[Healeys] Socket Drive Dimensions

Bernie,
Here in "metric" Europe we still keep to these inch drive dimensions. But
cannot tell you the reason behind. Apart other things, we also still have some
water tubes in inch sizes.

Betreff: [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.
