Well we all like the product, so well done Wingnutt.

I'm thinking it might be appropriate now to start commenting on what is in the listings ? As a Plomb fan I'm happy to see them named against various items, but I also notice that the USAAF 9/32" square drive tools, like the Plomb WF series, do not seem to have found favour with the NAF, just the usual 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4"

Also worth noting again that the illustrations for the Brown & Sharp centre gage and micrometer don't match exactly to the machinists toolkit listing images, so I'm treating all the images as just confirmed examples of manufacturers parts that meets the specifications, rather than the only manufacturers part to be procured.

... and finally, the R- prefix is Naval Air Force, and the L- prefix is Army Air Force ( as in R-41-B-1650 and L-41-B-1650 ) anyone have any other prefixes to add to the list?

Thanks to my copy of Wingnutt's reprint, I picked up these bolt cutters at a local thrift shop.

Nice pick-up, Don. Those brand perforated handle ends are cool.
