While most newer vehicles use metric fasteners there are still many older one that use SAE or inch pattern tools as well as other machines and equipment you may run into so hang on to them

Ive got a few relatives that are tools. You can have them if you want. They're SAE too. Stupid ***** Everytime. As far as the tools in your tool box... Keep'em. Ive never regretted keeping something I rarely use but I sure wish there were things I didnt get rid off.
