Yankies call a bolt that fits a 13 mm socket a 13 mm bolt... A 8mm bolt with hex head takes a 13 mm wrench or socket. No one calls a 1/2" bolt (1/2" diameter threads) a 3/4" bolt. Why only be stupid when it comes to metric sizes. - Upgoat

I was referring to the metric system.; Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord and the Conférence générale des poids et mesures to be (over) specific :)
