Default What the hell is 7mm tool?

Ive spent 2hrs already and cant get to move this annoying screws behind the caliper. What does 7mm hex tool look like? Is it the 7mm key or socket or something special autobots got it from cybertron? I mean im annoyed, im doing the brakes for the first time and i am clueless.

Here's what i saw in my tool box which looked closest to the brake caliper 7mm kit i saw on amazon

No. 3 (tiniest tool) actually said 7mm on it so i thought this socket may do it but nope it wont even fit, but when i searched internet this is what i found

Amazon.com: Lisle 33900 Hex Brake Caliper Kit - 7mm: Automotive

Help me people!

I believe it is a 7mm allen (key, wrench, hex). in your picture you have the socket (socket, like female) and in the Amazon picture, you need the (plug, like male).

make sense?

I found this in home depot, it said 7mm hex. im guessing the top part goes in the screw and lower part in the tool behind it
