Well perhaps the dimensions of the casting would be metric or could be,
the 4 sides of a standard crescent wrench opening could be dimensioned
and fabricated in metric but a crescent wrench (I'm referring to those
adjustable ones with a thumb wheel), have no specific size other than
the maximum and minium opening. It would be infinitely adjustable
(between max. and min. opening size). For example it would work on a
3/4" bolt just as well as it would on a 20 mm bolt.
