Default RE: Weird screw sizes

Yes, I agree. My experience with motorcycles tells me that Japanese manufacturers can get by with primarily 10mm and 13mm screw sizes. I can go with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, mm etc. But why 2.5, 6.5 mm etc. Get real. How about all fine thread? How about dumping the dog gone "Japanese Industrial Standard" Phillips screw driver thing? And, stop the Spanish stuff with the new product manuals. It's English here or go the freak home. Right my Italian, German, French, Russian, Portugese, Japanese, American friends? I've got it, let's go metric fine thread and loose the 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 9/64, 5/32 etc nonsense. Metric and whole numbers.
