Anyone know where I can find a metric crescent wrench??

I am trying to recalibrate my left-handed veeblefetzer - shown below - and just found out I need one.

1. Look in your apprentices tool box.

Reminds me of the time when we sent the apprentice to the supply house to pick up a case of Fallopian tubes. He didn't have a clue. Or the time I asked one how many 64ths in an inch. Smoke came out of his ears.

2. Just turn it over...one side is fractional, the other metric.

3. You don't need metric. You need centigrade.

4. Wal-Mart

Aisle 14 right beside the left handed monkey wrenches.

6. Is that the same aisle as the piston return springs?

[grandtrio]

7. No...............

but it is in the same aisle as 5 gallon buckets of elbow grease.
For smaller jobs you can also purchase elbow grease in quart size containers.

8. Good to know!

5. I have one, but you'll need a mechanical blivet to work it.....

It's an older one--won't work with an optical blivet. Sorry.

9. A bucket of prop wash, and 3 yards of flight line...

My peeps pulled that crap on me when I was a newbie. Glad to report, not THAT dumb.

11. I bet the got 'em at Harbor Freight

(do you have Harbor Freights in your part of the world? free LED flashlights!)

12. Correct tool

If you use a right-handed zorkfoddle in conjunction with the above, no recalibration is necessary as they balance the flurb.

13. Is that the sort of thing a Professor of Statistics teaches at the University of New Mexico?....
