Binford Sells New 10mm-Less Tool Kit: 'You'll Never Lose It Because You Never Got It!'
February 27, 2024

"Just round it out with an 11mm and hammer a 9mm on there..."

DETROIT—Binford Tools, a staple in the world of DIY enthusiasts, has caused quite a stir with its latest release: a tool kit intentionally devoid of the infamous 10mm socket. Dubbed the "10mm-Less Tool Kit," this unconventional offering has left many nodding in reluctant agreement.

One bewildered consumer succinctly expressed their reaction: "WTF?" Indeed, the omission of the ubiquitous 10mm socket has raised eyebrows and prompted questions about the practicality of such a move. For decades, the elusive 10mm socket has been both a blessing and a curse for mechanics and hobbyists alike, notorious for mysteriously disappearing when needed most.

However, Binford Tools remains undeterred in its quest to challenge conventional wisdom. A representative for the company defended the decision, stating, "Why even use a 10mm? Just round it out with an 11mm and hammer a 9mm on there and avoid the trouble of owning a 10mm." This pragmatic approach to tool selection reflects Binford's commitment to innovation and efficiency.

While the absence of the 10mm socket may initially seem perplexing, Binford Tools' unconventional approach has garnered attention for its boldness and ingenuity. By encouraging users to adapt and improvise with alternative socket sizes, the company aims to streamline the tool selection process and minimize the frustration associated with missing or misplaced sockets.

The 10mm-Less Tool Kit has sparked a conversation about the role of tradition and innovation in the world of tool design. Whether it's met with skepticism or embraced as a stroke of genius, one can't deny that Binford Tools has once again challenged the status quo in pursuit of practical solutions for DIY enthusiasts everywhere.
