Broke a damn 12mm Gear Wrench the other night trying to get a driveshaft bolt out of a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. I had a jack handle on it for leverage, the ratcheting part broke and the actual wrench itself bent. 
Lowes will warranty them? Hmmmm, I also have a broken 19mm.

Most the metric sizes for GM are: 5.5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, and 34. There are a few U.S. sizes.

Maybe it's something on our cars that is 7/16". Who knows, but I wish I had bought the 11 peice metric set that had 8-19mm sizes.

most metric sets in any brand (Husky, Gear Wrench, Craftsmen, etc) do not include an 11mm socket or wrench... sort of pissed me off

I've got a set of craftsman SAE and a set of Duralast from Auto Zone and I prefer the Duralast. They were on sale for like 10 bucks so I couldn't resist and I love them. If you break one take it back to any Auto Zone and they'll hand you a new one.

Thats because they want you to buy the standard set as well. Oldest trick in the book. 7/16 = 11mm.
