Wanted, dimensions for this tool

Flatspot · Jun 12, 2020

I have decided I’d like to make a facsimile of the original Commando points tool.

can someone please supply me with the dimensions - even just the overall length will do as I can scale it from that

BTW, Landspeedracer, the specimen shown is not a re-pop. Genuine article from my original Atlas tool kit.

I guess you would have to have been a child in the UK to understand that one.....

If Landspeedracer does a good job, he may get a badge!

I found a scrap piece of old metal out in the garage, I gave that seeing to with a hacksaw and files, and added a piece of 15 thou feeler gauge. It works, it also doesn’t look mass produced. Good enough for me. It looks as though you need to click on the link to see the pics.
