It was a home hardware and most of the longer ones with nice features were inches only. There were a bunch of metric only ones, too, but it’s nice to have both when some furniture descriptions have only one or the other because the tape then handles the conversion without having to remember if that 2.2 factor is inches to cm or kg to lbs or both.
Though it could be that whoever decides what products to stock at home Depot is just better at their job than whoever does it at home hardware, or maybe I’m in the minority locally of wanting both and preferring metric if I have to choose one.
