Well, of course, wrench-for-wrench the cost is the same, but you can cover the
_complete_ span of sizes more cheaply in the english sizes.
11 metric wrenches gives you 8 thru 18, which is effectively only 1/4" thru
11/16ths, which
is not usually big enough to be complete. You will need at least a 20mm.
The 11 english sizes are pretty complete as a set.
Unless you want 1/32's too. I have a couple of those, but 1/16ths is usually
adequate in an
11 wrench set.......

P.S. At which pressure were you looking for the triple point of water?
