Hi... the online toolshop I go to offers 2 sets of hex keys in both Metric and Imperial versions.

First set being imperial: Chrome vanadium. Sizes: 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 5/16" & 3/8"

Second set being metric: Chrome vanadium. Sizes: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8 & 10mm

Sorry if it sounds stupid but measurement stuff was never my strong point.... bombarded by different systems I turned off from it all.

I want to have Hex keys to fit stuff I might need to work with. Would the sizes between imperial and metric be the same or slightly different please. I'd buy both sets if have to.... but ofc if they are the same I'd prefer not to waste money.

Thanks.

Why is it when people come into an autoparts store and are greeted they put their head down instead of responding? Also why when people call on the phone do they ask if I can look up a part for them? That is what I am there to do. That is why I am getting paid.

I have a 1993 GMC Sonoma pickup. I just got it out of the shop yesterday. It was running fine. I was installing a new CD player today. I disconnected the negative battery cable so I would not have a short. Now my truck is not running so good. My neighbor told me that I had a skip in the engine. Does the computer have to reset itself. What could have happened to cause the skip. How can I fix it?

What could cause the A/T on a 2005 Kia spectra (less than 37,000 miles) slip? ..or to have really rough,harsh shifts when downshifting AND upshifting?? This car still has not been in my stable for very long (Still has the temporay tag in window) and was purchased used....

The problem is not consistent..but happens often...did I get a bum steer?? Dealer ship is going to look at it Monday...Any thoughts or comments before then would be appreciated....

Truck stopped while driving and will not start. Fuel pump is good, as well as control module. Replaced cap and rotor too. It has no spark any suggestions?

For example, if people are saying you should ask your Ford dealer to check your VIN to see if it qualifies for a free fuel pump replacement or whatever, can you use Carfax or equivalent to find out the same information? Or can you only get that information via a dealer?

Today I noticed that a significant amount of engine coolant is missing from the tank which means there's probably a leak somewhere. I have quite the busy schedule and loosing my car for more than a day is just not an option.

I don't know too much about engine coolant but it seems to me that water should be fine during the summer just not winter because it can freeze. Is this correct?

Also, any ideas off the top of your head where this leak might me comming from?

My 1988 camaro was making weird clicking noises while I drove, took it to the mechanic and he said I need thicker oil for it to run right. Does that sound right? And how can I tell if the oil is thicker?
