When I clicked on the link, I got a short article and a bunch of eBay ads for metric tools. Not complaining that they are ad-based, but some of the prices for metric wrenches were absolutely staggering. I hope they don't put anyone off buying metric tools. Shop around, you can find decent metric wrenches and sockets for the same prices as Customary sizes. (Actually, I bought mine from eBay, off sellers who weren't trying to rip me off, and got some metric Craftman open-end wrenches and sockets to fit 1/4" and 1/2" square drive handles. They are a much nicer way to assemble metric goods from China than the cheap, stamped metric wrenches that come in the box with the goods.)
