Any problems with snakes or scorpions there with all the rocks?
Nice... maybe next you can train Convoy to fly out and pick up those Airgun related packages. Heck with USPS, give them the "bird" if you will.
Some one at the factory years ago had a sense of humor, Found this wrench at work a while back.
its the only non traditional wrench in that entire set of wrenches from the same company, and its pretty old, not sure how far back the non standard sizes go, the stamping could be off, either way I still think its funny as *(&^, especially when asking one of my interns to grab the wrench by size. Or if I ask for the 9\16 on the wall. they can never find it (technically true i guess).
I'm wondering if that's a witworth size? I've got a socket that size also I inherited from my dad. I don't think I've ever used it.
The Whitworth Standard was created by an Englishman named Joseph Whitworth in 1841. He also Invented the "Whitworth Sharpshooters" rifle that saw use by the Confederates in the American Civil War.

I don't think I've ever used it.If it is close to a 9/16 it is not Whitworth.Whitworth goes by the bolt size... not the head sizeFor example a 1/4-20 bolt would use a 7/16 SAE wrench... but in Whitworth a 1/4-20 would use a 1/4" wrench.My 9/16 Whitworth is equal to a modern 1"SAE or 25mm tool.QuoteThe Whitworth Standard was created by an Englishman named Joseph Whitworth in 1841.
