The other day, some overseas mail-order tools arrived incredibly fast, but\u2026
Hmm? Can that even happen?

Yeah, that’s so like me\u2026 (*’\u03c9’*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First off\u2026
it’s a nice attachment for a certain die grinder,<\/a>but\u2026
( ,,`\uff65\u03c9\uff65\u00b4)Hmm? It won’t fit\u2026

Die grinders sold in Japan have a collet diameter of either 3 or 6 mm, but this one is 6.35 mm?
( ,,`\uff65\u03c9\uff65\u00b4)That’s oddly thick\u2026

This must be in inches. Does America still use inches? Like, always?
Turns out it’s 1\/4 inch.
I managed to track one down eventually, but the whole situation was anything but sweet.

The other one was an air tool I ordered thinking it would be a game-changer.
When I tried it out right away, it was “a bit too powerful and dangerous.”
I installed an air regulator to adjust it, but it’ll take a little time to get the hang of it.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like almost nothing you buy works exactly as you imagined it would.
Basically, when we want something, our imagination tends to run wild and our expectations get way too high, so we need to be careful about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
