I spend 10 hrs a week under cars, and i say, hell yeah! I want this! For all cars!
- da_chicken 2y agoYou want to use 17 mm bolts to hold your fuel cap on? And your wiper blades? And your rear view mirror? Some standardization is a great idea, but including the word "all" is what makes it academic and impractical. And if you're not going to be absolutist about it, then you're just using marketspeak.
- blueflow 2y agoYes, i do! At least that all of their heads are 17, IMHO a pretty good and already common size.
