Bernhard,
Do you intend to disclose the name of the tool which you
have found? We've been reading submissions on this topic ad
nauseum, and would at least like some closure in knowing the
name of the tool you have chosen. :-)

JL,
I agree with the most you wrote but have to disagree about sizes.
As far as I remember the inches belong to the very old antquiate imperial

No hard feelings. Just a joke.

OK, I'm lost for sure. Why does it matter that pictures are an exact mm
