Only the US, Liberia, and Myanmar (Burma) use anything but the Metric system for most measurements. The UK has some measurements in Imperial, but they’re disappearing pretty quickly since the younger generations are used to metric for everything.

Only ISO?

Shaun is correct. The rest of the world use the ISO standard and the metric system. I believe it’s only USA, North Korea, Liberia and one or two other countries not using the metric system. ISO I don’t know about but I guess most countries use it.

Come on. Adapt, bite the bullet and join the rest of the world.

Fair point, gentlemen. I’ve never gotten a topic from another blog before these two, so I didn’t think to add a link to the original post. For the record, Whitelines and Glove Guards are via http://www.kk.org/cooltools/.

You all know that the Toolmonger site has had a link to Cool Tools on the front page (and every page for that matter) under “Blogs” for years now, right?

If toolmonger is going to copy articles without a credit, I’d rather just read the other site, especially when the reviewer on http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/003924.php has actually used the item, not just visited the website.

Give credit where it’s due

Did someone just discover Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools site? This item and the Glove guards are both posted there in the last 3 days. If you are getting your leads from KK, it would be nice to put a “via” link at the bottom to give credit where credit is due.

Matt, when the rest of the world uses those sizes it makes sense.
God the USA is so backwards sometimes.

Very cool, but they only offer it in ISO paper sizes… A4 and the like. Booo….
