Have the Taiwan made Williams ratcheting wrench sets in both SAE and metric. Looking to buy the 4 larger wrench set add-on; however, wondering if the 13/16 - 1” and 21-25mm are the exact same set with different markings. For reference, the SAE set is JHWWS-1164RC and metric set is JHWMWS-4RC.

Curious if anyone has both sets and confirm whether sizes are actually measure different.

I don't, but I will before long. This post just got me to order the metric set (JHWMWS-4RC). "Arriving July 15-17". I didn't even know that was a thing. I've got a 12pc SuperCombo reversible ratcheting set from 8mm-19mm that's just begging for these bigger siblings.

I'm definitely going to have to rearrange my wrench drawers now though. lol

The lengths, thickness and other sizes are listed for each wrench if you go to the set pages and select each individual wrench
Referring to the open and box ends of the wrench. I’ve seen the measurements on the technical pages and are marginally different so much so that it makes me question that different tooling was developed for the sets. Hence the question are they the same with different markings.

I have some singles. If I get time I can see how the tolerances measure for their given size.

This is about all that I can do, if these are the correct wrenches.
Can you throw a caliper on the 7/8?
My 22mm is showing:
Open end .8755
Box end hex corner to corner 1.06
OAL is 288mm

@sightbike
I would honestly be surprised if they are using the same wrench for both sizes. They really aren't equivalents. Close enough only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
