I just bought a new socket set (for car repairs) as I lost my last

car owners.
Still plenty of new stuff being sold using imperial. New rotary lawn
mower - the bolt that holds the blade on has a 9/16 inch head.
I expect if it has a Briggs and Stratten (USA) engine it will be all
imperial.
A lot of disability scooters are imperial.
