OTC 4792 Spanner Wrench - 2" to 4-3/4" Capacity

PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. INITIALLY A BIT TRICKY, BUT SIMPLE ON A '12 HONDA 750 SHADOW. STILL REQUIRED A HAMMER AND PUNCH TO LOOSEN THE LOCK RING ON MY '15 VICTORY GUNNER. TIGHT TURN SPACE ON THE VICTORY, BUT MANAGED ABOUT 1/8 OF A TURN EACH TIME. BOTH BIKES NOW RIDE MUCH BETTER WITHOUT BOTTOMING OUT. ADJUST AND TEST AFTER ONE FIXED NOTCH ON A SHADOW OR 1/4" AT A TIME ON THE VICTORY MONO SHOCK. SMALL ADJUSTMENTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Vintage Tools - Collectible or Practical?

Depends on the task and the tool. I have some items that are NOS and generally don't use them.

Continuing this discussion, I have a small collection of older pre-Cooper Lufkin tape measures from Saginaw, Michigan, most still in their original packaging. I often find very clean NOS examples at reasonable prices.

Would I collect them? Absolutely. The craftsmanship is excellent, with a satisfying heft. I'm particularly fond of the dull grey chrome clad blades on certain models. However, I have a NOS 50' Ni-Clad tape with a highly polished nickel finish that is nearly unusable in the sun without a welding hood. This is likely why shiny finishes are rare today. They even offered a few stainless steel models, which might have been ahead of their time. Many old tapes lack a hook as it was an optional accessory, and I don't have time to hammer a nail into every surface I'm measuring.

I do have a trusty newer (yet still vintage) Lufkin winder for tasks beyond my Stanley's reach, specifically between 30'-50'. I bought it used because it's graduated in 16ths, has a chrome clad blade, and most importantly, a hook. After 2.5 years of construction use, it has some scuffs.

Would I use them daily? No, as I want to preserve the NOS items. Furthermore, old hand wind tape measures can be annoying to use, especially if much tape is pulled out. My daily users are modern USA Stanleys, a mix of older Leverlock and current Powerlock models. These lack the triple chromed, mirror finish brass housings, and stitched leather, instead featuring plastic with some rubber bumpers and dinky pocket clips. Yet, they possess their own toughness. Modern sealed mechanisms are also more resistant to foreign body ingress compared to the old ones, although there is a market for wind-up styles as evidenced by Milwaukee's open design, which seems counterintuitive.
