG stuff too.

9 mm on some 80s Fords, Crown Vic corner lenses, bicycles use them as do many brake bleeder valves, it can substitute for the 8-32 Vex EDR wrench in robotics. 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. I can't remember the last time I used ignition wrenches but they are in my tool box.

Hey Matt, the 9 mm can be ground out a bit to use it as a 3/8". In case you break your 3/8".

Looks like an awesome place to fly a paramotor, such a beautiful view !

Karnage Welder for the win!

I thought I was the only one I have three 9 mm and have never ever used. I'm 55. I'm taking them out of my tools and putting something else in it's place maybe a 10 so I have a extra. That's one that get used. Cool little welder. Nice to see the crew together.

Another great video Matt. I always come away from them feeling better about life which is so refreshing given the propensity of KZreadrs to spin events in a confrontational and often hateful way as a substitute for worthwhile content. Keep up the good work.

I was glad to see the in route footage with the background music. You used to do that more. I like it for the views of the scenery. 👍 And you do good work too 😁.

You can go through any tool set, and the best condition sockets and wrenches which are pretty much guaranteed to not be missing is the 9mm, the 16mm, and the 20mm. You'll buy a metric set, and they will include the 9mm and the 16mm, but omit the 14mm or something stupid like that.

​@@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.

Nice little welder kit. Looks like there's space to toss a few strips of scrap steel in. Since you're now down a sacrificial 9mm.

Rebar works great for tierod repair. Even fixed a ball joint or 2 with rebar. Found that the crome on wrenches and extensions make for a weeker weld. Then again it could have been the guy welding
