Spanners in feet and inches and things that are a relic of the British Empire. Not many things you’d actually use them for nowadays unless you had something fairly old.

I hardly ever use my metric wrenches or sockets, but that’s because my project car is twice the age of most Oppos. That said, I’m still missing my 10mm sockets.

I live in a land of multicultural measurement systems. And cheap fasteners with very nominal head sizes. Therefore, my imperial spanners and sockets get almost as much to do as the metric ones.

My 7/16 gets the most use of any of my tools.

Eh, mine are mostly metric but I make it work with Imperial, usually with very little rounding of bolt heads. Having every mm from 4-22 or so definitely helps. They do it all.

I’m convinced the 7/16 box wrench is the missing sock of imperial sized hand tools. Somewhere there are miiiiiiillllions of them, guarded by the gnomes, dragons, night shift assemblers or spirits that stole them.

The English counterpart of the 10mm. For sure.

My SAAB requires metric and standard wrenches...

My 73 Plymouth has a few metric bolts. My Express is a horrible mixture. My Civic pure gravy, I think you can take almost the entire car apart with four different wrenches.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a non-metric tool. That imperial stuff seems so... 19th century?

That’s very odd. I can’t think why Saab would use Imperial fastenings unless they changed everything for the American market.
I could understand some imperial fastenings in the Triumph engine they had on the 99 at first before they redesigned it.
