Most American tools are standard like 9/16 or 1/4 and most European tools are metric like 13mm or 19mm. There is a slight difference in size, but it depends on what you're working on. A hammer is a hammer no matter where it came from

OK, they're wire cutters.......and don't forget to get the special tool to tighten the loose nut in front of the steering wheel...very common problem.
