G'Day, Gents:

A question regarding the "spanners": Will someone be kind enough to give me the correct sizes?? I ordered a set - with the clip and the two Largest spanners are "enormous". The three smaller ones appear to be correct, they also appear to be from a different set.

I tried as best I could to determine the sizes from the pictures on this forum but I'm not sure that I know what I'm doing. (That happens a lot once you turn 80 years old). I'm not familiar with the size designations either.

What I have is: The three that I believe are correct - - -

Chrome Vanadium side - - - - - - ELORA No. 100 side
9/16 X 1/2 - - - - - - - - - - 1/2 X 7/16
BSF BSF - - - - - - - - - - BSW BSW

7/16 X 3/8 - - - - - - - - - - 7/16 X 1/2
BSW BSW - - - - - - - - - - BSF BSF

3/8 X 7/16 - - - - - - - - - 3/8 X 5/16
BSF BSF - - - - - - - - - BSW BSW

These all say "Made in Germany"

The two Spanners that appear to be WAY to large are:

11/16 X 3/4 - - - - - - - - 7/8 X 3/4
BSW BSW - - - - - - - - BSF BSF

5/8 X 9/16 - - - - - - - - - 11/16 X 5/8
BSW BSW - - - - - - - - - BSF X BSF

These two just say "Germany"

ALL of the spanners have the size and shown "letter designation" shown in a rectangular shaped inset. My best guess is that it was a Set of Seven or Eight spanners and the seller sent me the Largest Five rather than the Smallest five. This contention might be supported by the fact that the Clip was designed to hold 7 or 8 spanners.

Assistance, as always , is greatly appreciated.
