If I had a dime for every time I heard that, I would be rich........

 

[chryslerfat]

Why not just use Channel locks

 

[SSVDP]

Wait... What does that convert into British Standard sizes.

 

[hemi71x]

Why not just use Channel locks

Maybe didn't have them in the toolbox at that time??

 

[mguner]

Excuse me but it's 14mm + 10 cents = 1/2"!

 

[ScampMike]

14 and 10 is 24 - whatssamatter whit you guys!?

 

[adriver]

Yea, but what about 10mm?

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I've made a steering wheel puller from a hood hinge, two water pump bolts and a big bolt and nut I found.

I've used axle shafts as hammers and pry bars and broken glass as a knife.

I used my wife as a condom. It didn't work that good,cuz I got three kids outta that before I realized what was going on.

I actually HAVE a metric crescent wrench. No joke, it's stamped so many mm to so many mm!!

 

[AJ/FormS]

Get out!
What country would go to that trouble? Oh wait, let me guess; are they on the other side of the ball-earth model?

 

[RustyRatRod]

Whatever works.

 

[krazykuda]

Notice how the dime is bent and not flat any more....

 

[krazykuda]

If you buy parts at the pick and pull, how many nuts and bolts is acceptable to pocket and sneak without "declaring" at the front desk???

 

[AJ/FormS]

Well if it gets to 17 pounds, it will be hard to hide, and your limp will give it up.....

Depends on the size of the bolts, and how much they charge you to walk the yard in the first place

always knew you were smart Frankie

Just not smart enough to do this math or read the picture .as stated 1/2 inch + dime does not equal 14 mm. 14 mm + dime =1/2 inch .Now to the bigger question - if you've got metric wrenches why not force a 12 mm on it ?

I think you got that backwards, 14 mm plus 1 dime would be closer to 19/32
the two correct answers are 14 mm MINUS 1 dime is 1/2, and 1/2 plus 1 dime is 14 mm

I'm thinking;
2 medium eggs, 1 large slice of ham, a half a pint of milk, and some buttered toast, makes a real nice breakfast

 

[Mopar Tim]

6 beers make a nice evening snack! I grab what ever bolts I take off to get to what I need removed.

I once needed a woodruff key, pulled a crank pully , got yhe key, and walked to the u pull it window and set the key on the counter,,, The lady looked at me with this funny look and said. "Honey I didn't know car parts could be that small, just take it."


I don't think anyone had ever tried to pay for something they could just pocket...
HA ha
