just bought a bike from an american dude up here in Canada and I don't think he owned a metric hex key set, judging by how every other bolt is stripped to fuck

I'd ask how, but I bought my nephew his first set of tools for his 25th birthday. He doesn't exactly know how to use them (I'd gladly teach if I lived closer) but none of his blood relatives are mechanically inclined.

Still, better to have a plunger and not need one than to need a plunger and not have one.

Just bought a bike from a Vietnamese dude here in Vietnam and Holy shit who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put steel Philipshead screws into soft aluminum.

Unrelated, but making both metric and imperial hex was a mistake.

Edit: Turns out everyone in vietnam intentionally replaces JIS with philipshead because its easier to find.
