Metric vs fractional

[veedublu@prod.net (John Van Vuren)]

They aren't??   3/8" drive, 1/2" drive, 1/4"....

I'd call that a variety of SAE sizes

The real question - we went to metric tire sizing (195mm wide, etc)...  how
come wheels are still measured in inches??   With metric offset
measurments???    :)
