They are fractions.

 

i hope there arent any american car builders in here or they'll be laughing pretty hard.

yes they are labeled in fractions of an inch.

 

lmao this is a funny post.

someone didn't pay attention in 3rd grade fractions...j/k dude

and yes domestic people are now crying over this thread.

 

LOL that's a pretty pathetic question. I knew they were a LITTLE harder than metrics, but come on. They are fractions of ONE INCH.

IE: 1/2 = 1/2 INCH! (also, 2/4)
......3/4 = 3/4 INCH! (one size smaller than 7/8!)

Get it?!

 

ROFL hahahah thats awesome best question ever

 

I know its kinda a silly question to us guys, but anyone ever stop to think that maybe he doesnt have anyone to teach him this stuff? I mean yeah, he prolly learned fractions in school, but maybe no one ever got a chance to teach the kid about tools. I know my old man was a *******, and I had to learn everything myself. I dont think anyone should be giving him **** about it... anywho

Yes, they are fractions of an inch, all in 1/16ths. So:

1/16 = 1/16
2/16 = 1/8
3/16 = 3/16
4/16 = 1/4
5/16 = 5/16
6/16 = 3/8
7/16 = 7/16
8/16 = 1/2
9/16 = 9/16
10/16 = 5/8
11/16 = 11/16
12/16 = 3/4
13/16 = 13/16
14/16 = 7/8
15/16 = 15/16
16/16 = 1

 

Dunno, I have a hard time telling standard sizes.

For example I can look at a bolt on my car and tell if its a 10mm, 17mm etc... When it comes to standard bolts on say a domestic car im clueless, I cant eyeball that ****. I guess it comes with experience though. Why cant everything be metric!!??

Thats why most of the world uses metric except for american companies. obviously some use metric.

 

Try working on a newer American made car. They use standard and metric, they also have torx head, flat and phillips screws all over the place. I used to work on them , They drive me insane! You end up with every tool you own on the floor to take off a header.

 

i like to kinda stare past the handle. make it blurry. then jeff gordon floats up and tells me the size. you gotta really concentrate but it's the best way. jeff don't lie ya'll.

man i missed the original post but i bet it was funny, damn kids.
