USMA used to compile a metric products document, back when paper was more prominent than online information. It took a lot of work to compile that yearly, and the then USMA Executive Director has passed. Now USMA occasionally puts metric-product information in Metric Today, especially if there has been a request. But having said all of that, this would be a good project, but also a lot of work to keep up to date. A good opportunity for volunteers to help the metric cause, by making known where to get the types of things you are asking about.

I'm not looking for household consumable items, more like metric things to use, and information in metric units. My intention is to answer questions like: * Where can I get A4 paper, and binders, and a metric hole punch with the 80 mm spacing? (Also, leads in millimetre sizes for mechanical pencils.) * Where can I get a metric recipe book, cooking scale and an oven thermometer in Celsius? * Where can I get millimetre drill bits and metric screws? Metric measuring tools? * Where can I get dress patterns in the metric sizes I am used to, and a dressmakers measuring tape in centimetres? I hope this helps you understand what |I am looking for.

I have asked for assistance on Reddit and I thought USMA members might be interested in contributing. If it becomes big enough to be useful, the USMA is welcome to incorporate it into its website. My intention is to have a listing of: * Names and websites of manufacturers or distributors of metric-sized products, not individual metric products listed on eBay or Amazon. * Useful items such as tools, stationery, craft materials, cooking scales, thermometers, recipe books, clothing patterns. Not consumable products such as coffee, cement or dog food in metric-sized packaging. (You already have a listing of consumer products on your website.) I've found a few items and listed them below, please feel free to submit more items. Any suggestions are welcome.
