I have a set or Craftsman wrenches with both metric and
English standard pieces. . . . and it's difficult to
sort them quickly.

If the two sets are marked with differently
coloured tape (round the shank) sorting
into the two sets takes no time.

I cleaned mine with rubbing alcohol, then dipped each end into
some oil paint; works well and soon's you use one, the paint in
the jaws slips right off. Tried tape, taped just the SAE, don't
need to do both, but the tape doesn't stay. Plus it bothered my
hands on the larger wrenches.

FWIW,
