Chinese Versus TAIWAN Hand Tools
I have used both and in my opinion the comparison is night and day. Some stores like Auto Zone carry TAIWAN mechanic's tools And then there is MEANWELL power supplies versus mainland garbage ...

Good tractor story made me smile :)
I believe the Chinosos and probably others figured put that 11 millimeters "should be close enough" to 7/16" . So they saved money and simply stamp either number atop their wrenches as needed.
I used to use the strongest USA commercial bolt. Supertanium. Made a joke out of other wanna be's like Lamson and sessions L9 and even "cat bolts" which is no mean feat.
Tested the 1/4" Supertaniums with a new Snap On dial torque wrench. FIFTY POUNDS FEET they snapped. Don't even want to think about Chinese bolts ---- how many inch ounces would they tolerate? Yes it is bitter sarcasm.
. Enough of this rant.
No more WORK TODAY LANDFILL TOMORROW krap
