Mike,


My rant really was against DeWalt for choosing an odd thread/size screw
to begin with.


But if it's a metric screw it isn't an odd size at all.

DeWalt sell to a world market. Why should they make a special version for
you Yanks just because you still live in the dark ages and insist on using
old fashioned imperial size screws?



DeWalt appreciates the fact the we Yanks can still work with fractions.
They dumb it down for those that can only figure out whole numbers.
