    my spanner is smaller than your spanner

    Found this today while cleaning up the tools in the shed could it be the smallest spanner in the world? probably not but it is small
    if you have a smaller spanner post a pic up and we will compare sizes
    ha!

    3BA size - not out of any Toyota toolkit I know!


    BTW: "King Dick" were the brand of the adjustable spanners used in the original 1948 Land Rover toolkit.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    The scale on the rule is in millimetres



    I also have ring spanners in the same sizes.



    (but don't ask me to use them)

    Mark

    So they would go with model train sets would they?

    Do they work? and what would be the actual size? given that they scale models of the real thing!

    Yeah model train/military/diorama detailing parts-laser cut from high density paper. Yes, they do work for what they are intended for (flicking onto the floor and losing them forever), but they won't tighten any nuts...

    I also have this little fellow:



    I have more small actual tools, as my grandfather was a watch maker and I inherited his tools, such as a vice with ruby jaws.

    If they were cut from aluminium sheet, they may tighten the nut. But then you'd have to make them look like rusty iron spanners!
