Oh, that's a favorite topic, indeed. The JIS metric standard
is different from the DIN metric standard is different from the
ISO metric standard. Choosing the right wrench/socket is the
easy part. Finding the correct replacement fastener is where
it gets hard. (FYI, Wurth sells a JIS assortment, but it is
truly difficult to find some of the DIN metric nuts, much less nylocs.)
