      1. You stole what I was going to say.
      2. I thought the same thing. I had a dental implant... implanted last year and my dentist used the little Torque Wrench while I was numbed up and I thought it was really cool. My girlfriend thinks I am crazy for being excited by that.
      3. I actually work for a dental company and spoke to one of our dentists about that experience. They told me that those little wrenches cost like $500 or so because of how specialized they are.

    The smallest open end wrench I own is 1.6 mm. That and a 2.0. They were laser cut. Box end and open end. I had to order them to replace head gaskets on a 1/20 steam engine. There was no space to use a nut driver without taking apart the complete engine. I will say using tools that small is a fun challenge. But fingers are so big and the bolts are so small. My vision is not what it used to be either.

    Wow, great stuff Adam. As if the micro-tools were not enough for me to geek out on, the Bell Lab books really hit home. My late Father worked for Bell from 1953 to 1988. Many a "Bell System" hand tool managed to find its way in my boyhood home, as well as Western Electric "stuff." He would take me to work now and again in the 1970's. Now, if I listen closely, I can still hear the infamous Bell Tel Crossbars clicking across the entire floor of the building. Brass bars with magnets attached, making connections old Gertrude did seated at her switchboard, not too many years prior. Hundreds of books and notepads not unlike the one you have and many other types lining the sea of desks and shelves of the stone building. Everything, proudly branded with that familiar Bell logo. You got me on this one my friend. This vid brought a tear to my aging eyes. Thank you kind Sir. Enjoy...
