I'm on team inch. I think the metric system has been pushed by Big Socket to sell more wrenches. If they made a meter equal a yard we could be bilingual and use the most appropriate system for the job.
Fact: the most often lost socket is a 10mm.
Then why am I finding nothing but 10mm when I need anything else? I swear I have 50.
They're all going to you. Do you have an unusual amount of single socks too?
Big Socket has us by the short and curlies.
Except when you need a 7/16ths, then they turn into 10mm's. The reverse is true too.
Don't forget big nut!
Then we could have two systems with stupid scientific formulas!
Wtf is a yard?
Anyway sure we can make a meter equal a yard, that would be exactly 100cm
3 feet
How many armpits?
