What is a millimeter?
Definition: A millimeter (symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined in terms of the meter, as 1/1000 of a meter, or the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 000 of a second.
Where is the inch used?
Current use: The inch is mostly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It is also sometimes used in Japan (as well as other countries) in relation to electronic parts, like the size of display screens.
Is the millimeter constant?
The relationship between the meter and the millimeter is constant however. Prior to this definition, the meter was based on the length of a prototype meter bar. In 2019, the meter has been re-defined based on the changes made to the definition of a second.
Sizing Wrenches for Metric Bolts
If you’re looking to find the right wrench for a metric bolt, the conversion is very much the same. Once you’ve identified which metric wrench you would use, look at the chart to locate its SAE counterpart. Now, we do realize that the chart doesn’t look complete on the metric side.
Converting Smaller Wrench Sizes
Didn’t see the spanner size you were looking for? No worries! We have both metric to SAE and SAE to metric conversion charts for hex keys. Be sure to read the instructions as smaller wrenches are more difficult to substitute for one another. Also, smaller pieces of hardware are more prone to getting stripped or damaged.
