Let me know how long it took

COOL🤩 I can only find inch pattern wrenches, he must have special ordered the metric ones from Europe.

Thats called an electricians socket set.

If it weren't for that dang metric system he would only need half of those wrenches.😁 Bob

Whoever that is...

funny
but he or she , should have tack welded each one in its numerical place 😁 to make it a better set 😲

If the Lord above wanted us to use the metric system, there would have been 10 apostles, not 12....

Didn’t take me very long. Looks like a set of Polish Fitzalls!

side track note, back when I was in the 7th / 8th grade early 1970's if that helps
I remember the math and history teachers pounding into our little heads . pay attention the metric system will take over might as well get use to it . well closing in on 55 years later +/- looks a compromise took hold as products are labeled as both now. my guess American's are too stubborn to learn a new system including me 😁 . I still do not know it very well other than socket size and had to buy more tools early on due the (&*^%&( metric system and cars using both MM and sae bolts . well its too late for me to give in now

When I was a mean ol' middle school Science teacher I made the kids calculate how much a one inch and 2.5 cm rainfall weighed on a 50 x 100 yard/meter field weighed.
After converting yards to inches to cubic inches to gallons to pounds vs converting cm to cubic cm to grams to kilograms they quit griping about the metric system.
It has it's uses. I feel some teachers that required students to memorize all the oddball metric measurements that aren't used are to blame for some of the dislike.
I'm bilingual and that's good enough for me.😎

First metric measurement I learned was 355ml = 1 beer.

Even more confusing than the metric system is the dufus process my agency uses. Some measurements in millimeters, some in fractions, and some in hundredths of an inch--AND ALL ON THE SAME 2 PAGE FORM. Oh, and the weights are in hundredths of a pound.
Try to give instructions to a new employee whose eyes rolled back in his head after the first entry was in PACES.

All I see are right handed wrenches, no left handed. What if he has to loosen something?

Come'on fellas.........
We all know what the PRIME, and only, conversion is.......don't we???????
pi equals 3.14159265.......................nope.
7000 grains equals 1 pound!!!!!! 😉

One millimeter = four caliber. Close enough for me!

Metric units are inconveniently too large or too small.

Metric pitches for threads are a nightmare.
Just give me National Fine or National Course.

2 days 29 hours and counting,,,,,

Joe, I hope you’re not staying up day and night doing all this counting. 😂😂

"One millimeter = four caliber. Close enough for me!"
In some cases, this is of some use/advantage. Trying to relay the size (5/16 or 3/8) of a certain bolt that had been lost in disassembly/re-assembly wasn't going well until I asked "Does a 9mm case pass through the hole?" If so, the bolt was 3/8". Question answered.

In Vietnam, all our maps were in kilometers (also 30 years old and the text was in Cambodian!) but our aircraft navigation radios were in miles. It took some mental agility to convert one to the other at times. I retain some of that for distances, volume, and weight, but am lost when it comes to things like Newtons of force.

"Newtons of force" Is that like a whole box of the cookies?

I ain’t “FIG-ured" it out yet

Newton's of force depends upon how high up in the tree the apple was before it hits you. Bidup Bup (that end of my sentence was a drum beating) 😁

All automobiles made these days are made using metric measurements, even if they are made in the USA,

45/100" is still better than 9mm.

45 is quicker than 409

Speaking of this. I always thought it was odd. Every time Isaac Newton had to take a leak, presumably he probably whipped it out and the stream always splashed down to the ground. But, it wasn't until an apple allegedly hit him in the head that he "discovered" gravity???
