Contents
The term key length is used for the following forms:
Spanner
The key length indicates the "size" of the tool. It is imprinted on the wrenches in mm values. English and American wrenches have inch sizes that are imprinted in intermediate sizes in fractions.
Key width
The key length of the workpiece (for example screws, nuts, clamps) is nominally the same as that on the tool.
Widths on bicycle
In addition to industry standards exist or special thread factory standards, such as the bicycle thread according to DIN 79012, a fastening thread on metric-inch size basis of the designation. Modern bicycle spokes carry the bike thread FG 2.3.
