When we went Metric, I thought "Aha! that won't happen any more", but now it's 14mm / 13mm spanners.

Never mind, the "Imperial" sized spanners are now turning up from the other dimension, & they are "near as dammit" the same size, anyway!

Funny enough, speaking about 9/16 spanners, I was using some today, helping a guy to undo a few bolts on a Cadillac, 1904 version. interesting vehicle, no electrics in it aside from a 6v battery to run the ignition, no lights, and it is coach built, meaning all of the upper section is wood. exhaust needs repair, and it will be easy to rebuild, just have to find some stove pipe to make a new muffler, though i think there adding a few baffles and some glass wool would also help, seeing as the inside is just soot, none of the asbestos fill left any more.

A few weeks ago, I suddenly let out a huge sneeze, and blew a few 100 - 0603s, TSSOP transistors etc etc all over the carpeted room !! I was sorting them for a production run. I now have a very expensive carpet - wonder if I should sell it, mentioning the component list?

Get a magnet salvaged from a scrap hard drive, it will pick all these parts up just fine.  All SMT components seem to have a tiny bit of magnetic plating or something in them.

Please stop dropping things! It's getting hard to walk around in here.
