A common wrench set in SAE would have these sizes:
1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2,9/16,5/8,11/16,3/4,13/16 inch.
Metric: 6,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,17,18,19mm. There are lots of other sizes below, above and in between for odd applications.
Just for comparison, a 10 mm is just slightly smaller than a 7/16. And 9/16 is slightly larger than a 14mm. Many times I have used a 14mm on a worn out bolt that was originally 9/16. Hope this helps.

Wrenches are measured in either inches, like 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 etc, or in millimeters. Some sets have a different size on each end, some are open ended and closed ended in the same size. Sears is a great place to get quality and selection for hand tools like wrenches. They have sets and individual wrenches in just about every size you can imagine.

There are 2 types of wrench measurements. SAE and metric. SAE wrences are measured in fractions of inches. Larger wrenches are divided by 1/16th inch increments while the tiny ones are measured in 1/32nd inch increments. Metric wrenches are measured in millimeters. The measurement refers to the width of the nut or bolt head that the wrench will fit.

if the wrenches are standard, they're in 1/8 inch increments...if they're metric, they're numbered whole or half numbers

They are either made in terms of inches or centimeters. But, for example...pipe wrenches are standard in inches. But, I bet you can find them in centermeters as well. So, standard or metric.
