I had no 16 mm sockets or open ends at all for many years of working on Porsches. Then I had to replace the high pressure power steering hose on my El Camino. It is a typical hose fitting, and I had to track down a Snap On truck to find a 16mm Crowfoot, line wrench. There is no other way to get to the fitting in the restricted area. The made it easy to get to the old line off, and the new one back on. I have not needed it since, but I keep that expensive tool in a safe place in the tool drawer.
The El Camino was built in the era when GM was changing to metric. Most of the car is metric, but the engine and all accessories are SAE.
