[Healeys] Socket Drive Dimensions

Folks -
	As we all know, the U.S.A. is one of the few (if not the only)
country that has not adopted the Metric System. I am not trying to
revive this particular religious war, but I was wondering about
something. Over the years I have acquired a great many sockets and
ratchets. They come in several "drive" sizes - quarter inch, three
eighths inch, half inch, and three quarter inch. Does the rest of the
world use these drive dimensions, or do they have comparable metric
sizes - perhaps 10 MM drive or 15 MM drive ? Just wondering.
	Healey content: I use these sockets to work on my BJ8.
