In fear of my comment,,, a good set of mechanic wrenches, metric, has all the sizes in 1mm increments. The set you buy from say HF or even Sears Cobalt does not.

<div dir="auto" class="">What Barney said. I was recently extremely irritated to find that the only rear wheel brake cylinders I could buy for my 1967 Plymouth had 7mm hexes on the bleeders. Who even has a 7mm wrench? And when I bought a cheap set of small
metric wrenches just for this purpose, the fit was so bad it rounded off the equally cheap hex.
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I tapped out the holes and installed SAE (I think 5/16) bleed screws.<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class=""> Actually it's the other way around. When these things are manufactured overseas, metric hex stock is common while imperial dimension stock is near impossible to source. Result is that replacement parts are often delivered with metric
dimensions, so we are now forced to be adding metric tools to our traveling tool kits.<br class="">

<blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite=""> Perhaps there is, or one can be extrapolated from their listing for different cars, in which they say that all metric-thread SBs are SAE wrench size, because metric stock is more expensive.<br class="">
To continue research, we must go to McMaster-Carr and see if their hex stock costs more in the larger sizes, and how much.
