    Yawn.

    Like this is the first time OP has heard of other units.

    Why do you use Celsius when Kelvin exists?

    Most likely I learned metric long before OP was even born, in the US ( it’s been taught in the US since the late 60’s).

    You want us to throw away all our tools overnight? Recalculate every recipe, re-tool every process (with concomitant errors), etc, etc, etc, overnight? Are you paying for this?

      To the best of my knowledge, everywhere that has converted so far has just started making new things in metric. Yes, that leaves a weird state where you may see signs in one or the other, for example, but over time it resolves. Tools in other sizes would continue to be made as long as they needed to in order to maintain the old stuff until that gets replaced.
