"Bring the 13-14 key" is a basic mechanic's joke.

Note: in mm.

I don't get it?

Fixed keys are 12-13 and 14-15. 13-14 doesn't exist.

The 13-14 is really only used when you're changing the headlight fluid, for some reason.

Funnily enough the lock for the elbow grease in the closet is also 13-14

[–] figjam@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you.

Is that an Allan key? I've never seen them marked anything other than a single number, in SAE or metric.

[–] Jayve@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe it's an open ended wrench, one end is 12mm the other is 13mm.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Odd; I've never seen multiple sizes on one wrench, nor seen them called 'keys'

Never really see those around here anymore. I have a few in old tractors, but most of them have been lost by now and replaced with box end wrenches of single sizes.

[–] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ah, thanks. Never heard a double ended wrench called a key before.

[–] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

My bad. In Spanish we call them "llaves" and I translated it without thinking.

From German the direct translation to English is screw key.
