[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 960930, member: 176256"] Mmmm, maybe. I have long suspected that it's actually an imperial size (7/16") as so much satellite equipment and telecom technology is based on US specifications. But, as every car mechanic knows, an 11mm spanner is a snug 7/16" so the difference is moot. I have a little tubular spanner which slips over an F-plug which gives extra purchase for finger loosening or tightening.

I've certainly never found a brand new one that size. [/QUOTE]
