> with a standard set of imperial or metric tools, you're more likely to find your imperial tools working with with you

... when working with imperial, you mean? Or do you mean regardless if you target metric or imperial?

Actually, I take it back. As I said earlier, I mostly use vintage imperical hand tools. I've just been looking into modern metric tools and I'm finding that they're actually imperial, as in they come in sizes like 0.25"/3.2mm. So long as they're not rounding them to whole millimeters, they'll have the same ratio as the imperical tools.

I guess you can use whatever number system you care for.

Thank you for making me think about this.
