What wrench fits a 1/2" bolt?

Across-flats wrench/socket size by head type - a flange bolt often uses a smaller wrench than a standard hex bolt of the same diameter, so always check the head type.

Nominal diameter 0.5"
Standard hex 3/4"
Hex flange not commonly available in this head type
≈ 19 mm (M12)
