Well, not to bust your chops, but I think you are misreading the kid's
reactions when you ask them for the 10 mm wrench. They may know perfectly
well what a 10 mm box end wrench is, but they are probably giving you a
blank stare because there are no 10 mm nuts to turn on a 62 Sprite. Give
them a little credit.
