americans will really say "7/16ths" as a real supposedly sane measurement

@snacks why does that shit even exist there must be a reason for it. i mean usually in the kits the wrench for it seems like a size meant for medium jobs where a 1/2 wrench wouldnt fit but a 1/4 wouldnt have the bits for it. or where a 1/2 wrench of the length usually included in kits would not have the leverage to break the fastener loose

@meso ig the issue is that those units where mostly created when you didn't need such fine size differences a lot. The next smallest is a thou i think? That shit is really fucking tiny and prob kinda new
