Drawings of some tools...

Hmmm, once you get to 10,000 visits Bob, you should make a golden something or other. A screw, hammer or perhaps some sort of flailing instrument of mass death. er...maybe not the last one.

Thanks Norm. Goodnight.

And no golden bloody hammer over here - not yet at least.....

This is a wonderful thread! Every time I visit the forum these days, I save this thread for last -- like dessert, the sweetest part of the meal! Thanks for all the great work!

Wow! Is that ever a nice thing to say. Thank you very much, Glen, on behalf of myself and all the other contributors to this thread.

Everybody is drawing tools this thread is very long.

This "tool" has always intrigued me. It is very useful; it has a very odd shape. For lack of a better name I call it a wrench knuckle.

It's part of a specialised set of tools called "thingamibobs"..

yes.. that's the official name for it...they typically come in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and larger drives for your ratchet and sockets... allowing you to get to nuts/bolts that aren't in a straight path.
