Americans and Millimeters or What's an mm? I didn't know this was so small

Over and over again I see customer complaints about size. The irony of this is that the complaints are usually on products where the size is listed in the product name. For all of those wonder what an mm is, its a millimeter. In an attempt to clarify and educate on the mysterious mm, I have posted an article on How Millimeters Translate into American complete with an MM to American Translation chart.

I realize many of our products do not have dimensions listed and we are working on that by listing dimensions in more of our product listings and including images showing the product next to a ruler - in inches.

I hope the article helps and makes you feel much smarter since you will now know all about mm's.
