Literally had to move to a country where the millimeters were different to finally rid myself of the exquisite curse
The millimeters were different?
They’re upside down for one thing, and they drive on the other side of the ruler
I bet half of this shit is not compliant with any standard measuring system or tooling. They just make these with whatever production run for whatever cheap shit because their screw heads don’t actually properly fit any normal tool.
Recently one came with a screwdriver which worked for like 2 out of 10 screws before it bent in half and collapsed out of the handle. Everything is shit now. Where’s my belt onion?
