I've been working on European built plastics machinery for many years, all
metric. a lot of the metric stuff Snap-On does not even make (try buying a 65
mm wrench from Snap-On) have to buy German stuff (they don't make theirs out
of unobtanium)

A lot of newer american cars are now using a mix of metric and standard in
their cars. Oddly though these sizes seem different than what standards are in
the rest of the world. For instance most european hex head fasteners have head
sizes 10,13,17,19,22,24,27mm not sizes like 15 mm and 18 mm
Anybody know why? are these maybe JIS (Japanese) as opposed to DIN (German)
standards?
Or did the american auto manufacturers buy stock in the tool companies?
