'Special Dave' =FYI=
Metric Wrench Sizes [mm] are shown, along with their
"American Standard" equivalence, in 1/1000s of an Inch.
"Standard-Size" Wrenches refers to SAE Sizes in Inches*

* Fractions of Inches : 1/16", 3/8", 19/32", 7/8", 1-1/4"
-exception- a One Inch 'SAE' Wrench is a 1" Wrench

"SAE" = the Society of Automotive Engineers.
