Okay, serious question now-
In what applications are you finding the use of SAE allen screws these days?
In my industry metric took over in the mid 90's.

Motorcycles, specifically Harley-Davidsons. For most of the hex fasteners, a short non-ball-end works best. But an example fastener that needs a long ball-end hex (1/4") is the shift linkage.

For service entrances, the lugs to tighten the mains are usually hex.

The real slick deal here is not buying a crappy Harley.

SAE is still in use in the Electrical field. Lugs in Panels and Transformers use standard hex heads.

Looks like they updated packaging. Found a few in my area. They're in a longer/wider package. New ones are in a circular package.
