5mm for my hondas.... I've used it so often that I had to take it in for a lifetime guarantee replacement from craftsman since it was so worn out.

+1. A set of metric hex wrenches is small and only costs a few $. It's better to have too many tools than not enough. Although I have a birth defect, which is the need to buy every tool needed for every job.

funny whats it called? i think i may have it as well. **** i almost baught a global obdII scantool and i dont even own an obdII car...

anyway x2 on just buying him a whole set. what you gotta be careful about is the quality.

ive personally got a set of snap-on metric hex 3/8 drive sockets. and they havnt failed on me yet, or stripped anything. if you buy some cheap 2$ set at a gas station or at walmart, odds are they may break, or strip the hex. id say craftsman is a good bet, cause with snap on... its pretty much the most expensive tools you can buy, and i didnt even pick mine out.

I have the disease in chronic form.......if you only knew the amount of tools that I have and what I have.

The only thing I need now is a couple lifts, a tire changer and a balancer and I have an entire shop. *sigh*

my gixxer is a mix of 4, 5, and 6.

honda's are mostly 5mm, though they use bigger sizes for bigger bolts.
