Different tools, 480 is 3.8 lb, XXL is 6.1 lb

5/8" = 16 mm :)

I have three sons and a daughter - they do the lawn :) 1/2 acre, Craftsman 42" riding mower.

No guarantee that both ends of a wrench will be at the extreme end of spec. The 1/2" wrench (Canadian Tire Mastercraft) mentioned earlier is good for most 13 mm bolts at the open and the box end, but the 14 mm (german Dowidat) is only good for 9/16" bolts at the box end. Again, a caliper will...

Bring out your caliper, it will tell you. 15/16" ANSI spec (23.98 mm - 24.21 mm) will almost always fit 24 mm bolt heads. 7/8" > 22 mm so it will on average give you a loose feel. 13/16" is a lot smaller than 21 mm, but if your particular tools are at the upper end of spec (20.78 mm - 20.98 mm)...

16mm is M10 and the 18mm is M12.

The tool you don’t need.:)

1/4" and 6mm (M6) fasteners has 7/16" and 10mm head size. When those stubborn M2.5 (head size 5mm) bolts just refuse to budge, you bring out the HEYCO 1/2" 5mm socket - and maybe your 24" breaker bar - they are for real :)

When I need really small 1/4" I use my old Husky 66604 - hard to beat head diameter of only 14.2 mm 0.55 in. 🙂

Bahco glow/spark plug sockets 8, 9, 10, 12, 14mm all 1/4" drive.

1/4” split beam torque wrench - gives a very clear "click" even at lowest setting. :)

15mm nut for $2000 Campagnolo track bike front(only!) wheel. :)

The Belzer, Niki Lauda, Ferrari connection: In color, the Belzer Blue a little to green.

Maybe you already have some of these tools in your tool box? 1/2" (12.7mm) tools are between 12.80 - 12.95mm ANSI. I have found 1/2" sockets and wrenches around 12.94mm and they give you a very tight and snug fit on almost all 13 mm bolts/nuts - the ones < 12.90mm never fit 13mm bolts. I simply...

Don't they make a shallow? Or cut the deep?
