yes very close. 10mm=3/8 12mm=7/16 13mm=1/2

14mm=9/16 17mm=11/16 19mm=3/4 21=7/8

Convert fraction to decimal...

Multiply by 25.4



11 divide by 16 = 0.6875"

0.6875" x 25.4 = 17.4625mm

If the head is stripped go buy a set of these:

For 17mm you need this set:

depends on the situation. The majority of the time they will. Sometimes more DRASTIC measures are called for:
