I wonder why a 45mm socket was ever made as the normal metric is 46mm. Anyway it was listed back in the late 60’s but not later. In reality it is near identical size wise to 1 3/4” but other dimensions and weight suggests it was a special forging.

Someone misplaced their recently purchased 10mm socket into a flea market selection which is now my newest snappy piece.

May be useful to add this info from Waterloo mid 1990’s here.

If possible iPad users would appreciate the Reply icon group to be moved to the left clear of conflicting with the up/down cursor arrows.

I missed that one but I park empty drawers upside down.

Here’s the system I’ve consolidated on, several generations from the same maker all interchangeable. Inside the drawers either plastic egg shell style organisers or a certain cutlery drawer liner giving 5 pockets. I was lucky to get a 1 trip hi-cube double door container so I always have...

Looks like a copy of a Swedish Bahco.

Depends as to how the drawers extract, straight out or have an obstacle ramp to negotiate? Probably need containers inside the drawers if similar items need to stay separated. At this size a full drawer should still be manageable but you have to take steps to avoid injury if wearing...

Damn annoying downunder here, just where my thumb is scrolling the iPad.

What and when was 2244-H used for? It is a forged piece with two semicircular collars welded or brazed on. The hex is 1 1/2” TIA

Looking at the list shows E suffix tools for Electricians. I’ve not seen any shown in the catalog and none seem to have been offered up yet. Checking my steadily growing Q-W collection reveals 3 examples, here’s what they are.

The 6” is pre 1960 The 10” is post 60 style but more recent with the post forging ID stamping so say 1970’s The 12” looks to be the thicker heavy carbon steel style which continued in production after Crestoloy alloy was introduced in the early 1930’s but difficult to date. Unplated could be...

I’m keeeping 40 year old B&S engines running down here, nothing is metric on these. Essential tools are.... 15/16 deep offset box end wrench for the flywheel nut. 13/16 spark plug socket with 3/8 drive ratchet. 9/16 6 point box end wrench for the blade holding bolt head. 1/2 box wrench if...

Power outlet would confirm.

Thinking about where all my missing tools are found..... They all turn up in the last place I look for them. YMMV

A nice sequenced set from the smallest upwards wherein the next size up restarts with a repeat of the previous jaw size. It is usual for British nuts and bolts to have the same head sizing. The set shown continues for quite a few more sizes but if you don’t have them you are getting into...

I’ll use my VG’s to crack Brazil nuts or Macadamia nuts. YMMV

Ask Tonto or The Lone Ranger?

I suspect the lower one is a Belzeryl decomposing to powder. Check mine in post #106
