There won't be much use for SAE tools in 10 years or so, except among
antiquers. The car mfgrs and tractor mfgrs are all metric. John Deere
started going metric maybe 30 yrs ago. Our 1974 new tractor was mostly
metric except for the tires and wheels. Other than JD, all tractors are
made in Yurp or asia. Even the fram stores have metric bolt displays
nearly as big as the SAE bolt displays.
Imperial Gal = 160 FL oz = 4 imperial Qt (40 Fl oz) = 5 US Qts (32 FL
Oz.) All stuff I know off the top of my head.
I am old enough I think in oz, gal, CC and Liters, and also in Inches to
miles and from mm to kliks and can easily convert back and forth.
I Refuse to use newton-meter as it make NO sense, but I am comfortable
with Ft-lb or M-kg.
Cycles are still cycles, and don't Hert unless you are well grounded and
amperage is high. øhertz

I am old enough to think in inches and miles and pounds etc but my
children were educated in a metric world and they think centimeters
and meters for the most part.
I have arrived at a state where temperature makes sense to me in
metric now. For a long while I converted but I now know that 20 is ok
and 30 is hot etc.
I still convert to miles per gallon to figure out how well my vehicle
is doing but of course I am thinking imperial gallons vs us gallons so
it would make little sense to you anyway.
A bit of a pain to have both sets of wrenches but it is just another
excuse to buy more tools and a bigger toolbox.
