Apparently I have a mis-marked 15/16 socket. Bought another one and it is fine. Who woulda thunk.

A long time ago I was involved with building Mini Baja cars for the SAE competition and one of the engineers had to remove/install something and because it was a 3/8" bolt I told him he needed a 9/16" wrench.

He went to the tool box came back over, fiddled around with it and said, "you were wrong, 9/16 was too small it's 1/2"

He looked puzzle when I then asked him which of the two fractions were larger?

And don't worry I didn't just steal it, well not for more than 24 hours, I replaced it the next day with a properly marked wrench. Keep it as a reminder to not automatically believe everything you see when common sense indicates otherwise.
