Thanks for that Daniel. A most enlightening video. My Dad was in the
hardware business and I have had a set of wrenches(spanners) and sockets
made by a company called "Plumb", no longer in business. These are
wonderful tools, not plated so not slippery and have served me well for
60 years. I lost a 9/16" combination and purchased a replacement from a
hardware store. First time I used it and put some torque on it the jaws
spread on the open end! Using some colorful words I tossed the wrench
and it slid under my workbench. When looking for it, there was my
"Plumb" 9/16. Things happen for a reason. I have never tested them to
the limit but I guess they are "good-nuf".
Regards,
Dave W.
