Metric,A.F,Whitworth BSF and BA combination spanners,gear wrenches,ring,open ended,tubular box,stubby,ratchet and obstruction spanners .
For a conversion chart for whitworth/BSF,imperial and metric spanner sizes or BA to metric/inch equivalent click here.
Modern vehicles and machinery use metric nuts and bolts, most manfacturers have dropped Whitworth (BSW) BSF and BA spanners,wrenches and sockets from their catalogues and imperial af sized tools are also getting harder to find especially deep sockets and obstruction spanners.For classic or collectors vehicles and motorcycles I still stock these "obsolete" tools and I mail order anywhere in the world so if you're in Australia or U.S.A. stuck for whitworth tools for your AJS,Triumph or Velocette I can probably help.As well as sensibly priced metric and imperial (af) tools I stock Whitworth BSF and BA sockets,spanners,wrenches and
imperial feeler gauges,wheel braces,repair and servicing tools..I have tools on Ebid auctions in the UK and in the US some tools are listed on Ecrater.

We have some special hybrid box spanners/sockets made.Designed to undo nuts with up to four inches of shaft or thread projecting.Various applications,hub nuts,axle shafts,gearbox and clutch assemblies.Various af ,whitworth and BSF sizes.You can see them here.
I can also supply model specific wheel braces,forget worrying about the strength of your 1/2 drive bar and tight wheel studs,some of these are made from two inch diameter solid steel!.For repair and servicing tools click here.
Whitworth ...takes its name from the brilliant British engineer who invented it.An early standard for threads and spanner sizes.The size of a whitworth (or BSF) spanner refers to the thread not the size of the bolt head.Phased out in the 60's officially no longer used after 1965,but some manufacturers carried on using it on some applications much later than this.If you are a classic car or motorcycle enthusiast you'll come across Whitworth and BSF sooner or later..(and the hole in the bottom of you new camera is almost certainly tapped 1/4 whitworth) Whitworth thread is coarser than.BSF but the same spanners fit either.AF means across flats and indicates the size in inches of spanner to be used as do metric spanners.BA is a older British standard often found on dynamos,starters and electrical fittings on old British cars and motorcycles ....
Coarse threads (whitworth,unc etc) are more likely to be used on the thread in a casting,most nut/bolt assemblies will use a fine thread.Fine threads (BSF,unf etc) have a greater resistance to being shaken loose by vibration.Brass or similar soft metal nuts and bolts are normally coarse threaded for strength.
