wo technicians are discussing an Allen wrench with “8” stamped on the handle. Technician A says the wrench fits metric Allen head screws. Technician B says this Allen wrench will also properly drive a U.S. (English) Allen head screw. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Technician B is correct. An Allen wrench with '8' stamped on the handle can fit both metric and U.S. Allen head screws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician B is correct. An Allen wrench with '8' stamped on the handle can fit both metric Allen head screws and U.S. (English) Allen head screws. The number '8' on the wrench indicates the size or dimension of the wrench, and it corresponds to a certain size of Allen head screw. In this case, the size '8' of the Allen wrench fits both metric and U.S. Allen head screws.
