Not really, they're just 40 to 50 years old except for the flank drive one. Oh God, I'm so old...Yu can tell they've been used on a landy !
When I started as an apprentice we had pay deducted to buy tools, in those days (arrgh!) everything was imperial A/F, over the years it all got pushed to the back of the shed and replaced by much poorer quaity metric stuff. Since I've had the Series its all been brought out again and its still great; Britool, Snap-on, Bluepoint, King Dick, none of it ever breaks. I'm still using sockets my (long dead) father used in the war when they were first coming over from the US. Still no wear on them.

They've been sitting in the "waterproof tool locker" section of a Landy, that ain't exactly waterproof. Once they've rusted to the floor they don't rattle about any more..

There's no tool like an old tool, "vintage" is a better way to describe old age I always say.

OK I haven't taken this job any further because the heads on the nuts are completely rounded and impossible to budge. I can't see how to get them off. Any advice on this one very welcome.

the nut will split along the length of a flat with a sharp cold chisel and decent hammer

OK I'll try that. Thanks

Every time I try the chisel method, I end up clouting my hand or something breakable nearby. Before I resort to that I would apply as much heat as possible and try shifting the nut with a pair of footprints.

Should be a grub screw in the adapter that sits on the shaft.
