What wrench fits a M12 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 12 mm
Standard hex 19 mm
Hex flange 17 mm
Recommended clearance hole (medium fit) 13.5 mm
≈ 3/4" (1/2")

Reference values only - always verify against the actual part before machining, tapping or tightening anything.
