FrankieJames7 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 so when putting my ratchet set in order, i seen a 13/32 socket. it makes one who is not a braindead retarded american faggot wonder, how many bolt sizes are there in murican? if you were to google, it would say there are 10 sizes in a 1/4 drive ratchet set, 5/32 to 1/2, but that is incorrect because it skips 13/32. fucking retarded americans probably own the websites that skip 13/32. so how many sockets should a 1/4 drive ratchet set have with NONE skipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 God, I can’t remember the last time I used an SAE wrench or socket. In fact, I’m going to expand my metric sets soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically only super cheap junky socket sets come with off sized sockets like a 13/32. 13/32 is the same as 10mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 13/32 is a common nut size for ring electrical connectors. Not common for a mechanic set of sockets but insulated but drivers would be more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Ever use calipers which can measure in fractions?, You'll see 1/128, 41/128, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metric has the opposite problem from SAE the bolt head is straight forward but there can be 3 or 4 different thread pitches for every diameter. Plus SAE threads are based off of angle and percentages to make good threads where metric is more about making a number that divides into 10 no matter what the threads end up looking like.

A few years back I helped a high school kid put a clutch in an Audi. That fucking pile of shit had triple square bolts randomly throughout the whole car. The bell housing was held on by 3 normal metric bolts and 3 triple square metric cap screws. I had to chase down the Snap On truck and buy a set of triple square bits to get the job done. Fuck European cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reads sae and metric too. Calipers aren't accurate though, a Micrometer is used for accuracy as you probably know..I was a machinist twice in my life, calipers were only used for rough checking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
