Frank needs help working out the X series wrenches

Post by Frank Murch »

Here is an email where I know there is a problem in the web site - I know what I put up was NOT factual, but I have not had the expertise or the time to actually figure this out. There are several of these, and I could use the help

Hi, I've appreciated using your web site but I see an oversight on the above page.

You appear to have done a cutnpaste for tabulating the 2nd group of offset-non offset wrenches which were the same size at each end.

eg These were just in this form, X-26 for the 13/16"

My Answer

Subject: Re: X-Series Wrenches Section

Thanks - One of the biggest problems I have is that - as a one man show - I can not see my own mistakes. I think I understand and I fixed it, but can you see if I got it?

If you see any more - please let me know. I also have spelling mistakes and I put up what I thought to be true and correct - That does not make it true and correct, only my opinion. I am sure there are many areas where a new tool find or an old Snap-on guy could striaghten out the site

Thanks

Frank

And return

Hi Frank, I think I understand and I fixed it, but can you see if I got it?

Sorry to say it's got somewhat worse, go to 1939 Catalog N and you'll see there are two styles of X- wrenches so the double entry you had was right but you hadn't edited the size table for the offset/straight single sized ones down to show just that in the table.

Keep up the good work and don't worry about the spelling police.

This is a case where I just "missed"
