Orphans and Oddballs. A group of two.
« on: July 27, 2014, 10:16:41 PM »
Just for fun I thought I would show some orphans. I forgot i had a couple of these and found them sitting inside a cast toolbox i had stashed away. Maybe Bus or Stan can shed some light on one or two. Im familer with Hurst Mfg Co but this version isn't shown in Rathbones book.

A very nice collection.  Brings to mind buggy or carriage axle nut wenchs.  Many are bent to the right or broken that way from trying to take off the nut on left side  not realizing that it had a LH  thread.   Chuck Garrett

yes, there were many broken wheel studs due to  LH threads that owners & mechanics
did not realize were on the automobiles.

Nor a mid 60's F350 - the drivers side rear will get them every time.

Lord, lord!  I ONCE (and never again) broke a lug-bolt on a 62 Dodge 1/2-ton.  See, I'm not as slow as it might seem.   *he laughs*
