Does anyone have a chart?

[Tsquare]

I am wondering if anyone has posted a well organized conversion table for socket/wrench sizes from inch to metric or metric to inch.

I am looking for a table I can keep handy to tell me what the closest size inch socket to a metric socket or vis-a-vis? For those times I just don't have the correct size one available.

None fit exactly. 14mm and 9/16ths are the closest I can find. 16mm is a little sloppy on 5/8ths. 11mm will do a 7/16ths. Better to use 6 pt. sockets because 12 pt. will round off a tight bolt. And 1/2 <> 13mm seem to work OK.

19 and 3/4 is pretty damn close

There are millions on the web. Just search inch to metric conversion chart and print one off.

7/16" = 11mm
3/4" = 19mm
7/8" = 22mm

Snap On used to dual stamp 3/4" and 7/8" sockets in the corresponding metric size.

These are the only ones you can practically get away with. Everything else under 1" need to have the right socket used to not round it off. For larger than 1", it is just how the fit feels, usually the large sockets have enough grab it isn't an issue to use a SAE socket on a metric fastener.

This website has a list that also includes Whitworth, BSF, and BA, in addition to AF and mm.

Forget the chart. Get the right wrenches and sockets.

I printed the chart because sometimes trying to choose between metric and english measure I look for the size with the least slack.

That didn't take long - thanks all - GJ crew is the best - we definitely have the wrong people in Washington

PM received and that Bonney chart will go out tomorrow!

In the real world, I have almost always been able to use a 1/2" wrench on a 13mm fastener. The metric dimension is only twelve thousands of an inch larger than the inch, or the thickness of a human hair. Most wrenches are sized a little loose to make it easier to get them on the fastener, so the inch wrench fits snugly, but still slips on and off well enough.

butchers

buy the correct wrench

Received this Bonney Metric Conversion Chart from Bonneyman. This is the chart I will be laminating and placing in my tool chest - Thanks for mailing me the chart Bonneyman

Or use HF vice grips.

I made these a few years ago for myself. They are full size 8-1/2 x 11. I took one and shrunk it down and got it stuck inside my lid so it's always in site. I even had other techs take pictures of it for themselves to use. You can print these out or download the file and shrink it. The one on my tool box is about like an index card size.

I also have a laminator here so of course mine are laminated.

If you have an inch/metric ruler the sockets that are close should be obvious.
