Source of metric thumb screws?

Apr 09, 2005 9 Replies

I'm after a source of metric thumb screws, at least that is the name I know them by. They are screws with large, usually knurled, heads used when you wish to undo without tools.



Can anyone recommend a source, please?


Not tried this supplier but found them on google:

Who are you planning to torture? ;-)

Europeans obviously, or he would have wanted Whitworth. Might be Wiltshire constabulary though?

I was expecting that. Actually, I was so sure that "thumb screw" wasn't the proper name so I didn't even try Google!

Thanks for all the responses.

Why Wiltshire Constabulary? He's not Airy, is he?

Anyone else might want to shake their hands.

I got an email from Airy recently, using his real name, in which he said he's "currently in the situation of not being allowed to post to Usenet for a peculiar legal reason".

He's still allowed to send me emails though.

Always retaliate first.

Pre-emptory retalitation works!

Iraq didn't attack the us with chemical weapons because we got in there first and STOMPED them!

Brian, RS Components do these as well

I just braze wing nuts onto lengths of studding. Easier to use, too.

Sorry - mea culpa, this was pointed out to me by a cynical trader!

Brilliant! Hopefully because Wiltshire's finest have trodden all over his fingers?
