    I've been making a living with tools for more than forty years. NEVER considered this an option, and it's unlikely I ever will.

    Especially since 7/16" is .4375" and 10mm is .3937"

    The U.S. Mint says the thickness of a dime is 1.35mm or .0531" so it's going to be a tight squeeze, ruin the dime, round the bolt and probably skin up some knuckles. And that's why my labor rate is $137 an hour and my tool box is locked.

    I recently put a drink holder on my rollator. Got to stay hydrated!

    You do seem to be a humourless bird...perhaps the subtlety of wryness was lost on you....perhaps the stories coming from the Babylon Bee are gospel fact too? [cmfrt]

    You seem to have missed the obvious lack of need for your bringing the obvious up.

    So, *gasp*, you've assumed the role of policing the bleedin' obvious? ..how community minded of you. And, I'm the one who's said to have OCD? :LOL:

    Did you know the back can be removed from your recliner to make it easier to get into the house? I didn't until a few days ago, and this is my third Beast recliner. It's sure a lot easier to move around in two pieces.
