True story. When I was in college I took my VW bug to a one man repair place and the guy did not own 1 metric tool. He said you don't need them and he knew what American size would work on everything. Guy was amazing. Had a 30 foot long work bench and no tool box. All the tools were just piled up on the bench but when he needed a certain wrench or whatever he just knew where he put it down.
