I really need an eye exam. Too many hours on the computer.
I first read your message as "wenches"
I did shoot my film camera this past weekend at the Gilroy
Garlic Festival
iPhone Olympia, WA
I was in Bristol some years ago. It used to be home to
Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry and they still have a tasting
room. I don't remember seeing many wenches and had my eye
out for them. I did chat up a very nice lady cop on the
underground, blue black hair and brigh blue eyes. Too bad
she lived so far away.
Anyone who wants Bristol wrenches can get them from the
original manuacturer and Xcelite makes a set of screwdriver
style Bristol wrenches. I got my Bristol keys from Max Gain
(do a google search) and the Xcelite set from Test Equipment
Depot (again a Google search will find them). The keys are
cheap, the Xcelite set not so cheap. The reason for the
exotic tools is that I am working on a Collins receiver and
Collins was fond of Bristol screws. There are at least a
dozen different odd screw caps these days. Most intended for
use with power equipment. I think the reason Collins chose
Bristol is because they are a lot less likely than Allen
heads to be damaged by camming of the wrench. All too often
one finds Allen set screws where the corners of the socket
are so badly damaged that the screw has to be removed with
an EZout.
