I believe the difference is inside vs outside diameter. Wait, that's not
worded right. It's meant that Hex is measured face to face surface.
Triple square is not measured in on the surfaces but the outer diameter
of the points. This still needs confirming but that should explain why
the two have different sizes for a given outer diameter.
