your right,  I bought one and it was delivered today.  it will be a while before I can use it.

 they made me sign an agreement to read their 25 page book on ""HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEIR TOOL."

 plus I had to agree to watch a 30 minute video on the safe use of it.

 also, I had to promise not to use it as a nut cracker.

 after thinking about it for a while, I returned it because it does not operate on batteries.

 Happy Holidays to all.

Yeah, yeah, but the day after you pass certification for using it, you'll stumble over a Jowett Jupiter or Armstrong-Siddeley Hurricane at a price you just can't turn down, and then you'll need to get the Whitworth model.

And don't forget, if you work on old machinery, that you need the model for square nuts/capscrews.  The wrenches for hex nuts won't round off the corners on the square nuts nearly as well as the correct model.

I got a set of those, but they only have a wrench on one end.  And, have the inch spec, and metric spec on the same side!

Those with the wrench on just one end are the factory seconds.  Funny thing is, there are LOTS of factory seconds out there!
