A while back I bought a car from a woman who's husband had died. With it, I bought alot of his old tools. They include snap-ons, herbrand, mac, proto, gray, craftsman etc. While researching, I found this site that may be of interest to some. http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/ |

Speaking of tools, who can tell me what these sizes of Craftsman wenches are: 5/16W, 3/8W, 7/16W, 1/2W, 9/16W, etc? No, these are not USA standards not metric. You Brits will know. |

quote: British Standard Whitworth (BSW) is one of a number of imperial unit based screw thread standards which use the same bolt heads and nut hexagonal sizes, the others being British Standard Fine thread (BSF) and British Standard Cycle. These three are collectively called Whitworth threads.

Good going Larry. In the old days, when I had an MG TC, I used these tools on a regular basis. Now they sit in the back of my tool box. |

I've been in the Motorcycle business for over 40 some odd years, I remember guys bringing me their BSA, Triumphs, Norton, matchless ETC Bikes because they couldn't get them apart because of munged-up and rounded bolts & nuts because nobody knew what british standard, whitworth, (sometimes called wentworth), nuts, bolts or wrenches were back in the day. toys |
