Spanner

Old tools have an age-worn oil-rubbed torque-nicked patina to them that makes them the best tool to have in the hand for the job. An energy of mechanics past glows from their softened edges; but hard true faces ready to bite a bolthead or twist a nut free lies in wait.

This collection of BSA wrenches look ready for action! Rust requiring an oily hand with intent and a vintage motorcycle project replete with Whitworth fastenings gets underway

  1. Hey Geordie. Are these your collection? I have a pretty good set of BSA spanners also….I find them fairly often for just $1-$2 a pop in the local Sunday junk market…. As you say, patina and fit to purpose, they win in every way. Cheers, BSA-Les
