Metric or Standard?

[LeftCoastOverland]

For those of you who are turning wrenches…

My question is: Are all bolt heads on the Grenadier Metric (I’m assuming “yes”)

I just gave away all my standard tools. Hope I don’t have to buy them again.
Thanks!

All metric. You’re good.

Thanks, Krab!

Yep. Metric. But there is a maddening mix of hex head, torx and security torx with no obvious reason why each type was used. A real lottery. I'm reminded of an aircraft type I worked on previously that was a joint French-German collaboration. You could see in the fastener selection where one stopped and the other started. Quite different approaches used.

I was initally surprised by this mix as well... however I suspect the torx may be used especially where semi-robotics /full robotics are used in the assembly and the security torx are an Ineos signal to DIYers "DON'T TOUCH!"
