How this that convenient when you then have to use something like 13/16?
Just look at the standard wrench sizes (https://www.cnm.edu/programs-of-study/programs-a-z/automotive-technology/tool-list https://www.cnm.edu/programs-of-study/programs-a-z/automotiv...):
* Standard Combination Wrenches: 1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1.
* Metric Combination Wrenches: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Measured in millimeters.

- mikecoles 6y agoPerfectly convenient. The standard system excels when doing actual work. If you have a rod with 1" diameter and you need to take it down to 13/16", you can use a lathe to make 3/32" cut. Or if you need to divide up 13/16 into 4 parts, for example, 13/64. The metric system's strength is teaching in elementary schools where skills with fractions are not as strong.
