Sex drivers, socket drivers whatever it is, it's all
good stuff to me but never think for a minute that you will complete all of it
like a PC game. No sir for you will do it again and again. It's all about stages.
For example at stage one, it's buying only the size need for work. Stage II is
when you need to add few more just in case. Stage III is when for no reason,
you want to complete the Metric and Imperial rainbow from a particular make and
model. Stage IV is when you want several rainbows on the shelf while hunting
down for used, vintage or discontinued tools, another name for stage IV is also
known as a collector/hoarder. Stage IV carriers can impede us bargain hunter
from owning used tools that were once expensive when new.
I recently upgraded to stage II. The upgrade was
inevitable as it really bothers me when I don't have the appropriate size. By
the way I know about those 99 in 1 box interchangeable tool bit type. Yes, they
are convenient but to me it is an inconvenient in disguise. I do not envy
swapping drive bit because the bit itself isn't that much bigger than a guitar
pick, I sure loose them easily. I prefer something that permanent off the
factory. It must have its own handle with integrity and accountability. At this
age I prefer looking at a colour or embossed/stamped number on the
tools than looking at 99 plural bits that look alike with each other. I feel in
the long run, I'm well reimburse by such singular tool design. Furthermore I
want to be seen by my customer's to be professionally presented and not a cheap
skate. lol
My recent pasar road adventure fruited those yellow
handles socket wrench before you. I do feel it would've been nicer if it was
all from the same make but the different make is actually a convenient in
disguise. At least I know what I'm grabbing at first sight. As far as guitars
and amp work concern, I believe the collection is complete. From now on, come whatever
musical gear you are through my door for I am battle ready to take it apart or
to tight it up. As long as it's Metric of course. Hehe.
However I've yet to complete my Imperial socket
wrench. These aren't commonly use in this part of the world. It only gets use
when I dismantle something from USA, Liberia and Myanmar (imperial standard
countries). The only local place I know that sells imperial size socket wrench
is Ace Hardware. By the way thank you for opening a few here. I have to confess
I had made an unavoidable mistake buying socket wrench one at a time before I
realised that the one or two I missed are inside a set on Ace Hardware shelf.
Those can’t be sold as loose and its sure is damn expensive to be doing it
again now. Well what could I do, at the time, when you need it then you need
it.
However I like to point out that some Metric and
Imperial can crossover to the oppose territory. For example 7/16 can work on
11mm nuts. 14mm can work 9/16 nuts. I don't condone this but it works.
What about sex drivers? Why not. Those are pretty too.
Did you know old Kahler Tremolo uses odd size socket fasteners? Good thing one
time I was prepared. I hope the Metric vs Imperial war will end soon.
Technology would move at a congruent tangent. No more conversion chart, app and
less use of the caliper. Wouldn't it be better?Look below to understand what I mean.
In the rest of the world.
A Kilometer is 1000meters, 1 meter is 100cm, 1cm is
100mm, 1mm is 1000micrometers, 1 micron is 1 atom?. Make sense doesn't it.
Meanwhile in USA, Liberia and Myanmar.
A mile is 8 furlongs, 1 furlong is 220 yards, 1 yard is
3 feet, 1 foot is 12 inch, 1 inch equals to half a thumb? Imagine the Olympics in imperial.
Main event sprint final in 109.36 yards and etc.
You must think I'm anti imperial. NO, here’s my string
height gauge. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
