Was surprised of the shape they are in.

I'll have to check, but I think I have two 705 Williams. If I do, one can be yours.

I'll see if I can find Northkid's thread. He has one. I have the display on a catalog page. It looks pretty easy to build. I'm saving Williams to build one myself.

Only seems proper to make a display for them and I have a whole hack of walnut to use.

Post by: Branson on October 07, 2013, 08:07:18 AM: Looking through my engineer's wrenches for a 705 for Heelspur, I found three, all Williams, same style logo. But one of them was about a half inch shorter than the other two. What gives with this?

Post by: rusty on October 07, 2013, 05:25:16 PM: Billings wrenches are inconsistent for handle length for the same size wrench, so I'm not surprised Williams is also. Probably a production adjustment to make them look pretty side by side in sets, to make marketing happy.
