| 10 speeds (Shimano Ultegra) being installed on the newly acquired Carbon Wheels (Look brand) with glue-on tires (Continental tubulars). The installation tool is in place and needs to be torqued to 40 N-m. I can't find my torque wrench in the overcrowded garage! Freddy (Local Bike Shop) modified a spoke to fit the missing one and trued the wheel. |

| Same rabbit in the same area near the bridge... |
Snap-on and Blue Point wrenches
 |
| This is a very small wrench ("ignition" wrench) |
 |
| This is a very long, thin wrench. Snap-on & Blue Point were started in the 20's. At some point, Snap-on bought the Blue Point brand & it became the budget line for Snap-on. |

Plomb Pliars & Proto Screw Driver
 |
| Plomb tool company changed names to Proto in the 50's. Plomb started in Los Angeles and the tools were made here. This Proto Screw driver (about 6 inches long... small) is stamped "Los Angeles" on it. |
 |
| As can be seen relative to the quarter, this is a very small pair of adjustable pliers made by Plomb. |
Snap-on 3/8 ractchet (FV71) & Plomb 9/32" mini-breaker bar
 |
| The V in the model number signifies an tool produced for the Military (this one is probably WWII or Korean War Era...) |
 |
| The 1/4" extension is "Husky" brand and the socket is a 1/2" Craftsman |
 |
| The original size of the square is about 9/32" (not 1/4") and was made that way for the military (WF standing for Wright Field). Snap-on also made the odd size per military spec. Someone modified the square on this handle to fit 1/4" sockets (filed/ground down... poorly...) |
 |
| The handle has provision to insert a bar (with a check-ball inside) |
