What size wrench is used for an M8 hex bolt?
1 Answers
An M8 bolt uses a 14-size open-end wrench. For hex bolts, it is more accurate to match the open-end wrench size with the corresponding hex nut, as there are both standard hex head bolts and small hex head bolts. Below is relevant information: Open-end wrench sizes: Common open-end wrench sizes are 7, 8, 10, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 30, 32, 36, 41, 46, 55, and 65; these correspond to thread sizes M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M36, and M42. Additional information: Metric thread diameters are measured in millimeters, such as 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20 mm, etc. The thread pitch is also measured in millimeters, such as 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.
