Old Mutual Wealth came on board after the logistics were sorted. PPA had already spent the cash. This is the first year that the full weight of OMW is on board and it shows in the goodies bag. minimal unnecessary paper nice socks nice tool health snacks water and a nice branded water bottle all in a lovely useful drawstring bag babse, splat and Zebra 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted December 28, 2023 Share I got a Groove Tool Pro recently only to discover they use non-standard size hex bits, ¼” (6.35mm) hex drive is the standard and theirs are all 6mm. Now I can't customise the bits I carry by taking some of my own, for instance a bog standard Philips PH2 which should have been included in the first place or a bigger flat or whatever the need is. Why would they feel the need to re-invent the wheel and make a daft decision like this??! Edited December 28, 2023 by Skylark ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't possibly be that short sighted, it's a bizarre choice, the 1/4" HEX standard is so common it makes zero sense to use a proprietary or non-standard size. But whatever the case is it reduces the functionality and long term usefulness of the tool, which is sad because it is otherwise a really clever little tool.
