I remember that I bought some from Tandy once. There seemed to be a lot of
keys I thought, and as you say, when I checked we had both imperial and
metric. Obviously, Tandy being a US company had sourced sets with all the
keys in all the places it sold.
The keys were fine, but the way of attaching tem to the large ring they
were on was cruddly a kind of coiled spring around the hex , which meant you
could take them off of course, but it was a sod of a job to put them back
again which in the end meant a lot of them got lost!

Anyone care to guess what went wrong:-)?

Imperial vs metric?

Indeed.

But at least he came in and said he had a problem. And the problem is now
sorted.

Obviously never heard of the word imperial before and was amazed at the
markings on the tool that he had never noticed.
