Yes sir - well what is the world coming to?
I dutifully went and bought sae stuff tonight after work.
Funny thing is 5/32 (aka 3.97mm)is just a bit too loose and 3/16 (aka
4.76mm)is definitely too big.
According to a metric convertor, 4mm falls just between those two sae
sizes.
Think I'll go pick up a 4mm tomm. just to try it.
Thanks

Considering how close 5/32 is to 4mm I would have thought it would have fit.
For instance, I find that a 3/4" socket works just fine for 19mm bolts and
nuts commonly used on foreign car wheel lugs.
Perhaps the error has to be on the loose side for smaller fasteners. IOW,
the 4mm socket will work on a 5/32 bolt but not the other way around?
