work out if 9/16 is bigger or smaller than 19/32.


You really have problems with doubling a number?


I don't have to with mm, why do you think we went metric? So you can seriously glance at a pile of socket bits and put them in order? You have to think for each one and perform a calculation. With mm, it's just 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, etc.
