Yup, I wish they would split the set into 2, SAE and Metric. Would like a cheaper, lighter Metric only set.er34er34 wrote: ↑ If you are a mechanic, you already have the tools.
If you are just getting into this hobby, you most likely have no use for SAE unless you are into classic cars. I don't think I've seen a post-2000 American car with SAE fasteners - all Metric.
Only use for SAE I've encountered is in some plumbing(though you can manage in most cases with a wrench).
Not many people using socket sets for plumbing, adjustable wrenches for the win.
Aside from working on my car / wheel changes etc., I find a socket set is rarely needed in day to day life. I guess I also use it for lawnmower maintenance.
