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

WORKED AS ADVERTISED. TRICKY AT FIRST BUT SIMPLE ON A '12 HONDA 750 SHADOW. STILL NEEDED A HAMMER AND PUNCH TO LOOSEN THE LOCK RING ON MY '15 VICTORY GUNNER. TIGHT TURN SPACE ON THE VICTORY BUT WORKED ABOUT 1/8 OF A TURN AT A TIME. BOTH RIDE MUCH BETTER AND DON'T BOTTOM OUT LIKE BEFORE. RIDE AND TRY IT AFTER ONE FIXED NOTCH ON A SHADOW OR 1/4" AT A TIME ON THE VICTORY MONO SHOCK. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.

Vintage tools -- collect or actually use?

Depends on the task and the tool. I have some stuff that is NOS and I generally don't use it.

To expand on this, I have a small collection of older pre-Cooper Lufkin tape measures, made in Saginaw, Michigan and most with original packaging. I tend to find very clean NOS examples for not much money.

Would I collect them? Absolutely. Workmanship on these is top notch, they have a nice heft to them, and I particularly like their dull grey chrome clad blades on some models. I have a NOS 50' Ni-Clad which has a bright polished nickel finish and is basically unusable in the sun unless you're wearing a welding hood. Probably why there are no tapes with shiny finishes today. They even offered a couple models of stainless tapes, which I postulate were ahead of their time. Of course, a lot of these old tapes a hook was optional or an add on accessory, and most don't have one, another strike as I don't have time to hammer a nail into whatever I'm measuring.

Of course I do have a trusty newer (but still vintage) Lufkin winder that I use for anything my Stanley's can't handle, so past 30 ft to 50'. I bought it used but specifically because it is graduated in 16ths, has a chrome clad blade, and most important a hook. 2.5 years of construction use and it might have some scuffs.


Would I use them daily? No, to preserve NOS and also, the old hand wind tape measures are annoying in use esp if you have a lot of tape ran out. my users are mostly modern USA Stanleys...a mix of older Leverlock and current powerlock...no triple chromed, mirror finish brass housings, no stitched leather. Plastic, some have rubber bumpers, and dinky pocket clips, but still with their own kind of toughness. The modern sealed mechanisms are more foreign body ingress resistant than the old ones, too although someone must still want this wind up style as Milwaukee makes one, and it is a totally open design which seems like a bad idea.

I hope this rambling post makes sense.
