No, sorry dude, I don't. But the new Watts double-turrets do have a wider inner diameter than the old ones if you were wondering about that. The new ones are touted as US made. I like them. Nice to be able to easily solder four components at a single junction, such as at the tail section on a PI.

Surf, here's my comments from a previous post........

" Matter of fact, I just mic'd a few of Ken's double turrets against Keystone data, both of which I could insert a .07855 pin gage. The minor differences are on average the swage end is about .010 shorter (.161) vs Keystone .172 and an OD of .114 verses the .112 of Keystone data."

I didnt realize watts had new versions of the turrets. I doubt i'll buy any more. Im still holding a grudge from my last order...

I love the Hoffman turrets, and I think they're the cheapest too. I think you can only stuff 2-3 leads in the top, but I almost exclusively hook leads around the turret...NASA style :roll:
