I just received an Eletric Digital Caliper in the mail. You know, one of those little measuring doodads with a LCD display stuck onto it.
The front of the box, in read block leters has "Important Warning Label in Back"
On the back I find this important warning it says, in block letters:
"Using Hand tools can be dangerous, alwars take care and keep away from children. Wear protective eyewear in work area at all times. Selsct correct type and size of hand tools for work. This product manufactured in china."
First odd that being manufctured in china should be a warning, I figure by this time it should be something like nayah, nayah, nayah we make things you don't. I'm getting off track....
So a digital caliper is a dangerous tool that should be kept away from children!?!?! Tools should be given to children, they should be encourged to take things apart to see how they work. Many of you have calipers, how much damage do you really think the avrage person can do with them?? A warning label, really, really!!!!!
If you can't manage to NOT stick the end into your eye then maybe you shouldn't be trusted with eye balls!!!!
George Carlin was right when he said "The pusifaction of America"
Done now, going to stick the depth mesure into my cats' eyes. Nothing on the box about not doing that. Maybe I'll use the internal measuring jaws to check the width of my pee hole, that will be fun. :-)
BTW: that fired 10mm case I have on my desk is in fact a bit wider then 10mm, just like the reloading book said it would be.
