The only metric is like is the 9MM. I might consider the 10MM

It's really weird, or hypocritical, when you think about it. The countries who use the metric system use ratchets in 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 inch drive. Seriously. Think about that. "Hey comrade, hand me a 10mm socket on the 3/8 drive ratchet".

We know that, but most don't. 92 5/8". To many, any 2x4 is a stud.
Stud? That reminds me of the time I accidentally walked into a Lesbian Bar. The very first thing I noticed was even the pool table didn't have any balls. Then later I realized there were no studs in the walls, it was all tongue-in-groove construction.
