I was given a set of "Wirecraft" tools, made in 1967 by J & C R Wood in Hull. Are these the same people?I was talking to Barry Wood, the son of the guy who started the whole business.
The set consists of a bender/ring-roller, a punch/shear and a couple of scroll benders. It also came with rivets (of which there was only one left by the time I got it). It sounds like this would be the sort of thing they developed for the ex-servicemen. They aren't very big and I haven't tried using them yet.
