I Bet that Metric adjustable wrench cost many pounds more than the inch one.

The metric adjustable wrench would have been paid for in Euros...

One item I always carry - is my emergency road service card. Some items I do
not want to tackle myself.

To All
Does the Metric Adj. Wrench come in a LEFT HAND version? It should work
better on the left hand side of our Birds.
When in doubt use your Duck Tape!!

I agree that tools belong in the hands of the operators that read the
directions for both the tools and the equipment being worked on.

Oh, Jim, I have an unending supply of questions. I have real answers
too, which I am also happy to share... When helpful.

Surely not. I am _capable_ of using a great many tools, many of which
do not belong in a Wanderlodge tool box.

May your toolbox always be full,

Ernie,

I work in the transportation industry. One of the inside
jokes /trick questions we ask the trainee drivers is what it the
only tool you need to change a tire?

After they've named impact drills, crow bars, hydrolic jacks, etc we
hold up a quarter to call the road service guys.

Well I just can't resist!

As I have mentioned previously, in my old 'hot rod' days, we used
to carry just two items, a hammer and a prophylactic. The premise
being 'if you can't fix it, F$%@ it'. Hopefully this is not
offensive, just light hearted..

Pete, your comments regarding metric tools is right on. I hadn't
even considered that. I will make sure I have metric and imperial
wrenches, sockets etc.

I probably should have a multimeter now for "sticks" house.
