In the US our sockets have 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4" drive tools...

...what sizes are the drive tools in metric countries?

I've wondered this myself... I don't have anything constructive to add, I just wanted to comment to track the page in case someone knowledgable in such things has an answer...

Metric sockets still use imperial drive tools. It's weird.

We have metric sockets but they use imperial drive tools. So we would have a 13mm socket but that would go on a 3/8" drive ratchet.

Am I reading your comment right, it sounds like you also use imperial drive tools?

IIRC 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 ETC is a defacto standard except Russia but I have never seen proof if Russian/soviet ratchets are metric.

yes. Canada can into metric,but cannot into metric drive fitments. Not sure about the rest of the world.
