The Mysterious Singer 'Hold-Nut Spanner'...
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2019 4:07 pm
Here's a little Singer curiosity!
The 'Hold-Nut Spanner' is listed in the 1074cc Bantam handbook as a nifty device that replaces the wheel brace, spark plug spanner and screw driver as an all-in-one tool.
The really interesting part is that the body of the device, which is a box spanner and serves as the wheel brace, forms a magazine that the wheel nuts slide into as you take each one off so you don't lose them.
In typical Singer fashion, the handbook shows a photo of the tool being used as a wheel brace on a Bantam wheel, but the shot of it being used as a spark plug spanner is of what appears to be an 11HP or 12HP engine!
It's a pretty clever piece of kit and I wonder if anyone out there has one, or has seen one?
