Thought I'd nip out and change the spark plugs on the car. So I measured the new plugs: 14mm. Then look for my wrench: 21mm. D'oh!

Oh well, I have a spark-plug socket somewhere. Find it, and success! It says '14mm' on the side. 'Halfords Advanced 14mm CR-V' to be exact. Thing is; it might [i]say[/i] 14mm, but it clearly isn't. It's 21mm! As in the actual hole in the socket that sits over the bolt/spark plug.

What's going on here, am I missing something obvious?
