I thought you had museum pieces :) and a rather large collection.
Just adding some additional details about these odd tools, if anyone else stumbles across this and finds it interesting.
Mossberg 1912 Tools Catalog had no /64 inch tools
Mossberg 1918 Tools Catalog had the /64 inch tools...
My bad. I did some more research.
The intended purpose is on the pamphlet. It is intended for fasteners, whose head of bolts or nut across the flats (AF), is 1/64 " less than the size stamped on the socket. So a Mossberg socket with 29/64 " stamped on it was intended for a 7/16 " AF nut or head...
Documenting and saving an interesting thing with the Hinsdale wrenches. We have the example above, and the example below.
In the sample above
HW5 has openings of 1+3/32 as well as 1+13/64 stamped on it
HW4 has openings of 59/64 and 1+1/64 stamped on it
HW3 has openings of 45/64 and 13/16...
Yea I remember these two photos. I was just wondering, since it has been some time, if you had found your calipers? By any chance without calipers, could you shift it over so you get one "tic" on the ruler to made up with the edge of the opening to see if there's any clearance? Meaning put this...
I'm also coming to the conclusion that Mossberg at one point restamped all of there x/64 " tools to the "normal" values like due to confusion. Is this accurate?
Sample A
Sample B
Both Sample A and Sample B have the same part number 363. But Sample A has 3/4 stamped on the handle while Sample B...
Thanks for confirming. That was the conclusion I was coming to, documented spec only, and not stamped on the tool.
Any chance you could please measure one your x/64 " mossberg tools with a caliper please to see if there is any tolerance over the x/64 " value stamped on it? I'm suspecting that...
So looking at the Williams stuff, it looks like they advertised openings in x/64 " increments on the tool catalogs, but the tools themselves were stamped with x/64 " - 1/64 " increments? Is this accurate?
So a 41/64 " advertised openings in the tool catalog would be stamped with 5/8 " on the...
Does anyone know manufacturers that made tool sets like sockets and wrenches that come with across the flat dimensions specified in X/64 "? For example 21/64 ". I would imagine only a limited amount of tool companies would have made tools in such sizes, and that the list would be rather small...
I'm looking for tools that are specified in 64th of an inch for a 29/64 " socket. Sockets, or wrenches.
Please let me know if anyone has any they would be willing to part with.
When tool companies that offer "Limited LIfetime Warranty" on their tools, how many times do they calculate in their equation that you will warranty the tool for? Not sure if there's a general rule of thumb?
Price of Tool to Customer = Base Price of Tool to Manufacturer * X
What is X? Meaning...
My main concern really is that because there are no known fakes and pictures of these fakes for this exact tool, but that there are clearly fakes on the market, because they are being sold brand new on Temu at 33 % off - The fakes are really REALLY good for this tool, and we cannot differentiate...
I see that knock offs for the 2967-20 high torque impact wrench are on Temu. They were selling brand new for about $200, when at HD they are $300. So an obvious fake. Tried to find photos of the knock offs on Temu but all I can find are the stock photos of the legit thing. Anyone have a...
