Got curious and...was just wondering which units does the Create Fishnet tool takes when specifying the cell size height and width. No such information in the documentation. Any info?

The units are those of the specified coordinate system of the output, which can be specified in 2 ways.

Create Fishnet—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop 

The coordinate system of the output can be set either by entering a feature class or layer in the Template Extent parameter or by setting the Output Coordinate System environment variable.

...

The Cell Size Width and the Cell Size Height values are in the same units as defined by the output feature class.
