Title: why do you guys say DOE?
Post by: bgarrett on August 04, 2012, 11:15:40 AM
Wrenches are either open end, box end or combination, so why use DOE?

Not to mention the farm wrenches, which may be triple open end, quadruple open end.....

'Socket wrench' is more of a problem tho, is it a wrench with a socket forged into the end? or a socket that snaps onto a ratchet.....

I just picked-up this Proto DDOE today.  The other side says VICTOR RT-20. No sizes stamped, but they are 11/16 x 1 x 1-1/8 x x1-1/4.

Yup, Victor torch wrench, one of the very few with an obvious maker....

>She just said to me... "You wouldn't know."

The correct response to that is NOT "Are you sure?"

(Unless you have a widescreen TV with cable in the doghouse...)
