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. --
