I had an interesting surprise yesterday . I put my gear wrench 13 m open end of a ratcheting wrench on a bolt and it did not fit. Hmm closer inspection revealed the end never went through the broaching step.
This post is in no way intended as a complaint. but this wrench is a bit of an oddity. I know if I go to sears they will hand me a new one(craftsman brand )but that is OK. But I got thinking is this wrench worth more as an oddity, conversation piece teaching tool or gag that a normal wrench. Hmm the possibility. this wrench has taught me that most folks have no idea of the steps in making a wrench. I show it to people and they see the open end is too small 11mm but folks can not tell me why.
Thoughts??
do I send this oddity back to the furnace from witch it came by turning it in for exchange or buy a replacement for my tool kit and keep this rare find.
misprinted stamps and miss stamped coins are worth more than a good run o the mill example. does this hold true for tools?
