Re: Wiha nut driver set question

I got mine from McMaster-Carr. Item - 52965A15. The online catalog does not have the Wiha name displayed on them, but when they arrived they are indeed Wiha and the name is on the Handle. That was a couple of years ago, not sure if they changed suppliers.

Re: Mystery thread pitch on waterglass drain stem

That is an old Tru-Scale water gauge. By my notes and drawings the thread is #1-72. Those threads where cut with Geometric die head so the OD of the threads may have been off.
