The Spanner & Wrench Collector newsletter was first issued in August 2010 and accompanies each issue of The Tool Chest which is distributed by mail four times a year to members. The Spanner & Wrench Collector includes original articles and photos of interesting spanners, wrenches, shifters and related items from members' collections as well as private and public displays and information about the companies that produced or used the tools. Although primarily intended for those with a particular interest in these tools, the content will be of interest to anyone who appreciates hand tools and their history.
Articles in each isssue of Spanner and Wrench Collector are listed below. Click on a number to jump to the Table of Contents for that issue.
