What size wrench fits on these hex heads? I'd rather not have to get an SAE wrench just for some valve caps.

These are easy to put on and take off with your fingers. No need for tools.

I just used my fingers but they are 3/8". 9mm is too small and 10mm is loose.

Just use your fingers. The shape allows you to give torque enough to unscrew easily or close tightly. If you use a wrench you'll damage the inner packing at the bottom

The 13 might. Since they are hex head bolts a13 will grab a 12, it will just be a little loose. These grab pretty hard, though. If the bolt is really stripped, you might be able to get an 11 on it, which is a size they have in their standard set.

We had to replace our hardware because the bolts were too long when attached. This is what we bought from Lowe's: The Hillman Group 5/16-in-18 x 1-1/2-in Stainless Steel Standard (SAE) Hex Bolt. The originals were about 3/4 " longer and are dark, not stainless. You will also need a lock washer and a nut.

Can't give a specific number. You can probably go as small as you want, but you'll need to use additional shims.

Yes! providing the cap is wide enough. The wrench does not close completely. I am guessing but I would say at least 2.5 inch diameter cap for the wrench to work.

Am not sure. Mine are pretty tight and I wasn't aware an allen wrench was even needed. Sorry. But, if I needed to use an allen wrench, I'd just take my allen wrench tool, which has about 15 different sizes, and try them one by one until one worked. You can buy a tool at any auto parts store for $4-5.

Smallest SAE wrench is 5/16, largest is 3/4 inch. Smallest metric wrench is 8mm and biggest is 18mm. For the sockets the smallest 2 are 5/32 and 4mm, then the largest are 1 inch and 22mm.

No idea, not listed on box or B&D; web site. More relevant for impact wrench.

15/32nds and 12mm seem to fit. One layer of masking tape on install to keep from marring on loose fit wrenches. There are holes to allow use of small Allen key to tighten as well.Green locktite will keep it from rattling loose and still break free if you decide to remove it.

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

The impact wrench sockets included in the set are 19mm and 21mm. You should check for the size required for your car.

As far as I know it's a standard size , and I got the wrench from a big box store. It only fit's the heating element. My research found that all heating elements are the same except for "special" units. Hope this helps.

You can use a flat head screw driver if you don't have the right allen wrench. Just don't over torque them.

Hi Jim.I'm not sure what is "standard hex bits"..., butI have 2 other sets of hex bits (from my old screwdrivers) and all of them has the same size and fits exact to this model too.Roman.

They will fit most standard applications. You may want to try this wrench on all lug nuts before an emergency. Some shops torque them on so tight, its hard to get them off. Strong but thin walled enough to get into tight areas. I found depth of socket to be fine.

Jeannine: You can use either open-ended or closed 1/2" and 9/16" wrenches. These are very common sizes and maybe if you don't have any tools someone will let you borrow them. Good Luck and enjoy!

Use the plastic washers under head of hex head cap screws. Without using washers the screws will "coin in" the aluminum and cause a problem for a sliding adjustment or mounting the indicator on the sliding bar. No need to over tighten the screws as the washers provide a good secure grip.
