Tools and Fixit Stuff

[Stephen Birtles]

use a 13mm on a half inch head you end up with bruised knuckles
12mm is the proper size. It is coincidentally the most important
wrench in the collection
The famous half inch that fits almost every lawnmower in the world and
when you lose it just use the equally famous 12mm wrench luckily most
modern tools sets sold today come with one of each
So you can misplace twice as many tools
