Today, one of our operators mentioned he was missing a special fastener. I asked him if

So I start to get a clue, go back to my tool box, grab a 5/16 hex key and notice that that
fits a 12 mm shcs fine.
FWIW, 8mm and 5/16" are close enough to the same that wrenches are
interchangeable for most purposes; likewise 16mm and 5/8".
Also 4mm and 5/32", 11mm and 7/16", 19mm and 3/4".
