I agree, but for anything smaller than 1" or so, I try to use the proper metric size. (More excuses to buy tools) 10mm= 3/8" 11mm = 7/16" 13mm = 1/2" 14mm = 9/16" 19mm = 3/4" 24mm = 15/16" A lot of times using a metric size on a nut or bolt head that is in bad shape will keep it from rounding...

I think the wheel wrench came later, when the rack and pinion rear wheels came out on the 50, 60, 70 series on up to the present. I wonder what special tools were required to work on those, if any, perhaps some were needed for the PowerTrol?
