Well, I'm breaking down and buying afew BSF sockets/wrenches to supplement my normal American/metric stuff.
Please correct if I'm wrong, but where I'm reading about Whitworth wrenches, sockets, etc., I can assume these are the same as BSF wrenches??
I know there is a difference between pitch of the thread and # of threads between Whitworth and BSF, but in terms of getting a grip on a bolt, the terms Whitworth and BSF are interchangable right? I read somewhere that the tool measurements refer to shank diameter not head of the bolt or nut.
FYI, pricing I've seen is about $80 for 7 piece wrench set and $60 for 11 piece socket sets.
