9mm wrench

ok, am I going to have to actually BUY a 9mm combination wrench??? LOL!!!!! I have never in my life found a fastener with a 9mm head on it.
Is this going to be a commonly used size in the bicycle wrenching world?
Have run into an unusual size in the fitting that the front brake cable on my Trek 850 ends in. This has an acorn nut and then the end of the cable is captured in a fitting that is hex shaped on the back. Acorn nut isn't coming loose with pliers. Its not an 8 and its not a 10?
Just seems so funny (odd) to perhaps actually NEED a 9mm wrench!
Live and learn!
Or is it possible that they threw an odd SAE size fastener on? Will check out that poss. later.

see ya,
Em
