What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It's really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn't quite right, but you can't work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.

Have you tried with √0,86?

American cars have been using both metric and SAE fasteners since at least the 1980's. I wish they would just gone all metric so I wouldn't have to drag out two socket sets anytime I need to do anything.
