Not a lot of people consider this, but an M10 has almost the double strength of an M8, since it is function of the square of the diameter.

Crazy how 2mm can make such a difference.

It is based on the square root of 2 (~1.4142), so the double of a 10 mm circle is a 14 mm circle, not a 20 mm one.

Plato explained this in the Meno dialogue, in 385 BC… and someone still insist that to study philosophy is useless 😄
