What's this?? A new guage of tools.. ;-)

I was hoping that the Tool Industry would keep the guage limit to Two main systems. Metric and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard sizes. Oh Well. I suppose it will come in handy when I buy an American built car.

Thanks for the Heads Up on this new ..."U S" ... guage. ;-)
