If America switched to metric, we'd only need half as many tools!

well, eventually, once we phase out all the old crap

It would make things so much easier...

"how many grams are in an 1/8"

It would be nice if everything was metric. I am always amazed how accuratly people can entimate yards and KM. When I estimate miles I am always waaaay off.

Haha good old metric!

I know both systems really well though, I have to deal with your imperial and then my own metric.
