First up, a roll, and I can't resist tool rolls, of BA sockets on long extensions, plus their handle. There's no makers name, but they run from 0BA to 4BA. Since many nuts and bolts on larger scale models, such as the retaining nut for boat props, are BA, this is much better than messing around with pliers! The nuts on the back of 16mm scale couplings are BA too, which is where Iver used this set.
The other tool is the smallest engineer's square I've ever seen. 5cm tall on the longest edge, it's so cute!
Useful too. Ideal to get into the smallest spaces on models. Whowever JW was, I hope they are happy that I'm giving this tool a good home.
All for a fiver - not bad!

I' ve always wondered how to check if a second hand square is, well, still square π
BTW You emailed me regarding my PSModels flat wagon build and I sent 2 replies (one to yr Warners email address, one to yr 'AskPhil' email) but I got no reply. Maybe my emails went to junk.
Let me know either way... If I dont hear from you I'll assume you've moved on.
All the best
Steve
Steve - Sorry. Crazy busy at the moment, and I'm well behind with the email. I don't know if I got the Warners copy, but I definitely received the one to my own account.
Thanks for letting me know. 1 out of 2 aint bad π
Contact me when you are ready, no rush from my end.
Cheers Steve
Checking "squarenes" is easy. Get a bit of wood or even a sheet of paper with a known straight edge. Put the short edge of the square against the straight edge and draw a line along the long edge. Flip the square over and see if the long edge aligns to your mark.
