Default metric or sae sizes?

not sure where to post this question...but since i'll soon be working on my 95 accord ex, i decided to post here...

i am tired of borrowing wrenches and sockets from friends/relatives, so i'm thinking of buying my own to add to the few i already have. does the accord (or honda/acura, in general) only require metric sizes? i see a lot of wrench sets out there that come with both metric and sae, and in different size ranges, so, im not also sure which sizes i would really need

thanks for any input...

I don't think I've encountered an SAE bolt on my Accord. But I've far from wrenched them all.

I haven't come across any inch-size bolts yet. That's over a few Hondas & an Acura since 1995. They're all metric.

a 10mm wrench and a Phillips head will allow you take apart 90% of the car

heres the most common sizes I encounter: 10mm 12mm, 13 mm, 15mm, 17mm. like stated earlier you can just about fix anything with 10mm and every oil plug i have seen was 17mm. the only big azz size i need was like 32mm for my axle nut on my 96 odyssey. Everything should be metric on all hondas. if its not, then someone else put it there after the fact.
