What are the most commonly used standard sizes? I have a pretty complete metric set ...
I need to check the vac lines for 4WD issues today, any idea what the bolts on the battery tray are offhand?

I just use metric on most things since they increase in size by only 1 millimeter for each wrench.
They work fine for most US standard applications unless you are really putting some tork on a rusty bolt in US standard...then the standard wrenches work better.

I feel like everything I do on the blazer, I'm always having to use the 15mm socket...which always seem to escape after the first bolt comes out[:@]

Using a 13mm socket on a 1/2' bolt head is a good way to round it off [&o]
