All is well providing the tool is made so that it's flanks like up as they should with bolt head. I've put a cheap wrencho on a bolt before and it's had so much play, I keep checking to make srue I didn't grab a SAE by mistake when I wanted metric. oh yeah, and it was the right size. hee hee. That's a wrench you put aside for when you're working on one of those cars with both standards, and you can't figure out what the bolt is. With a wrench like that, and a little penetrating oil, atleast a couple of flanks are bound to grab somewhere on the bolt. hee hee.
