What's on your bench today?

Blimey, I started in Ag engineering in the mid 70's, and did not even use whitworth then!!

 

Just carried the flaming things around for years in the bottom of the tool box, just in case.

 

Seen plenty of folk try to use spanners that 'sort of fit' though.

 

:lol: yeah me too. Then they wounder why there open ends are all sprayed open..... Or they slip and they have no knuckles left. :laugh1:

 

I will get some pics up of these tractors. But then by now everyone should know I'm rubbish at getting pics.

I have a Whitworth spanner which fits pushbike wheel nuts, 9/16" AF and 14mm. It gets used quite a bit to hold "the other end"

You're not rubbish at getting pictures, they're just usually upside down!

Metric is handy and oh so simple. In school, we had to deal with the beginning of metric in UK engineering, Whitworth Coarse & Fine, American Coarse & Fine and others. Most important to know which in order to avoid slips on nuts/bolts. But more important when you had to cut/tap threads to match presented work or odd nuts/bolts. And if you were preparing threads on lathes. It tended to go down badly, if you got setup, only to find you'd mis-identified the thread and or it's pitch.

I hated the threads with a serious passion. I didn't really get the hang of it, got it to a point but just didn't get it to a high standard. It was pants.
