I have a dual one. The one I can't find is one that has 1/16 1/8 3/16 and so on

id love a metric on one edge and fractional on the other (I'm constantly telling the blokes at work its 42" and whatever the line is above 3/4) and double sided

Na. Give me a paslode over air any day. I've been a carpenter for 13 years and would not pull out a compressor to save my life. Most cordless tools these days are good enough that you do not need the corded version. I haven't pulled out my corded 5" grinder, multi tool, jigsaw or saws all in...

I've seen statues with more brains. If they were on a building site that I ran back in Australia most would be sacked

I still confuse the boys at work as I was used to working with old blokes back home and 90x35 would be called 4x2. Out of habit I still say the larger measurement first. On a side note I'm yet to see a 2x4 actually measure 2x4. They tell me that it refers to the undressed size but it measures...

how many yanks would have watched it if he said we need 90 x 35 and 65mill screws?

what was your point and how did i prove it?

just like the rest of the world, not that bigger problem. you will always run into something that needs imperial, i was still running into it at home 50 years after we changed over.

yeh coz 1/16 - 5/64 - 3/32 - 7/64 - 1/8 - 9/64 - 5/32 - 11/64 - 3/16 -13/64 - 7/32 - 15/64 - 1/4 - 17/64 - 9/32 - 19/64 - 5/16 - 21/64 - 11/32 - 23/64 - 3/8 - 25/64 - 13/32 - 27/64 - 7/16 - 29/64 - 15/32 - 31/64 - 1/2) makes much more sense than 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and so on

also i bought some meat from the shop, froze it then had to defrost it, looked at the label and it said 3.7 pounds, placed it in the microwave pressed the defrost button and tried to put in 3.7 pounds, after it not working i read the manual and it wanted pounds and ounces. so after a short...

im an aussie living in the us and am a carpenter, sae *****, you all defend it but insist on having but use a decimal when is suits. who can tell me what 6.85 inches is and where to find it on a tape. also driving, in metric the sign will say 'turn right in 1km' then turn left in 500m' yet here...

I'm surprised at all the recommendations for redback(they are cheap at 65usd). I wore them for 10 years but decided to give lace up a go. Now I'm lazy and there is no way that I would do them up everyday so I bought some steel blue lace up with a zip side. They were incredible to start with but...

Don't be calling me American. I'm Australian. That's why I know how good other tool brands are. America has a lot of protectionism for there own brands. That's why Milwaukee is so big. (Even if it is made in China)

Also why don't we get tradie grade hitachi in the states. Only home handyman grade

I would never pay that for a Milwaukee drill. They may be good but there is a lot of hype towards them. Check out this drill. Hitachi ip56 Impact driver made in Japan.
