Re: cart

I tried the adjustable wrench first on the metric scew but too bulky to
work well. My solution was to get the coffee can down and sort through
all the extra nuts, bolts and what not and come up with something more
substantial and not metric.

That bench I put together a few days ago was made in China. Metric

follow. Only problem was the brass Philips-head screws that were 
supposed to be screwed into the hardwood slats. My power screwdriver 
kept stripping out the cross. The screws were metric size, also. Had to 
take one with me to HD to find an approximate equal in stainless steel.
