Wrenches

[fleming442]

I didn't want to muddy up JAMCAR's thread anymore, so I'm starting this one. Bracketchev posted about some "universal" set he got at work:

We have wrenches at work now that come stamped with both numbers on them. 13 mm wrench says, 13, 1/2, E16

WTH is an E16?! I Googled "European wrench sizes", and everything says Metric.

However, I did run across some really neat (and expensive) wrench sets:

I just looked at the box end of the wrench closely. It has 6 sharp points and 6 rounded points in the 12 point star. E16 is an external TORX size!!!!!

E16 is an external TORX size!!!!!

Ran into what appeared to be external Torx on the airdam of a '10 F150 last week. A 10mm fit right on it.
