What does 14mm mean for a watch band?
Width is the distance between the lugs, where the strap meets the watch. To determine your width, you can take a ruler or caliper, and measure the width of the part of the strap that uses spring bars / screws to attach to your watch case. Measure this in millimeters.Width is expressed, for example like this: 24/22 (24mm wide by 22mm wide).

What is the size of a 33mm socket?
A 33mm metric socket is 1.29921 inches in size which most closely matches a 1 5/16 standard size socket. A 1 5/16 standard size socket is 33.34mm which is a little bit bigger than a 33mm socket but it is the standard size socket that best fits over a 33mm bolt.
What is the difference between standard sockets and metric sockets?
Standard sockets are measured in inches while metric sockets are measured in milimeters (mm). Depending on the region you live in, one measurement system will be more common than the other. This can become frustrating because different manufacturers also embrace different measurement systems.
What is a 36 mm in standard size?
A 36mm socket is 1 7/16" in standard (SAE) size, almost. 1 7/16" converts into so a 1 7/16 socket is the standard socket that best fits a 36mm fastener.
Do metric sockets match standard sockets?
Some metric sockets, like the 32mm socket, do match exactly with a standard sized socket so you see why switching between the two systems can be frustrating. Some fit, some don't, and remembering what fits what can be difficult. Tip: Keep your sockets neatly organized from smallest to largest so that you can quickly test fit alternate sizes.
Why is a 6 point socket better than a 12 point socket?
It is thought a six-point socket will be more durable than a 12-point because its inner walls are set against all six sides of the hardware.
What is a 12 point socket?
A 12-point socket is convenient and easy to use. You can slip it over the hardware in any one of 12 positions, which makes it easier to align.
What is the drive on a socket wrench?
The drive on your socket wrench is the square section sitting on the ratchet. Certain sizes accept a varying number of sockets that can be either metric and SAE.
What are some examples of impact sockets?
Impact sockets are made in such a way they work with these other tools. A prime example is an electric or pneumatic impact wrench. If you use these, you will need a socket sets built to withstand these higher torques.
What size drive is used for low torque?
1/4” Drives: You find these used for low-torque work and are usually for smaller sized sockets possibly up to around 14mm as a maximum.
Can you use the conversion chart to check your socket size?
You can quickly use the conversion chart to check your metric socket size against your SAE socket size and vice versa.
Can you use different sizes of sockets?
While you have a large number of metric and SAE standard socket size, you can have differing wrenches to use these.
