Look at the European, having to only stock metric screw sizes, so lucky. Kidding!
I'm definitely going to try this out. Looks great!

Lol not European at all. All the standard stuff is out in the garage. This is just my 3D printer workbench.

I love that "standard" means non-standard. I only have metric nuts and bolts, I use them for 3D printed stuff, car and bikes, and I have imperial screws and wrenches for wood working and car. I think my car is all metric, but it just felt safe to get a dual kit.

offtopic, but I was just reminded of making fun of my stepdad because he had a bin full of "standard" sockets labeled "stander".

[–] scv@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ooh, now I want to label SAE stuff as standard and metric as standarder.
