They also have an SAE set:

However, these don't have the lever for switching directions (you have to flip 
the wrench over).  I think the ability to 
switch directions easily is worth the extra money.  For instance, to remove a 
rusted-on or partly stripped nut it often 
helps to go back-and-forth, and removing, flipping and re-applying the wrench 
is extra hassle.
