As does the US auto industry and others with a world market. The US was supposed to go metric in 1970 but due to heavy lobbying by companies not wanting to retool, we are still in the stone age. Might as well be using Whitworth.

Thats your OPINION.

By the way what do they call a 2x4 in Canada???

I’ve learned the hard way that a lifetime guarantee refers only to the lifetime of the company, and any reorganization can also upset the apple cart. But it does look like a nice tool.

I agree, or the lifetime of the product. I once bought an expensive recliner. I bought it because it had a lifetime warranty on the mechanism. Then when it broke I found out the warranty was good for seven years..the projected lifetime of the chair....Live and learn.


B.O.

A lot of web info down here is abbreviated. Went back to not find spec link. Thank you.

It’s in the specifications section, but you have to scroll that area to see it.

1/4 in. x 5/16 in, 3/8 in. x 7/16 in, 1/2 in. x 9/16 in, 5/8 in. x 11/16 in, 3/4 in. x 13/16 in.

Man I must be blind. I went here to find out what sizes this assortment contains. Metric or USA. Good luck

Those are called tubing wrenches. Anyone who works professionally with tubing uses those. They come in sizes for all the common flare or compression nuts. Mark.

Also known as line wrenches, usually six point. If my dad saw you put an open end wrench or a crescent wrench on a fuel or brake line you were going to be sorry.
