5/64 inch converted to metric is 1.9844mm tip.
Hmmm... I thought you would strip screws more if it was smaller.

It must sound rediculous in some garages, "can you pass me the five sixtyforth's please". you can't even shorten it for quickness 
How come fractions are still used, we've clearly moved on since then

This is why I LLLOOOVVVEEE the metric system! But hey, what can you do? 5/64 is actually less syllables than 2 millimeters (then you just ask for a 2 mil), but who's counting, haha! Metric system: based on earth/nature constants, and is expressed in factors of 10's.... Imperial units: based on some dude's foot...... Seriously, how smart do we look?!?! |
