Re: Locking Pins
" I think a box wrench is the same as a ring spanner"
That is the conclusion I came to. We will all just have to accept there are differences in usage among various countries. Bonnet, hood; crown wheel, ring gear; cotter pin, taper pin; take a slash, take a whiz; and so on. It just is. I had a devil of a time reading an English service manual on a Rolls when I encountered the term, 'distance piece'. WTH is that I said. I went onto a worldwide refrigeration board that I am on frequented by Limeys and they confirmed that it simply meant 'spacer' gee why didn't you say so LOL

Re: Locking Pins
If a ring spanner is known as a box wrench, what is a socket spanner called. Seems to me that Box wrench would be a closer name for a socket. Socket spanners:

Re: Locking Pins
We simply call them sockets, and they are mostly 6 point sockets and 12 points sockets, but sometimes you can find 4 point and 8 point sockets. Points = number of flats.

Re: Locking Pins
Another name for a hammer - an adjuster. The bigger the hammer,the finer the adjuster.
