As A/F (or Across Flat) is a designation for imperial measurements, hence it's impossible to have a 19mm AF (using traditional naming conventions). Of course, it's possible to say it that way, but it just seems wrong This handy link can clear it up for those who don't know what I (or SHP) mean.http://www.baconsdozen.co.uk/tools/conversion%20charts.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 6d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 08/04/14 09:19 AM Share Posted 08/04/14 09:19 AM I didn't say it was imperial, just it is commonly used for imperial. I also said why it is more commonly used for imperial. My first post was to point out that the links were both for 19mm, not 21 as you said.I always use AF when referring to hex size, then I get the right size hex. Not a 16.45 or a 21.94 (for 19mm) if the apprentice is a bit thick. sent from phone via idags4lyf free app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 21mm socket fits, the 19mm does not... coincidence?This poses an interesting conundrum.sort of, they have a double hex drive, both imperial sizes. One is 3/4 which is why the 19mm is a good fit, the other is 13/16 - a 21 mm socket will fit because it is larger than 13/16. A deep 21mm socket will do the job but it is .36mm (0.014") too big and will round off eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deep 21mm socket will do the job but it is .36mm (0.014") too big and will round off eventuallyI'm saying that the 19mm (deep socket, admittedly I never attempted it with a smaller socket) does NOT fit around the key to my wheel nuts. My 21mm deep socket does fit, of course. Quite snugly. Perhaps I got a different key/drive with my purchase.. ?My 20mm socket might fit if I bashed it on with a hammer, but even then, it's unlikely.
