Time for a quick internationa affairs pop quiz!

[ooman]

Regarding sockets and their drivers in countries that are fully metric, what size are their equivalent drivers for 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2"?

And please don't brand me as anti-American, but quaint as inches, feet and teaspoons are, I wish we'd switch over to metric already!

Mr. Schoendorff has a gatling gun that fires links.

Is a bit odd, but I suppose if they wanted to force the issue they could start referring to them as 6.35mm, 9.525mm and 12.7mm drives.

I'll tell you what: I'm sure as hell glad they DON'T have metric drive sizes!

Me thinks it based on who invented what. This is why spark plugs are 14mm, they were invented in Europe (I think in England) WE invented socket wrenches. The theory sounds good. But I have to say it's BS cause I really don't know.
