It has come to my attention that I made a typo in the following Reply:

<Martha,

Thanks ever so much for making the Great Unwashed aware of this wonderful trinket from China. It's a "good thing". It is similar to one I saw about 40 years ago, but that one didn't have that thick layer of lustrous chrome. One thing, Willi von Wiener, my mechanic, told me that if a wrench fits a 3/4 inch nut, then it is nearly 1/16 inch too large for a 19 mm nut. So, do you know if there is a matching pair of locking pliers to complete this ensemble?

It should read as follows:

It is similar to one I saw about 40 years ago, but that one didn't have that thick layer of lustrous chrome. One thing, Willi von Wiener, my mechanic, told me that if a wrench fits a 3/4 inch nut, then it is nearly 1/3 of 1/160 inch too large for a 19 mm nut. So, do you know if there is a matching pair of locking pliers to complete this ensemble?

I must apologize for the error. I saw my physician today who gave me the depressing news that I was suffering from Beierl's Syndrome. The diagnosis of this malady is very difficult because, according to Dr. Feelgoode, its sole symptom is a solitary brain fart occurring once during the lifetime of the sufferer. The disorder then enters a latency and the inflicted goes through the rest of his life with no further symptoms.
