Side Note:  Years ago there was a sort-of gimmicky product called 
'MetWrench' being hawked on the infomercials.  It promised you could use 
its one set of sockets and wrenches on both SAE and metric nuts; in a 
moment of weakness I bought a set.  Surprisingly, the tools were very 
good quality and for the most part work as advertised--they contact the 
flats of nuts instead of the corners--and I can even usually find one 
that will work on Whitworth nuts.  Has saved me similar anguish as this 
on several occasions (I don't think they have a deep socket that large, 
though).
