metric tool sizes need for hondas/acuras?

[Schugg]

its coming up on almost a year since ive been deprived of working on my hondas and acuras when i joined the airforce. now im trying to get back into it. i dont have any tools so i have to start start kinda fresh. my question is i cant remember all the main sizes i need.

from what i remember im going to need sizes 8-21mm in wrenches, always remember a few sizes in there never being used but rather have them all, and sizes 8-21mm in sockets. just cant remember all of the other larger or smaller sizes i need. i know i need 32mm for stuff like axle nuts, i had one somewhere but it disappeared. anyone know of any other sizes i need outside of my 8-21mm for that stuff? anything from interior hardware sizes, to motor hardware sizes. been long enough to forget the sizes hopefully hasnt been so long i forgot out to work on this ****! i remember having a bucket full of bolts, screws, and nuts and being able to name where or what each one could be used for and what size it was. kinda useless but it was nice back then

yeah, trying to figure out what those other things were, dont know if i should waste money on all the in between sizes, but then again i have some ocd problem where if i have a 8 and a 17 i have to have everything in between. even if i know ill never use them. haha

[Schugg]

8,10,11,12,14,15,17,19,21,32.. thats all i ever use 21mm fits the lugs on my car!

[EmminoDaGreat]

36 for preludes/accords axle nuts. 8,10,12,14,17,19,24,32

[Schugg]

i try to avoid having preludes and accords, so probably wont need that. mainly just civic and integra, but i think i got all the sizes now

What tkes a 15mm on your car? I know my t-bolt clamps take 11mm's, but there is nothing that is stock on my car that takes an 11mm or a 15mm.

ive looked at them and they never have all the stuff or sizes im looking for then i end up with tons of stuff i dont want or need (standard stuff and the real small drive sockets). and im getting the little more expensive wrenches that arent in the sets most of the time. i am getting everything from sears though.

[Barefoot]

get a 3/8 ratch with basic 6 point socket set deep and shallow. 1/2 ratchet with basic 6 point socket set deep and shallow. with those id just get 10, 12, 14, 17, 19. a 13 or 14 mm 12 point deep chrome 1/2 socket arp golden eagle head bolts **** like that. for a basic wrench set. dont need any ratching wrenchs nothing fancy like that sears has ****ty ones anyways. an allen key set and a 10mm allen socket. a feeler gauge. i forgot what size the axle nuts are but a 1/2 socket for that i got a 1 1/2 forget what that is in metric. 1/4 punch for the ***** pin on the linkage. ive done complete swaps right with less than 1/2 this stuff at times.

[Schugg]

ill look for the 6point stuff but i dont remember seeing any of that, so ill check again. i know 6 point stuff helps alot with not stripping **** out, or making rounded bolts worse.
