Craftsman Whitworth wrench set
« on: May 07, 2014, 04:38:48 PM »
Hello all. going thru my old tool box and found these , brought back good memories. I bought the Whitworth box wrench set from Sears back in 1967 so the I wouldn't bugger up the fasteners on my then new 750 Norton Atlas. I still have the wrenches, but I sure wish that I still had the bike. The tools are Craftsman -V- , size from 1/8 W to 9/16 W. If you are not familiar with the British Whitworth  standards system, the nominal sizes in inches are not related to the fastener head hex size, but rather to the bolt stem size, ie.  the 9/16 W wrench fits a 1" hex.

Lemme help you match up threads!



That's a cool old set. I don't suppose you still have the green bag they came in?

Forum is being weird. Loading the picture directly returns a 403 error (Exists, Permission denied)
Either the forum software decided to moderate them for no reason, or the web server is a bit confused ;P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Folks- This is an ongoing problem that I have little to do with, nor do I know what to do about.

Photos hosted on other photo hosting sites will post just fine.
