    RIP, old friend...

    I am pleased that you saw fit to honor your now-dead-and-soon-to-be-forgotten angle grinder with something of a eulogy.... that's far more than I would have done for the unit I am currently abusing in every way imaginable.

    Yes. When the container was dropped in 7th grade science class, the stuff ran every whichway all over the floor. We had fun "sweeping" it back into one place on our hands and knees, using sheets of notebook paper as "brooms". We finally got it corralled, scooped it up with sheets of paper, and...

    Fleet of Canada

    ^ They are murky waters - I've never actually figured it out myself - Penens / Fleet / Challenger / Proto were at some point all part of something called "Pendleton Industries" - I suppose I should probably check out AA's write up on it and maybe understand the connections.

    Point taken. To be fair, I never "used" the thing. I just owned it for several years. It's gone now! I remember first holding it - it just felt weird. Maybe I'm too used to nice smooth handles on my 1/4" drive ratchets.

    'Standard' adjustable wrench

    Hello @DougTee and welcome to the site. 13.5 cm = 5.314 inches - which puts it into what we refer to as the "bicycle wrench" category. You didn't put your location into your avatar, so I don't know which side of the Atlantic are. Your use of the metric measurements makes me think you might be...
