Wrenches: Standard Combination Wrenches (1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1)

How do you measure wrench size?

To calculate the wrench size needed, you must first measure your bolt. Take the diameter of the bolt, and multiply by 1.5. This calculation and conversion factor is valid for either metric or standard bolt sizes. The resulting number will be the size of the wrench you need to adjust the bolt properly.

What size is 10mm wrench?

Bolt Diameter	Metric	Standard
1/8"	8mm	5/16"
3/16"	10mm	3/8"
1/4"	11mm	7/16"
5/16"	13mm	1/2"

What size is a 14 wrench?

Bolt Diameter	Metric Wrench Size	Standard Wrench Size (SAE)
3/16″	10 mm	3/8″
1/4″	11 mm	7/16″
5/16″	13 mm	1/2″
3/8″	14 mm	9/16″

What do the numbers on a wrench mean?

These multiple standards meant that some wrench openings might be marked with three size indications. For example, a number 23 wrench would be marked "3/16 U.S.S." for the small opening, and "1/4 U.S.S.", "5/16 Hex Cap", and "5/16 S.A.E." on the larger end. Also, the U.S.S. size was sometimes marked as "NUT".

What is metric and SAE?

SAE sockets are sized in inches and fractions of inches. Metric and SAE wrenches have different systems of measurement. Metric sockets and wrenches use the metric measurement system. This is when millimeters are used to describe the size. So you'd get a 20mm wrench in the metric unit of measurement.

What size is a 5'8 nut?

SIZE	Width Across Flats	Width Across Corners
5/8	1.1/16	1.227
3/4	1.1/4	1.443
7/8	1.7/16	1.660
1	1.5/8	1.876

What size is a #10 nut?

Size	Diameter*	Height
Size	Hex Nut	Machine Screw Nut
#10	-	1/8"
#12	-	5/32"
1/4"	7/16"	3/16"

What size bolt uses a 3/4 wrench?

Bolt Diameter	Head and Wrench Size
Bolt Diameter	Hex Bolt - Lag Bolt - Square Bolt	Heavy Hex Bolt
7/16"	5/8"	-
1/2"	3/4"	7/8"
9/16"	13/16"	-

Is 10mm and 3/8 the same?

10mm = just over 3/8 inch. 11mm = almost 7/16 inch.

Can I use a 3/8 instead of 10mm?

So what is a 10mm socket equivalent? The equivalent imperial size of a 10mm socket is a 3/8 socket. Imperial sizes are known as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) or Standard.

What is a 15 mm in standard?

SAE	Metric	Inch
	14mm	0.551
9/16"		0.563
	15mm	0.591
19/32"		0.594

Will a 9/16 fit a 14mm?

But thats no biggie ~ to answer your question, 9/16 SAE is actually 14.3 Metric, but it is the closest SAE size that will fit a 14mm metric head. Hope that helps!

What size is a 15 mm wrench?

Inches	Millimeters	Spanner
0.591	15mm
0.600		5/16 Wworth; 3/8 BSF
0.625		5/8 AF
0.630	16mm	16mm

What size nut takes a 15/16 wrench?

A 15/16″ wrench fits standard 5/8″ hex or square nut or bolt heads.

What does the number 17 mean on a No 17 wrench?

Modern spanner sizes refer to the distance across the flats of the hexagonal nut or bolt they would fit. A 17mm spanner therefore fits a nut 17mm across its flats and this is normally a nut to fit a 10mm diameter bolt (M10).

What size is a standard socket wrench?

Socket sizes are measured based on imperial system inches and fractions. Some of the commonly used SAE sizes are 3/8 in., 5/8 in., and 11/16 in.

What does SAE stand for on tools?

SAE, which stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers, was used as the standard primarily on U.S.-made cars and trucks through the 1970s. SAE sockets are sized in inches and fractions of inches.
