Latshaw Pocket Wrench II

[Benner]

I had one but traded it away after getting an Atwood.  Nice tools, but never got used since the Atwood arrived.

Indeed - it was me you traded it to That be it, in the pics.

Hey, I'm not some old codger like Neil or Mike, I do remember. 

[DaveK]

Haha. I thought you would, but was really just demonstrating that I remembered myself.

2009 was quite a busy year for trading and such - I have no idea where most stuff came from

Not this side of Xmas I'm afraid, as it's all a little tight till next payday

[DaveK]

That's very kind of you Mike.

I don't actually need one (see the OP!), and it would probably be better if someone who wanted one would be the middle man in the UK, but if nobody volunteers - I'll do it:)

Thanks for the tip about the free shipping.   I have wanted a stainless steel Pocket Wrench for a long time, but the shipping costs kept me from ordering -- until tonight.

I'm looking to buy one for a long time now,and I sent email to Lee Valley;
They are willing to sent one to Serbia,but the postage is about $40-for a thing that costs $ 10.95 that's too much

That's odd, The pocket wrench should fit in a regular envelope and come in at well under 100 grams - $4.20 from my address according to the Canada post website.

I've taken to carrying the PocketWrench II instead of the Gerber Artifact.   The PocketWrench II is a little easer to carry because it is flat.  

I put the wrench portion to work already while repairing a mailbox and used the beveled end (flat screwdriver) to tighten a screw holding a vanity handle.  

A 1/4 inch (inside diameter) rubber grommet or O-ring slipped over the hex shaft of a screwdriver bit extension prevents it from falling out of the PocketWrench II.

Has anyone seen one of these at an actual store?

[Smitty44]

Mine is a chrome vanadium that I picked up in a local hardware store many years ago,and I really like your idea Parnass with the o-ring or rubber grommet,I sometimes carry mine in my LM Wave nylon sheath,now I need to check if my bit extension will fit in the side also,with my black fisher space pen.

Neat trick - I like it !
