The common small :bolt heads and nuts are almost always 9mm or I actually meant 'sockets with a hex bit in them', like these https://store.snapon.com/Hex-Standar...t-P630933.aspx since we're tlking about hex wrenches. (I have the sort you're talking about, as well as a collection of wrenches. many sorts.) :What's the difference between the Wera Hex-Plus :and Bondhus ball end? Bondhus is great, bviously. I have no experience with the Wera :range but I have walked by it countless of :times in the accursed hardware store... the hex plus isn't hex shaped. it has the corners cut off (it's more complicated than taht, but that's a first approximation), so that the force is applied away from the cornders of the fastener hex. That's not a bad idea, it's universal in box end wrench designs. I haven't found it to be a problem with hex socket cap screws, though. At least when using the right bit, because there isn't enough clearance for the tool to rotate in the hole. Right I agree. Much like SnapOn Flank Drive except inside out. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
