(I can't be the correct one now) I just googled to check my previous answer. Triton do have Systainers but I don't know if they actually make them.

Yeah but they're made by Tanos just like the Mirka. Fien also uses Tanos for the few items they offer in systainers.

 

For the record it says Tanos in the top left corner above the black label. :)

Name 5 types of cordless tools with one of it's features/specifications that always uses imperial units to describe it, regardless of whether its a metric or imperial country?

 

Bonus point: Name one that is the reverse of this (always metric). I can't actually answer this so perhaps it can just generate discussion.

Circular saws - blade size

Impact wrenches - socket size 

impact drivers - bit attachment size

angle grinders - disc size

drill drivers - chuck attachment thread

 

Almost. I see metric too commonly used for angle grinder discs, at least it's common here in AUS (125mm for 5inch, 115mm for 4.5inch, 100mm for 4inch).

If I'm not mistaken some of the German companies make the metric equivalent of the 1/4 hex chuck bit.

I think I'm in over my head with this question. :-\

 

I was counting on Drills always described as 3/8 or 1/2 chucks, however, now I think I've seen metric used somewhere (10mm or 13mm). 

 

I'm confident impact wrenches always use imperial. 

 

I was also counting on Impact drivers always being described as 1/4 inch, and circular saws and mitre saws as 6.5 inch etc (I should have known this was wrong). 

 

Perhaps impact wrenches are the only one.

Circular saws and  angle grinders  are In Metric in Belgium/Netherlands :)

Makita lists them in metric here in Finland as well, but a most of the guys still use inches when describing the size. Heck, even Makita product numbers have the inch size. (dga452 is 4.5 inch, dga 504 is 5 inch, dga700 is 7 inch, etc).

 I was not implying the size of the chuck, but the thread it uses to attach the chuck. 1/2"-20UNF is definitely imperial.
