Dear Paul,
Thanks for the reference. Did you notice that on the right of the web
page you sent there is a link to 'Michael Storer's Forum' at http://www.woodworkforums.com/f169/re-using-metric-system-usa-getting-tape-measures-others-70285
and this is quite interesting for anyone who wants to source rulers
and tapes in millimetres.
Cheers,

Be that as it may, it beats measuring in inches and converting as

Dual is easy to find here, metric-only is generally not sold in DIY
stores, you have to buy on eBay, or maybe from a pro tool company.
I haven't gotten around to blogging it yet, but I recently got some

some home project work:

Metric drill bits are fairly easy to come by on Amazon.
