Yeah, I have several adjustable wrenches, in both metric and
imperial sizes. Some are both metric and imperial size. ;-)

I know it's a joke, but I have exactly such a beast, with an SAE
scale on one side, and a metric on the other.

I was referring to the "8in" on one side and "300mm" on the
other. ;-) They probably have the scale on them too (pretty
useless, so I don't remember).

True. They're not nearly accurate enough. I set my adjustable
wrenches with a dial caliper before applying them to the nut.


Well - that's ok for you guys that call things good enough. For me
- I do the dial caliper thing, and then I hit the wrench with my
mig welder to make sure it won't move. Ya can never be too safe ya
know...


Got that blade yet?


No! The damned thing is still in transit from Utah of all places! The
company is only about 150 miles from here and the blade is
manufactured about 150 miles in a different direction, but it's
shipping from... UTAH! Every day, I'm going out to my garage to
smoke some cigs and while I'm out there, I'm reassuring my table saw
that a new and wonderful thing is about to enter its life. I fear
it may be starting to doubt me...

You have kids right? You know better than to let the cat out of the
bag before you know that you can deliver. LOL


But... me and my table saw have developed such a love relationship over the
past couple of months...
