No details about the ratchet (tooth count or whatever) or what socket sizes included? Seems like a decent deal though since they're made in Taiwan, but I'll probably pass since these are metric (have a lot of sets already), but I would jump on this if the set was standard.
who uses SAE?

(SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers -- they made a guideline for tools. Developed back in 1905 by...yup, you probably guessed it, Henry Ford.)
Nearly everything now in the world is metric, except for antiques and a weird "clingy" attitude for SAE fasteners in the USA. Go into a hardware store, and the SAE outnumbers metric like 10 to 1 -- it's genuinely really odd. They even call SAE "standard". Sorry, but that's not a "standard" anywhere else.

who uses SAE?
Installing a trailer hitch on a new vehicle? All SAE bolts are included with the USA hitch kit.
Replacing your garage door? SAE
Hanging a new TV ceiling mount? SAE
Furnace or Plumbing work? SAE
Buying a box of lag bolts for a wood project? SAE
New Taiwanese drill press? SAE
Adjusting gate or Fence hardware? SAE

In the States, SAE is everywhere except cars.

The council that was supposed to oversee the changeover to metric was eliminated by the president in the 80s, and no new one was ever put back in place.
So every homeowner in the States has 2 sets of tools - one for the auto, and one for the household.
