No, it is not a long lost 10mm socket, but something far cooler.

I've been re-wiring my electric fuel pump, which sits on the passenger side on that little shelf, on a pan-based car, that is just forward of the passenger foot well.  If you remove the right front wheel and look in, it looks like this (mine looks a little busy because I have two fuel pumps - One for the engine and one for the gas heater):

When I finished messing around in there I thought that I could clean up that shelf area by vacuuming out the road debris that accumulates there, so I got in there with the shop vac and as I looked down, I saw this sitting on the far side of the shelf, up against the central tunnel:

See?  MUCH better than finding a 10mm socket!

Excellent Gordon! I recently found my favorite Klein 10” “cabinet tip” screwdriver after 2 years. Forever, I kept it in the door pocket of my Spyder for adjusting my Dells on a hot engine.
I guess at some point I put it in the little tool bag I take out to where I keep my 968 for dealing with the battery and it’s been “lost” in the bottom of that bag for a while.
