Helen, I have only been in my present home for 7 years and I couldn't live with my assortment of screwdrivers. That's what you desperately need in a 'new build.' I am not too handy with the old Black and Decker drill though. I need more practice with that old relic !! Roll eyes

PhiliPamInCoventry, 24" eh? It would appear that we finally have the measure of you. I have always liked to take comfort in the notion that, as a rule, size isn't necessarily everything. However, as a steel rule, I think we have to accept there being an exception. The long and short of it is that engineers would very likely have their own 6" rule and maybe even a personal 12". The employer would likely also provide 12" rules as the norm, and rules of greater length, 24" and 36" for example, should they be needed. In my line of work we needed to go the extra yard and ensure that a 48" steel rule was available in the workshop. I hope I haven't put a foot in it by posting at length on this?
Coventry born and still hanging in there.
