Thread: It was a good tool hunting day

Re: It was a good tool hunting day Ah... now that makes sense, thanks for the explaination Sundays haul wasn't quite as big, but I did manage to find a 1/2" Plomb ratchet

the double end wrenches were made to get a full set of open end wrenches in a smaller area for storage reasons. many of my contractors on Fort Hood are required to have these in a full set up to 1 1/8. they also want them to have baby tool boxes. They move from motor pool to motor pool every couple of months. the company doesnt have to move the boxes if they are all small and do not weight 5-6000 pounds

The little 9x10 MM is an ignition wrench. My old SAE sized ones are made the same way, open end one size, box end the next bigger, then repeated, half a step bigger, so in metric you would have another wrench that was 10 open by 11 box, 11 open by 12 box, etc. I think it is so you can have a wrench for each end of a fastener that has the same size for both the the head and the nut.
