    Side Note:  Years ago there was a sort-of gimmicky product called
    'MetWrench' being hawked on the infomercials.  It promised you could
    use its one set of sockets and wrenches on both SAE and metric nuts;
    in a moment of weakness I bought a set.  Surprisingly, the tools
    were very good quality and for the most part work as
    advertised--they contact the flats of nuts instead of the
    corners--and I can even usually find one that will work on Whitworth
    nuts.  Has saved me similar anguish as this on several occasions (I
    don't think they have a deep socket that large, though).<br>
