Wow !
1 of 1 found this helpful Lets face it, anything that Winkle did was legendary, let alone compelling.
The accounts detailed here are no exception and when read in conjunction with his other books, "Wings on my sleeve", "Wings of the Navy", "Wings of the luftwaffe" etc your likely to be repeatedly exclaiming in the same terms as Austin Powers when confronted by the Chinese Twins.
I've been reading a chapter after brekka each day, if only just to remind me what a lucky bunch of barstewards baby boomers and subsequent generations are not to ave gone through all that.

Good Idea - but not quite Carlsberg
1 of 1 found this helpful The device is supposed to be a one-press to attachment/release pump wrench.
However, my feeling I that it doesn't entirely achieve that design objective.
Pros
Short shank and relatively small head/jaws means it can get into relatively small spaces.
Relatively light weight compared with the competition
Cons
Although I haven't used it on a pump (Attempted to use it on difficult to reach/see pipe connections), my feeling is that there isn't sufficient throw on the shank to give the torque to release a well-set 50mm and above pump ring nut
Also, when using it on a lesser application, I found that the shuttle jaw mechanism could occasionally skip teeth on the rack, causing the grip to loosen.
The quick-release shuttle mechanism worked best with the jaws set at the widest opening range. When the jaw opening was set on a narrower gap, even with the quick-release button fully depressed, the shuttle mechanism tended to clip the teeth of the rack when being moved - not good when you're trying to apply the tool in a difficult to reach/see situation because resistance to movement of the jaws maybe the only indication the workman gets that the tool is gripping properly - there were some occasions when I went to turn the wrench only to find that I'd got a "False positive" and that the jaws weren't completely closed round the object that needed turning. I think the problem here lies with the fact that the quick-release button also serves as the mechanism to propel/withdraw the shuttle mechanism and the extra pressure on the QR button necessary to cause the shuttle to close or open the jaws causes the shuttle to pitch either slightly forward or backward leading to "Clipping" of the teeth on the rack.
IMHO the handle needs to be mildly soft-grip, with limited movement both up and down the shank and with a narrow arc of range of movement to each side of the "Vertical" of the shank. A slot in the shank (At the handle end) and some sort of lock-off mechanism might be useful.
Further, the quick release mechanism and the shuttle running gear need to be modified to prevent clipping of the teeth. Perhaps the dual function QR button needs to dispensed with and replaced by a wheeled shuttle with a button which when released engaged and locked a pinion/dog clutch in the rack .To facilitate this, perhaps the rack teeth need to be position on the wider profile of the shank (Maybe, on both opposite sides). That way, "False positives" for effective engagement of the tool would be avoided and shuttle movement when "Sizing" the jaws would be free of impediment.
That said, my observations come from my attempt to use this tool for a purpose for which it wasn't really designed i.e. an old-fashioned ring nut on a kitchen sink waste.

DVD/CD Tray drive band
Just the job !
Arrived promptly. Product as described.
Fitting (To an HP Lightscribe) very easy.
Now the CD tray opens and closes as it should do.
