Fits your finger tip like a thimble (note drawing on the box) -  for nut sizes from 3/16" to 3/8"

Boy, I can think of a time or two those would have came in handy. Never knew such a thing even existed.

PRE-OSHA for sure  & presumed people knew to unplug; discharge capacitors etc.   These & other "radio" wrenches were featured on two pages of the March 2006 MVWC Newsletter.

Got a set just like those in a box lot at MJD's Avoca auction this July.  First I've seen.  Neat wrenches.

I found a set of those about 5 years ago at the flea market. Gave them to a friend of my wife who collects and restores antique radios. I will find another set for myself to use.

If these were really great, they would be very popular and common.  They look like a great way to explore your finger and set your hair on fire.

Those are nice.   It's been years and i had totally forgotten such a critter existed.   There have been times when they would have come in handy (or is that fingery?). :tongue:
