Wrench Avalanche

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.

Hope you're not hurt!

but WOW

Nice view! I'll be studying these pictures tomorrow.

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

I have to show this to my wife. She thinks I am the only guy that "Keeps every tool he buys." Looks like I'm a novice. Good Post. rnb

Had the same thing happen to me once.

I bet could hurt.

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.

Are the wrenches ok?

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.

I think I have had a glimpse into my future!!! Glad you dodged the avalanche.

Perhaps it is time for Maximum Capacity signs on the shelves LOL!

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.
