Are the nuts/bolts on my '77B English or Metric thread? When I'm working I grab whatever wrench fits best (or first), but I'd like to know. The front; /html/mgs/2002-10/msg00738.html (7,765 bytes)
2. RE: SAE or metric (score: 1): Author: Chuck Renner <crenner@dynalivery.com>; Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 15:02:10 -0500; Most everything is SAE. Most of the heads are 1/2", with some 7/16" and some 9/16".

Rich had both metric and SAE, and the metric went on, no SAE would work. Maybe it was BSF and it came out to be the same as; /html/mgs/2002-10/msg00749.html (8,993 bytes)
9. Re: SAE or metric (score: 1): Author: "Paul T. Root" <proot@horton.iaces.com>; Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 17:52:00 -0500; 10-32 sounds familar, it was nearly a month ago, so the mind didn't keep it.
