Back in June in a thread about tools, I asked if anyone recalled:

Well, I've found the brand and the food chain. J.W.Williams, United Greenfield
division of TRW Inc. They were called "Lockajust wrenches" and the aussie agent
in the '70s was Sulco in the Chatswood area.

Does this ring any bells with any of the "more mature" n/g regulars?
