The finish on the Bonney wrenches I've seen is extraordinary. Seems to be a
rare brand, tho--this is the first reference to them I've seen.

I thought Bonney had gone out of business- maybe someone resurrected the
name?

I havew a 3/8 as well as a 1/2" drive socket set from Bonny as well as
a set of combination wrenches and a set of tubeing nut wrneches (semi
box end/w box end) thats been in unse form better than 35 years and
they still feel great and work fine.....Bonney tools were a high end
tool many many years ago. I have quite a few Wilde piers, and they
work fine and have not shown any wear, and the Diamond Foprd wrenches
are a mainstay in all my tool boxes.

Thanks for posting the link, Alex. I know what I can get both my boys for
their birthdays now. A set of Bonney wrenches. If you look in an airline
mechanic's toolbox and see Bonney's, you've come across a technician with
impeccable taste in hand tools. I've always considered them the benchmark
for all other wrenches. Nothing better. They're out of business now, and
more's the pity.

I thought Williams was "the benchmark". But not as pretty as Bonney or
Armstrong.
I personally like Armstrong, as well--another great finish, an "artful" body
on their wrenches.

The last Bonney I saw was in a guy's shop, and his kid misplaced it. The
fellow was absolutely beside himself, almost closed the shop! Eventually it
turned up.

Of course, my only complete sets are goddamm craftsman, with hodge-podge's
of other names.
I'd be happy w/ *one* 3/4" Bonney!
