name my tool :)

I have this wrench from my dad and none of the numbers don't add up. It says 3/8 7/16 & 28 but none are the right sizes.

Any ideas on what this would of been for? The 3/8 side is closer to 5/8 or so and the 7/16 side is closer to 3/4

Fittings on pipe and tubing? The stamped sizes are probably pipe sizes.

Whitworth spanners, the size on the wrench indicates the width across the flats of the nut or bolt

 

[greasemonkey44]

whitworth fastners are based off the thickness of the bolt instead of the head; that would be my guess

If it were mine, i would name it bart.

Frederick Bartholomew Whitworth...


Best name for a spanner ever... Actually if Sir Joseph Whitworth
had a son I could so easily see him being named that.

Page-Storms drop fordge....

Correct.

And it's not Whitworth. The 28 is the size under the old Industry Standard system and denotes an OE wrench of sizes 19/32" x 25/32".
