[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1846525, member: 18945"] It didn't tell anything that isn't already known. [LIST] [*]Variety - includes flat, pin, standard and slotted square, 12mm square, 3/8in square, and hex heads" [/LIST] There's a lot of difference between 12mm and 3/8". 12mm=.472". 3/8=.375 11mm=.433 which is the same as 7/16" 10m=.393, just over 3/8" 9mm=just under 3/8"=.354" There's a huge difference when talking about the correct size for a hex bolt head and a square head. A 13mm metric socket might grab ok on a 1/2" hex bolt head but would not grab on square head due to the absence of the 2 extra 'points.' It's why/what they make and sell those odd looking 8 point sockets for... square head bolts and nuts, usually for sq head lag bolts.. (the od of those sockets is too large to fit down thru the guide tube behind my bumper) [ATTACH type="full" alt="8pt.jpg"]42643[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
