Title: From the Sunday Flea
Post by: lptools on July 10, 2023, 08:55:20 PM

Nice set of Allen  (brand) Drivers, replaceable / removable shanks, hollow pass through handles. I don't know why the post photo is sideways, but if I click on it it rotates to correct orientation!

Hello, Skip. I could not find any info on complete set of the T-Handles. Here is a list of what I do have. I would be interested in any that you have to fill in the blanks! Thanks, Lou

Beautiful se of Allen handle wrenches.
From the era of electro-mechanical repair I guess. Teletype, adding machines etc...
 very commonly used just to remove knobs.

How to measure? across the flats?

also a couple that are similar but different brand

Bristol and Unbrako

Hello, skip . Yes, across the flats, either in the broach, or on the shank. I use a digital micrometer that gives a fractional readout. If you have a way to measure accurately with a different type of micrometer, I can do the conversion. Are you going to Donnelly's? I will be set up there if you want to bring them along  :grin:
