My Posts This: Topic Forum | The metric system is the way to go, but unfortunately, it's a slow, slow transition. I don't have a single metric tool in my box at work, mostly only 12 point SAE sockets and wrenches. Try going to a hardware store here to buy a door or windows in metric measurements and they wouldn't know what you were talking about. I did see a metric tape measure at Lowe's that I'm about to go get, don't see many of those around. I'm sure eventually the US will be completely converted, domestic cars have gone mostly metric, the aviation industry is starting to, but it is a long ways before it will be everything here.
