The Amazon / Acofuns wedges are shown to be 10mm wide for the 10mm
nominal size.

Mine look identical as-arrived.
My guess - same manufacturer - same "model".
If so, they fit in a 14mm dia. socket.

Can you start the wedge at all between the feathers in a 10mm hole?
Mine fit the nominal size hole with the wedge somewhat less than half way in. It scraped and gouged the feathers until I rounded and smoothed the leading edge corners of the wedges. I straighten the feathers on the anvil after use. Next time I might rub bar soap on them as a dry lube.
