    Got to love those Starrett #98's. I picked up an 8" from a tool seller at a flea market several years ago.

    Oh yeah, the T handle is a great thing - especially those that have a strong spring and a ball or similar design to give resistance to the sliding of the rod... I don`t like a free floating rod, but a rod that stays in place during spinning or even when you extend it out for max torque - oh yeah, those are good!
    A good wrench is great, but generally, a socket and a breaker bar or a socket and a T-handle are so much more versatile and effective(and less abusive towards both the nut(in majority of cases) and the operator...) in most cases... Also, imbus sockets, the large ones make for excellent custom keys and wrenches when you have access to a lathe and/or a mill - depending on what you need to make outta them...
    The triple-square sockets also fit the square headed bolts on machines and machine components/accessories(vises, toolposts and similar) - being just a star made by three overlapping but offset squares... That make a long triple-square socket with a long extension and a t-handle an ideal vice tightening mechanism, unlike those dreck cnc solutions that people buy into... My Rohm mill-vise nicely fits the long 18 triplesq. socket...
    Best regards!

    Yep. The 100ths is never on the side I want. 😆
