That's the one! I lost mine (possibly inherited from my dad) and haven't been able to find anything as compact for large nuts.
I'll be ordering one after the hols.
I'm not sure you can get them new anymore. Used ones pop up on Ebay now and again, making silly prices as they were used in quite a few
1950/60's car toolkits - some classic car nuts go mad for originality.
Thankyou!
Whilst pretty certainly a wind-up, there was just an outside chance that someone may make incrementally adjustable spanners which I hadn't heard of.
I must admit to not having come across 'woosh' in a usenet context, having used usenet for many years - and Google/Wikipedia offer little help. Anyone care to enlighten me (and probably others!)?
But I do understand PLONK - and that's where Mr Lowe is going. I hope he feels happier after getting that diatribe off his chest!
The sound of a joke or something flying rapidly just over the top of your head :-)
In common useage, not restricted to usenet.
