I think there is a hammer for standard and metric nails to go in that tool box.

Dane, that type of shifter came out many years ago, long before we went metric. I am surprised that a Rover owner/driver did not recognise that as a Whitworth and SAE combination.

I actually have an adjustable wrench, Craftsman if I recall correctly, that is marked 3/4 on one side and 19mm on the other.

Just to paint the full picture, my father was a carpenter by trade. Now imagine two framing nails. One head up and the other point up.
When helping him frame a house once he told me that the nails that I had pulled from my apron that had the point up were for the other side of the house.

In a past life, I worked in a steel fabrication shop. We had a tool affectionately called "The Old Man" due to the fact that it would make an old man out of you if you had to use it. One of the "helpers" was told to go get "The Old Man". He came back with the boss.
