ya, i much prefer my even sizes too :)

thats why im getting rid

I've got a 21mm spanner, used it quite a few times, good old Peugeot.

Most common metric 'small' sizes 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24.

Odd ball size is 21mm. Perhaps it will fit an imperial bolt?

Motor manufacturers like to fuck every one over by fitting the most odd size bolts in the most awkward places, a bit like those funny star head bolts either cap or standard head. What is that all about? The Trabant only had two sizes of nuts and bolts, so you only ever needed two spanners

what size are plugs?

I'm sorry Sprocket but I disagree. Yes those are the standard sizes you expect to find on industrial bolts, but when it comes to automotive applications it is common to find 11mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm and really anything in between depending on how they were feeling that day. I've more than one 21mm spanner and socket and have used them plenty of times.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

just used an 11mm on some colt brakes, seemed common on that day lol

There is nothing I hate more than finding a 12 or 18mm bolt head. I always try the more common sizes either side of them first, them rummage around at the back of the draw to find the little used buggers.

the subframe/body bolts on volvos are 21mm

its the same with allen bolts, (like on vw/bmw brakes etc) they use the sizes not commonly found in sets like 7 and 9mm, probably to get you to get iut serviced at the dealership, more likely just to piss you off!

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

As a general rule of thumb, Japs use 12 and 14 where euro cars use 13 and 15. For the smaller stuff everyone uses 8 and 10. A lot of cars use 7mm allens to hold calipers on. VAGs, Range Rovers and Mercs are the first that spring to mind

I think Gary OS has taken over my role as the forum smart arse

what i do love about volvos is that the nut head will be a 13, and the bolt head a 14mm, so you dont need 2 spanner sets out like with alot of jap motors

christ, i wonder why i dont have a girlfriend lol

plenty of modern cars have 21mm, was all over the place on my 406 and iirc i needed one to strip the front suspension on my audi to do the wheel bearings

Anyhow does anyone want this spanner or not!!!??????
