Tools and Fixit Stuff

[Stephen Birtles]

use a 13mm on a half head you end up with bruised knuckles
12mm is the proer size. It is coincidentally the most im,portant
wrench in the collection
The famous half inch that fits almopst every lawnmower in the world
and whenyou 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
