Me too also.

 

Our ring was one long and one short

 

About 15 years ago, we had problems with our phone, a landline. The phone Co. sent a guy out to look at it, he climbed the pole out front, and then we didn't see him again for two days. On the third day he came back with another guy, his supervisor. He told me that my house ( C. 1880 ) had it's own dedicated line going down to two towns away. He said he climbed every pole for two towns between here and there, and he never had seen a old box like the one that was on my house with carbon fuses. The supervisor had heard of them and joked he was gonna send it to the Smithsonian.

 

California is "The Land of Fruit and Nuts" and I mean the people not what they grow.

 

Back when I worked for the phone company in the 1960s they still had lots of those protectors around.

 

Do I qualify?

 

Sure do, :stacke:

 

TurboDiesel, while in the Marines stationed at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii back in '72 I bought a DT175 Yamaha that had a 4" crescent wrench on the key chain. I carried it until it wore plum out then replaced it with another, then another, then another..... I don't even take a trip to a funeral, wedding or anywhere for that matter (except bed) without one. Innumerable 'saves' especially during a 40(ish) year career in HVAC.

You know what they say.... "It ain't the size of the tool....its how you use it that matters"......

 

May I be one of the first to say.....yes, with a resounding TWO THUMBS UP !!!!!

 

Same here, tman.
I ground my 4" adjustable out to 9/16 so it fits a 3/8 nut. That makes it even more handy!

We do everything from plumbing, heating and electric to mechanical and chemical piping and equipment for water and waste water plants. Never go anywhere on the site without an 8" pipe wrench and an adjustable wrench.

 

Well, I happen to carry one in my purse or glovebox on my bike or in my truck. It's my little tool kit as a just in case and has bailed me out on a multitude of occasions. Think I kid? And to top it off, it is a real Crescent Wrench

 

some handy gadgets right there, Star Gazer!

 

Looks like everything but keys!

 

That is absolutely bizarre that you grind them to 9/16 !!!! I too still grind them to fit a 9/16 because that's the size of the brass refrigeration charging port caps.

StarGazer, the little screw that holds the adjusting thingy in fell out and the adjuster thingy was lost whist on a typical vibratory ride on the ring-a-ding Yammie two stroke. As a result the replacement wrench(s) had to live in my pocket from then on.

 

I keep the keys on separate rings! I have to do it that way of they might be too heavy for me to lift!

 

Mine opens to a little more than 9/16ths and Eric VW , that's 15mm to you!

Don't feel bad, I lost an entire set of keys that way. Some of those old Harley Hardtails were rough! My eyeballs would vibrate for an hour after a ride!
