This may be more of a car question, but I couldn't find an auto repair group to ask. I need to pickup a last minute Christmas present for my dad. I was going to buy him a dog-bone socket wrench. I'm not sure if I should get the SAE or metric. I really don't understand the difference between the two. Any suggestions? If it helps, we live in the U.S. and most of the cars he works on were made between 1988 and
2004 with one being made in the 70s. The brands of the cars/trucks are mostly Chevrolets and Fords.- posted
