Show Us a Tool

Did they make a left handed model?

I am ambidextrous, so left and right don't mean as much a east and west. I just turn a bike upside to work on the drive side.

A catalog page from 1915 showing a couple of Billing & Spencer wrenches, yours might be one of these.

Mine is clearly the Model B. I also have several unknown brand monkey wrenches (what they call "automobile wrenches") of various sizes which I still use.

We always called that model G automobile wrench a Ford wrench. One came in the model T Ford toolkit, or so I was told. In my opinion, they are a must have tool when working on a steamship.

My first multi-tool was combination and flathead

I used the same tool to build airplanes, race cars, cranes, and motorcycles that do wheelies.

I had Serious torque issues as a kid too, and broke all the nuts, then all my machines kept falling apart

More importantly … is it available in metric?

Can you post a clear picture of the makers marks on the dynamic jaw?

My Great grandfather's wrench set.
The 5/8 - 3/4 one is a Billings and Spencer from that same time period.

The oddball on the left is a Ford T-1917. It's not engraved with his initials, P M, like the others so it wasn't part of his regular tool kit.
