When that switch happened, the price of milk and paint jumped overnight.   Today, it is hard not to pay double for a wrench or socket set because they usually have both SAE and metric sizes. The funny part is that many torque wrenches have dual scales because many mechanics are not able to multiple by four and divide by three nor vice-versa, ironic because those are usually the mechanics who think they don't need a torque wrench.
