Nut is 12mm
Bolt is 13mm

Why do they do this?

>>28469984 (OP)
anything with 11, 13, 15 or 16 mm is because of retarded Germans and their DIN/ISO bullshit
the only valid hex sizes are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 27, 30, 32 and probably a few bigger ones too but i haven't used anything bigger than 32

Probably some eurotrash engineering math shit

>>28469996
>imperial
come on now bro

>>28470002
I SURE HOPE YOU GUYS DONT DO THAT HAHAHA

>>28469984 (OP)
So you can use wrenches of different sizes to hold one and turn the other, I thought this was pretty obvious. most people only have one wrench of each size.

So you can counter hold it with a single wrench set

unfathomly based

>Why do they do this?
You only need one set of wrenches instead of two sets of wrenches?

It's not a bright idea, that's for sure. Just make it 10mm wherever possible.

FUCK euro cars

>>28470005
This.
It's really just that simple.

1/2 inch. Every nut and bolt. Or so the bongs say.

>>28469996
I don't own a single sae tool, they're useless.

>>28469996
OP is retarded and so are you.

>>28470011
based wrench king

the jews wont let us have this

*turn*

>>28470011
yeah just bend the 12-13 wrench around

>>28470005
>most people only have one wrench of each size
How do you work on stuff for any length of time and not acquire several sets of wrenches? I need my extra long, stubby, combo, ratcheting, ratcheting with a reverse setting (because I bought the one-way style at first), flare nut, big, tiny, and cheap wrenches that I can bend.

>>28470005
I get your reasoning but even hobbyists have a socket set and a box wrench set…

I run into situations where a socket just won't fit constantly. Recently I was taking a gooseneck hitch mount off the bed of a truck I bought and the bolts on the brackets that wrap around the frame had to be removed completely with wrenches because nothing else would fit.

Chapter 8 of Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design is a lovely read, something you can read on the beach with some tequila.

Should be second result on google, I don't follow pdf links.

12 and 14 head sizes are only used by retarded japs and commies.

>>28471947
"japs and commies" produce the only equipment and cars worth using lol

>>28472032
Let's see your GAZ then

>>28472052
A fascist police state that calls itself commie to appease the people isn't commie. What does the Z/S in nazi stand for again?

>>28472052
GAZ the jews
I thought by commies you were talking about China

>>28472056
>>28472058
Okay so rerarded japs, commies and fascists use 12 and 14mm.
Still not looking too good for 12 and 14 fags

>>28472064
8,10,12, 14
17 for lugnuts and oil drain.
21/22 for main crank bolt.
Shrimple as that. I don't see the issue. I've you've ever done engineering or CAD you'll understand how fucking retarded imperial is.

>>28472070
if you've ever tried to work on a brig and stratton push mower you'll understand how retarded Americans are in general
>muh "made in the USA"
Proceeds to use 5 different sizes of imperial bolt head
Proceeds to use tiny little 8mm (or whatever) self tapping screws into rusty sheet metal
Proceeds to use one-piece plastic carburetors
