Strine, I understand what you are saying, but I was not brought up with Muttricks, I use metric very little as there is hardly any call for it in what I do and if I do get any of the muttrick stuff, I just convert it to good old American measurement so its not oddball anymore. I do do a little muttrick stuff but it is such a pain to convert and ends up costing the customer much more in the long run. I do have a muttrick tap and die set, a small set of sockets and a small wrench set and allen wrench set in the event I have to work on some of that oddball muttrick stuff.
Usually when I get some muttrick stuff that someone asks me if I can fix, I say sure and just toss the junk in the scrap barrell. LOL, Why should I change to a foreign system I don't even use or intend to use. Guess I am just old fashioned and hard headed and proud of it. Besides I have no source for muttrick iron or keystock, and I am not about to invest in a lot of muttrick special order stuff that would just collect dust and return no investment.
It's too bad Mili Meter didn't drown on her way across the big pond. Lol
Respectfully
