What wrench fits a M16 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 16 mm
Standard hex 24 mm
Hex flange 22 mm
Recommended clearance hole (medium fit) 17.5 mm
≈ 15/16" (5/8")

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