I just had to do this. im sick of "everyone" acting like metric bolts are some kind of rare import bolt or something.

please spread this worldwide.

thanks.

lol, thats great. And I agree people should get used to metric everywhere. Most companies now all design new products in metric.

nice post

Oddly, I get really irritated if I have to dig out a "standard" size socket for a bolt. Cars I deal with at work are *mostly* Metric, but occasionally I get a Dodge or something that has both metric AND American Standard size bolts in it. That's really frustrating, and overly time-consuming.

My most used set is my metric (I've actually worn out multiple 10mm sockets), and I really hate trying to think my way through what size is next (up or down) on a "standard" set.

I was never good with fractions...

I'm the other way around.
Holy Fuck! It's SAE!
or
Holy Fuck! It's not a 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, or 18mm. It's SAE! Then I end up with a stripped bolt/nut.
This is, of course, when working on a North American model GM car.
