Herbrand 57/64" Spark Plug Socket Restoration - "Socket Obscura" Ep. 2

[@adeeponionbreath]

Nice video! You clued me into the HER in Herbrand. Never knew. I used these wrenches for many years in various shops. Now I’m retired so I can work naked in my shop.

[@prosen426]

I enjoyed the humour, aha. I almost thought you were serious for a second there! 10/10

[@ballinator]

Thanks for watching.

[@allangibson8494]

I’ve got a full set of 1/64” increment sockets (from 3/8” to 1”…) useful for truely odd sized bolts.

[@ballinator]

Very cool. I've collected most of the /32 sockets, but this is my first /64 one.

[@allangibson8494]

@@ballinator It’s one of my eight socket sets… (Whitworth, British Association (BA), Metric, SAE…)

[@ballinator]

Yeah, I plan to do a video on Whitworth in the future.

[@yoshimoshi6711]

@allangibson8494 please elaborate there are only 3 known 64th sockets besides the common smaller ones under 10 mm. Which other ones do you have?

[@allangibson8494]

@@yoshimoshi6711 A full set from 3/16” to 1 1/16” - manufactured in WW2. They were effectively an alternative to metric 1mm step sockets (which I also have) and also fit Whitworth bolts “adequately” if not perfectly.

LoL that was a good video i have quite a bit of herbrand tools 🔧 including the 177 battery tool it was one of their own designs

[@ballinator]

Thanks! I'll have to look up that battery tool.

[@martinblouin3639]

aah, nothing like green mint cleaning solution to get your socket clean and fresh! 😂

[@ballinator]

Yeah. It doesn't taste like it looks though. Do not recommend drinking.

[@ballinator]

Thanks!
