I use a 7/32 socket when I do interior screws such as those that hold on the heater core cover. I didn't even think of them being metric until later. I do have a 5.5mm someplace. I bought it for something specific, but I don't remember what.
5.5 mm is for the blower motor bolts, I've heard some underhood stuff on TBI trucks.

Whomever came up with 5.5mm headed bolts to hold on a front bumper as a weak-sauce attempt to keep owners from maintaining their own plastic headlight lenses needs to be made an example of. A 7/32 socket (which is weirdly a thing I have) fits perfectly.

I'm kinda thinking that about five minutes after I get to heaven there's going to be a counseling session where I'm told that I'm not allowed to junk-punch all the engineers who pissed me off in life. I'll have to move fast and get as many as I can.

Seems like an overly extravagant alternative to just buying a 5.5mm socket. I have them in most every toolbox of mine. Besides, there are far more egregious reasons to smack engineers in the junk.

My 7/32 socket came in a set. My metric tiny-socket set did not include a 5.5mm.

Like I said, I'll have to work fast. It's like Pokeman, "Gotta catch them all!"
