Wrench Avalanche
« on: July 25, 2012, 12:11:31 AM »
I was down in the basement this evening on my knees looking through some drawers for combination wrenches to picture and post I heard a crash and a shelf full of wrenches tipped over and nearly buried me alive. Guess I will have to start wearing a hard had when in the wrench dungeon.

That looks like a narrow escape. Those are big enough to do some damage.

Just to see if there are any farm boys on the list,  put the things with the stars sticking out of the top bucket in the what's it.  They are not tools. 
Except for the ones on the floor, you do have a good sorting system going.

1. I dont know what a basement is.  Florida boy!
2. I wish I had a basement like that.
3. If you remove the frying pans, you will have plenty of room.


"Are the wrenches ok?"   Too funny !!

 A word of advice (collect lighter wrenchs) Thats wrenchs that weigh less not wrenchs for lighters. What a confusing language we use.
Glad you escaped unscathed.

If that's a HINKLE in the top photo (the one nearest the frying pan bucket under the bronze MASTERWRENCH), I've got some info about the maker in the September MVWC newsletter.

Good eye Stan, It is a Hinkle self adjust and the bronze Masterench type is marked VIKING Mfg. Co. - K.C MO. Reverse is marked PAT. PEND.
