Just what he needs!

[R W Burgess]

Don't buy him clothes when you can fulfill his need for more tools. This tool is perfect for the man who can not read or has stepped on his reading glasses. Every half wit mechanic needs this tool!

 

You can thank me later!

My wife, bless her, refers to Phillips and regular screw drivers as + or - screw drivers.

[caddyshack]

Sweet, I need one for my right hand threads and left hand threads.

[padgett]

Thought the left handed monkey wrench was kept next to the striped paint and muffler bearings.

[Xander Wildeisen]

That is a Idaho socket set.

[dictator27]

Now that really is a "combination" wrench!

We would always screw around with new kids and ask them to get an adjustable wrench. When they got back with the wrench we would tell them that the one they had was "metric", not the one we need!  Xander, I thought an Idaho socket set was a "channel lock pliers". 

[Dan Marx]

Sorry to inform you, but those "channel lock pliers" are an Arkansas speed wrench.  Apparently not raised in the north.

[padgett]

Not to be confused with the mexican speed wrench (five or ten pound) or the blue nosed wrench.

[Ronnie]

That wrench is a great idea! I've always used a crescent wrench for standard bolts and vice grips for metric bolts. That tool will allow me to have one tool that fits both.

[Rooney3100]

Now that's a tool I need  I can finally fix my Muffler Bearing and the Canuten valve on my truck....LOL...:)

Anybody got any tartan paint? MacGregor Tartan please.

 

Pass me the crocodile spanner (pukpuk spanner in PNG, pron. pookpook).

Wayne, I know it works for SAE and metric.  However, what about us who have British cars that use Whitworth.  Perhaps, there is an accessory to the wrench for those who need that British standard.  I am very disappointed that you did not include the British version.  I do have a left handed Monkey wrench for Whitworth nuts so they do make them.  Very surprised about how little you know about tools.

 

 

Why this year for Xmas, Santa is bringing me a left handed T-shirt for the Monkey wrench.  All you have to do is ask Gloria.  This way I will know which hand to use with which tool, instead of having to guess all the time.  Don't even start me on screwdrivers, let alone pneumatic grinders.  To top it off when I use lug wrenches I have to guess which shirt I have to wear and when I do late 40's Chrysler products I go nuts so I hope you are happy.

I have an app on my smart(?) phone that allows it to be plugged into the wrench so that it can be used on Whitworth fasteners.  This includes both the right and left hand Whitworth fasteners.  If you do a standard Groggle Search under the term, "double ended, medium torque, multi-span, post-calibrated  wrenching device", you'll see the app listed.  It can be yours for a fee of $19.96!

[bill pritchett]

No smart phone but I added an app to my air compressor so I know which way to turn the wrench on when I plug it it.

British Standard Whitworth (BSW) is one of a number of imperial-unit-based screw thread standards which use the same hexagonal bolt head and nut sizes, the others being British Standard Fine thread (BSF) and British Standard Cycle. These three are collectively called Whitworth threads.

 

Santa uses North Pole left twists if I remember correctly.  He has to plug in thought as he runs at 330W.

 

[Restorer32]

And of course all this is reversed south of the Equator.

Keep a watch for the RR & B F-head engines at car shows this season. You will see the wrench in post #1 is definitely used for servicing the exhaust manifold studs for that engine.

I used to drive my nephews crazy when I told them to get me an adjustable wrench from the tool box and then sent them back for the "Metric" one. Took them a while to catch on to it.

[Annie G]

Do they come in girl's hand sizes? :-/

[Dan Marx]

While we know the wrench fits the Canuten Valve, don't forget that darn Canuten valve is connected to the Framis which is a bigger problem when it comes finding that Arkansas Speed wrench in the correct size.

[60FlatTop]

It does not seem so long ago that old men played those tricks on me, told me about "coming up on the rocks and shoals", pinching with their gnarly old fingers,  and all that other mean hearted stuff. Now that I am one, I remember and don't abuse anyone but old farts.

 

A very early memory is sitting in a barber shop listening to the owner tell his cronies about a young kid asking for a shave and how he had given him one that would hurt for a week. And they told me I grew up with little respect for my elders or authority.

  Grog, I googled it and it came up with your post!

I am sure glad you guys are using my accumulated wisdom for your shipping this year. I spent many years in my red neck garage to earn my crooked fingers and broken ankle.

I have an adjust-a-box... somewhere (don't think have see in a decade or two).

 

Old Jags need Whitworth. See here.

When we first bought the 365,xxx mile 1960 Valiant V-200, it was burning oil at a rate of 15 miles per quart. Prior to affording the 60/40 mix for 4 successive oil & filter changes to free up and flush the sludge, my factory-untrained Muck-kanik used his Left-handed SAE Vice Grip to install the J. C. Wit-Less Smoke Sifter to minimize hazards to our New Jersey mosquitos.
