Tap & die kits to acquire, Spanner sockets reccs
#7
As above You can do most things with a ring and open ended spanner to cover the very few small sizes, and a larger shifting spanner (Old F spanners open wide and are so cheap can be misused). The stepped style of ring spanner is pleasant to use. A 3/8 drive set certainly speeds work but as with all socket sets the length of the appropriate spanner for low strength and higher tensile threads has to be borne in mind. If you have worked on moderns most threads are far less tight.
In their day, torsion wrenches would be almost unheard of, but many modern souls lack the experience to develop feel.
Sadly some replaceemnt BSF fasteners have UNC/F proportion heads.
And as above 1/4 and 5/16 split dies or die nuts and perhaps 3/8 for wheel studs useful for tidying threads.
