When doing fine work, you need the right tools at hand. Without them, you're unlikely to make anything that will last. Indeed, it makes perfect sense that to create quality work, you need quality tools and equipment. Unfortunately, today there's a lot of confusion about measurement; the Metric system has been gaining in popularity in the United States, but the Imperial system still reigns.
That's why you need to be careful about your hex key sizes. When you buy the wrong hex keys, sizes can be completely off, making them worthless depending on what you need the hex key for. In all likelihood, you'll eventually find yourself using Metric sizing, and you'll be glad when you do. It's a far simpler, more streamlined measurement system, and you'll be reluctant to go back to it.
A Metric fastener comes in a wide variety of standard sizes. Metric fastener sizes range from quite small to quite large, and there are always tools that can fit them, as odd halves and quarters and one-eighths don't plague that particular measurement system.
When it comes to Metric fasteners, dimensions range from quite wide or tall or thin or squat, and everything in between. You won't lose your variety when you switch from Imperial to Metric; rather, you'll simply lose the confusion that comes with working with the old, outdated illogical system widely used in America at the moment.
Indeed, Metric fasteners are demonstrably superior to their Imperial counterparts simply owing to the standardized nature of them. Metric sizes scale upwards in a predictable and more precise manner, and it will be easier for you to find the exact sizing you need faster and with less hassle than if you used the Imperial system.
Yes, the Imperial system had its day, but the Metric system is based upon sound mathematical principles. You have only to look to the Metric system's origins in the French Revolution of the late 19th century to see how it is born of a need for a logical, mathematically predictable system, rather than the mess of arbitrary measurements we see in the Imperial system today.
Why is a foot twelve inches long, and not eleven, or thirteen? A meter, on the other hand, has very good reasons for being as long as it is – reasons based on the nature of life on Earth itself. Isn't the scientifically and mathematically principled measurement system the one you want to be using?
