Several women yelling and screaming in extremely aggressive tones, what the hell is going on out there?

Then the penny dropped, women's football team has started training again for the new season. :)
 
You don’t need math for that! All you need to do is buy a set of metric wrenches and they aren’t even that hard to find or to buy here in the US. My dad has about five or six different sets of metric wrenches.
Speaking from experience the need for a weird size wrench/spanner always occurs when no shops are open!

Are the wrench sets on sale in your driveway for less than ten cents?
 
I had an old German mate that told me in Germany a shifting spanner is called an Englander. He said only the Poms could invent a spanner that buggers every nut you use it on and yet no toolkit is complete without one. :)

They are referred to as 'nut ruiner'. Dad's hoarding means we have multiple sets of the four main 'systems': B.A., Metric, AF and Whitworth. The latter we used to annoy people overseas by using it on exported vehicles!
 
In North America, a shifter operates gears, and they can sometimes be fixed using an adjustable or Crescent (tm) wrench. It helps a lot if you tighten the adjuster for each hard pull.
BTW, a small boat magazine did a review of all the "Liquid Wrench" penetrating oils, and found that a 50 - 50 mix of Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone was far better than anything else. It just needs shaking before use.
