Also, 3/4 equals 19mm. Not a lot of call for 19mm in bike repair,
but it does exist.

We have found that 19/32 american wrenches work great as 15mm
wrenches. We bought 50 at a pawn shop for $5.Used 30 to teach a whole 4th grade class how to remove and add
pedals to crank arms.19/32 equals 15.08mm to be more exact. The inferior metal ones will spread a little after awhile, so higher quality is the way to go.
If both ends are open ended, we bend a short spoke and tape it to
one end for hanging on our tool board. We paint all tools to keep them
around and for easy put back onto the 8 different colored boards.Also, we cover the 19/32 part with masking tape, write 15mm on it,
then cover that part with clear packing tape- lasts several months before a spruce up is needed.-- Bob Giordano Free Cycles Missoula. hotline: 406.541.7284 Missoula Institute for Sustainable Transportation www.strans.org, mist@strans.org, 406.880.6834
