Knowing your english decimal equivilents really can come in handy!! 3/8=.375 10mm=.3937 That's only .0093" per side difference.
Enough to pooch a bolt.
The right tool for the job saves head ache AND heart ache.
Want to have a hate on for your ride? Break a bolt in the worst possible spot.
Then break your extraction tool.
