But here in Canada , I have to deal with both metric and imperial sizes of fasteners I have two sets of wrenches and sockets containing the most popular sizes for fasteners and that way I do not have to worry about rounding the corners on the nuts and bolts causing more grief for myself

I take the same approach. No use messing up fasteners if it isn't necessary. With US, Japanese, Italian, and British bikes, I have SAE, Metric, and Whitworth in my tool box.

I've got a set of British tools that I got for my BSA 441. I'll have to look again but I'm pretty sure they say Wentworth, not Whitworth. What's the deal there Scotty?

The brand may be Wentworth, but the standard is called Whitworth, developed by Joseph Whitworth in 1841. Also known as BSW, British Standard Whitworth.
