Default The Perfect Tool

Here's a last minute little stocking stuffer you might want to add to your workshop, or perhaps give to a mechanically inclined friend.

One end is Metric, the other Imperial.

They rated those double ended crescent wrenches by the size of the jaws. eg 8-10 inch had one jaw the size of an 8" and the other the size of a 10" crescent. I don't know what ever happened to mine.

No way with metric, sae, or others
This wrenchs are always forgeted at lowest part of toolbox, if one end is with rust and do not move, we have, possibly, the other end . . .

You can use the next size up BSF version.

When you find one, I have the manuals on lambskin vellum bound in four-ring binders.

Sometimes when doing manual labour, my mind wanders back to remember classroom lessons drummed into me by an old master craftsman.

'Fish or cut bait.'
'Use the correct tool correctly.'
'Filbert head screwdrivers for the adjustment rods to the variable volubility control panel.' and,
'Grapple grommets are not to be used as beer coasters.'

Why he thought the last one was important, I'll never know.
