i find it cute because im pretty sure the military uses metric, and 24 hour time.

its 100% a quirk of hardware store culture. if you need metric dont even bother, just order off ebay.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure that most industries use metric in the US. I actually hate the imperic system with all of my soul because it's terrible, inconsistent, and metric is so much easier and everyone else uses it. Not to mention that we have to memorize conversions between the two units because metric is used pretty much anywhere that actually matters.

Inches and feet are better than metric, pretty much nothing else is(I love base 12)

i mostly dont like having to keep 2 sets of tools.

but then that comes back to the hardware store culture problem, they make more money if you buy two sets of tools, even though they dont sell fasteners that work with one of them.
