    I’m a digital age, all of that is converted automatically. Bottom right corner, units option. Even when you find suspicious values like 25.4mm (1.000"), there’s so much esoteric sizing out there that it’s not a smoking gun. We use 10mm hex sockets on 3/8" square drive ratchets and put 235mm wide tires on 18" diameter wheels across the world.

    For anyone else wondering WTF SAE is:

    Tools and fasteners with sizes measured in inches are sometimes called “SAE bolts” or “SAE wrenches” to differentiate them from their metric counterparts. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) originally developed fasteners standards using U.S. units for the U.S. auto industry; the organization now uses metric units.
