Another one for you to consider in the way of oversized tools... Years ago, I worked at Snap-On Tools main warehouse picking tool orders on second shift. We came in to work one night, and as we walked past the receiving dock, we spotted one (o-n-e, 1) socket sitting on a full sized pallet all by it's lonesome self. IIRC, the square drive on this monster was eight inches or so, and the socket size across flats was somewhere around fourteen inches! It was sitting with the hex opening facing down and stood about 2.5 feet tall. It even had a ring of tapped holes circling the body at where we assumed the balance point to be, so an eyebolt and shackle could be used with a crane to lift it into place.
Well, speculation was running rampant that night as to exactly what that monster was to be used for. It was from the specials department and was headed to the San Fransisco branch, so most of us guessed it might be headed to the Golden Gate Bridge. Probably wrong, but it was the best guess we had. Imagine what that socket cost, even in the early 70's...
