82 posts since 2010..... not exactly a frequent flyer.

I've seen single screw and BMX stems with 6mm socket head bolts or screws many times.
several rather crude threadless stems too.
the 7mm threaded ones with 8mm sockets are the odd ones, IMO.. and the occasional SAE thread too. BMX stuff.

the bigger the socket, the more likely the threads are stripped...
