Is imperial the same as SAE?

SAE (Society of Automotove Engineers) tool and fastener measurements are imperial, and are referred to as SAE to differentiate those sizes from nominally metric sizes.

Does a 12-point socket have more grip than a 6 point socket?

On a non-ratcheting wrench, 12-point box ends benefit from having more positions for engaging the fastener. This can be helpful, especially in situations with limited access. However, the tool is more likely to slip or fail when used on a 6-point fastener, especially if you apply a lot of force.

Are metric and SAE threads the same?

Metric and SAE fasteners are measured differently and with different vocabulary. SAE nuts, bolts and screws are measured by their thread count, or TPI (threads per inch) and their length. Metric fasteners are measured by length and pitch, or the distance between threads.

How do I know if my threads are standard or metric?

Metric threads are measured by their pitch. That is the distance from the crest of one thread to the crest of the next measured in millimetres. The pitch of a metric thread can be checked by direct measurement with a metric rule. Imperial threads have their pitch measured indirectly as a given number of teeth per inch.

How do you know if a nut is metric or regular?

If the nut is metric, count the number of lines on the tape measure to find the measurement. If you count 9 lines, the size is a 9-mm (millimeter) nut. If the nut is US standard, count the smallest lines on the tape measure in sixteenths. Add the sixteenths together to find the size.
