Here are some photos of the socket wrench inch to metric adapter. An adapter in a 7/8" socket will fit a 20 mm. Others in the set are:
15/16" - 19 mm
3/4" -17 mm
5/8" - 14 mm
9/16" - 13 mm
9/16" - 12 mm (a thicker insert than above)
1/2" - 11 mm
7/16" - 10 mm
3/8" - 9 mm
As you can see they are carried on a ring and have a spring wire tool to retrieve the insert from the socket. I suppose they would work in a 12-point socket and on box end wrenches too.
I don't recall using them, but have them in my travel tool bag now, just in case.

Edit: The adapters fit all the way into the sockets, the photo shows one of the inserts only partially in for illustration purposes.

Years ago, when metric fasteners were first being used on a large scale in the U.S., I bought a set of inserts for 6-point socket wrenches that would convert an inch socket to a metric. Never used them so can't say how good they fit. I'll see if I can find them and post a photo.
