Kewl. I had a battery powered one that shot 25' 250
shots per minute! Kept the cats away.

Guess I was a careless craftsman, but never had a rounded-off hex head nor a
busted knuckle in all the years I used Metric and SAE tools on Whitworths.


Mostly, they fit fine. Which all of us who've actually handled tools
know. Unlike the sockpuppet, who's demonstrated little practical
knowledge. As per....

I have metric and SAE wrenches, plus a smattering of BSW stuff I
inherited from my father. I think the only place I routinely use a BSW
wrench is, of all places....... on the hex nut atop my Bridgeport M
head!

When I call up your good buddies, Pat Simmons and Dickie Smothers, what name
should I ask about? Certainly not that phoney one you've been posting at
the bottom. Do they know you as Barnacle Bill the Blowhard, too?



Wait, on second thought, don't mention my name to Dickie Smothers. He's
probably still mad at me. In '65 I talked him into being my financial
partner in a venture that didn't quite pan out. We had the exclusive
distribution rights for Whitworth Duct Tape imported into the USA.
never caught on for some reason.

When we were kids, we lived next door to a large truck

farmer...he
had about 5 acres in tomatoes...after picking time, what

was left
just sat there...the neighborhood kids would go out and

have tomato
fights with the over-ripe, soft, hot squishy tomatoes...


Don't they have a big annual tomato fight in some Italian
town?

Scotty


Don't know...tomatoes are not indigenous to Italy...they are a North
American plant...

Max, you do realize that you're chatting with at least two sockpuppets who
are the same person right?

Y'all must be very young. By the 1960s Britian had

adopted (BSS?) bolts using
US wrench sizes but with slightly different thread shapes.

However, a few
Whitworth sizes were still found on accessories like

carburettors, dampners and
dynamos. Six-point US box wrenches would fit all but a

couple of them OK.


Thank you. Did you read that, BB?

Other people's cats that roam at night, screaming and
raising hell, are fun to shoot.
