But why must we replace bits, sockets, tape measures and all of our imperial
sized tools? Just to be like the rest of the world? After 39 years of
following my father around the world or bouncing around it myself ( we're
both career military) I'll tell you I don't see anything they do that
warrens changing. In the age of the internet if you want to change, order
your tools aboard but don't force your ideas on the rest of us!!!!

Watch for the bounce.

Go buy a couple of metric tape measures and have at it. I think you
could use whatever you like. You might have to replace bits and maybe
other things but as far as measuring goes, what difference does it
make as long as you always use the same thing? Of course for me, all
of the code requirements are still in inches so I'd have some
converting to do.

BTW, the scale on my Bies has both but the inch scale is on the top
where you can almost see it under the top of the pointer. I kinda
wish it was the other way around. I haven't spent the $15 for a
replacement scale in inches yet but I may have to.
