Whitworth Brits: King ****, Britool, Beford

[71Datsun510Wagon]

I picked up this box at an auction on the weekend for $30.

The vast majority was made in Britain, mostly whitworth, some metric, some AF (SAE). Most wrenches were King ****, with a smattering of Britool, Bedford and Sheffield.

A couple of wrenches by german manufacturer Walter and a tiny Stahwille. IDK what a 3.2 mm wrench would be used for but I have one now !

Some brass rod, a Stanley screwdriver and vice grip, a small Record pipe wrench, a Whitehouse ball peen. Even the rulers and feeler gauges were Brit made.

The toolbox looks ex-miltary but no markings on the tools.

A couple more pics here if you're interested:

3.2mm is equivalent to 1/8" so it is probably a carryover of some kind, I also have a Facom 3.2mm wrench and have been pondering it's original need.

$30.00... YOU ****!!!

I'd be interested in one of those box end sets of 4 since you have 2 sets.

2oolhound,
Great User ID BTW!

Sorry the DBE wrenches are a mix of Whitworth, Metric and AF. No duplicate sets available.

American Lockpicker,
