Rose Joints
I've noticed people seem to prefer imperial joints over metric. Is there any particular reason?
BTW this is mostly out of interest I'll most likely use metric because I have no imperial taps.

Is there any particular reason why there rated for a higher load? Is it just the case that thats people prefer imperial so they make the better ones
in that size?

most race cars use aerospace grade joints, and since the USA has the biggest aircraft industry the high spec joints are cheaper in imperial sizes.
