Port divers inspecting thru hulls?

Don't think the left handed screwdriver is available yet, perhaps this Summer?

Being a lefty I think that is downright discrimination. I need a metric left handed screwdriver.

If ya want to buy one, a bona-fide metric adjustable wrench exists:

Of course, you may be able to adapt it to work on silly inch-type fasteners.

Or even:

I hate it when a good joke is spoiled by reality...

That's one problem today is that all those things made up as jokes for new or naive employees have actually had someone start marketing a novelty item. So the person does have a chance to find it.

Back in my navy days my chief sent me to the radar techs for some relative bearing grease the funny part is it was a real item special graphite grease for a bearing on top of the spn 43 radar

As far as a diver working under a boat in a marina, if it was me I would at least use a dive flag on both fingers of the dock to the boat I was working on.

[newhaul]

The divers in our marina ad hear to the buddy system one in the water and one on the dock seems like a really good safety idea to me

Go back and have them order you an adapter.

Just be happy that since the US does have metric stuff that you can find a metric crescent wrench somewhere. Just think how much it sucks for US boats in Europe to find a fractional crescent wrench.

Funniest thing I read in a long time. The good ole days. We always sent the new guy to the parts store for an upper radiator hose for the VW bug.
