Yahoo/google has been berry berry good to you...WTF is 1.732"....none of my craftsman wrenches have that on em??? :ROTF:
It´s pretty exactly 1 3/4 inch, only 1.8 hundredths less
Welcome to 4th Grade Math, today we´ll start with converting Fractions to decimals.... if .5 is half, who can tell me how much .25 and.75 are if 1.0 is a full unit?
Although I am at a 4th grade math level, our country being one of the only ones to never adopt the metric system I just never use or remember it, so to me its a PIA.
btw. inch, feet, miles,bounds, gallons or whatever american stuff isn't too hard to understand but one thing that blows is that damn Fahrenheit system. Loose that crap

I <3 the metric system.
I guess I'm Anti-American for that..
When I'm underneath a hood, or under a car.. and I need a size or two up or down.. why the hell would I need to do fractions to figure out whats bigger or smaller? Why go from 3/4 t 5/8 when I can go from 13 to 15 and so forth.
Metric makes more sense.
So does Celcius.
Both are more logical and practical.
What really messes me up is when a old american car has both.
Do they do that to mess up the guy who works on his own rig?
