I think I may have used a non-metric one.

Pretty much any wrench over 19mm (=3/4 inch) has an inch equivalent that's close enough

a 29mm deep socket is like $20-30 vs, $6 for a regular 29mm

Default It won't require a lot of torque, use anything that fits.

I don't think you are going to have much luck finding a socket dimensioned in sixths of an inch...
