I just saw this ebay ad. I wonder if my adjustable wrenches are metric or English?

Metric or English doesn't really matter with an adjustable but being a right or left handed wrench will make a big difference. However in screw drivers you definitely need both sets.

on one side of my adjustable wrenches it says 250mm and on the other side of the handle it says 10"

so I think they are both...

Must be 'wrenching' to take sides.

As you know, everything in Canada must be in metric. So if you plan on using an adjustable wrench north of the boarder, it had better not be imperial or you better watch out for the metric FBI!

Never mind that. For me, I have to buy the left handed version because I'm a freak of nature. It's nearly impossible to find those..
