If it was taken face on, so you could see how each wrench was adjusted, and see that the wrench over 11/16 was opened wider then the one over 3/16, this would be a funnier picture. One assumes that the wrenches are adjusted to the correct size, but you can't tell because of the angle that the picture was taken at, and the fact that the smaller sizes are further away from the camera.

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 They left out the combo wrenches.

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Wow! That's quite a collection of nut/bolt rounders!
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 But does the collection include any left handed ones?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 I have three crescent wrenches: one small, one medium, and one large.

Pat Riot Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 You can always find the 10mm sockets right next to the 1/2” sockets….that are also missing…

Okay, that does it Alpo. I'm not inviting you to any parties!
Pat Riot Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 No one ever talks about the 3” 3/8” drive extensions that also become completely transparent when needed.

Alpo Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Several years back I was reading - probably in Hot Rod - an article about a mechanic on a professional stock car team. He said that he could temporarily fix anything with orange sunshine, silver magic, and a blue tipped wrench. And they went on to explain that orange sunshine with some heavy-duty industrial adhesive, silver magic was duct tape, and a blue-tipped wrench was an acetylene cutting torch.

Then installed a new bolt.

Dustin Checotah Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 7 hours ago, Sixgun Sheridan said: I worked as maintenance for a steel fabrication company. I was doing some major repair work on our sand blast system. I had a new guy working for me and when I couldn't move a bolt and nut from deep within the gritty mess below the machine I sent him up to the maintenance cage to get some tools one of the things I told him was to get the thermal adjustment tool. He came back with everything but the cutting torch. He asked me what it was and I told him. Now he knows.
